How do you get more views on Flickr? Many people wonder how to get more views on their photos. Getting the amount of views you want on your photos is not difficult. Here are some easy tips for you: |  Flickr is one of the most popular websites for photosharing. |
1. Add your photographs to groups.
After uploading your photographs, search for groups that relate to your photograph, and post it there. The key is to get your photo in as many groups as possible. When added to a group, a photo then has the potential to be viewed by many of the members of that group. Try to find groups with lots of members, and groups with recent uploads and discussions.
2. Add contacts.
When you add contacts, people see that you have added them and then they have the option to add you back. When you add them, usually they will check out your profile, and your photostream. Also, if they add you back, your images then are displayed to them immediately after upload. Try to get as many contacts as possible. Also, try to get people to add you back.
3. Comment
When you comment on a photo, the person who took the photo has the option to reply, this makes you more visible to other Flickr users. Try to comment as much as possible, but make sure to be positive.
4. Post on Forums
