How is everyone?
I am in the process of creating an inspiration gallery for artists. I am currently using a wordpress gallery that is just a gallery. It is a list of thumbnails 125x125 (about 28 per page) Above the thumbnails will be one row of 125x125 ads. There will also be some small ads in the footer.
Once you click the thumbnail it will go to a larger version of the image with a title/info about the artwork/description etc. Under the title/info/description is a way for ppl to tweet the posts which will give us a huge twitter base.
I am new to i/m so as far as ranking for keywords and getting my name out there, if i went through a magazine style blog, I would be able to rank better then the gallery version.
If i keep the website i have now, i will be able to have a huge twitter base and also still make $ off the site but since I am using images the only seo would be my urls/blog titles(i couldnt use keywords in my post the same way as if i wrote a 300-500 page article). I could however optimize the images and try to rank well with google images.
As far as your experience, which do you think is the most profitable way to go(Also most blogs doing this now are using magazine..it would set me apart using the gallery but i want to make good $ off this)
Thanks
