Photography website with song related titles for photos

dinneenp

Hi,
I have a photo website that I've virtually finished, just doing some final tweeks.
I love music so have made some of the titles of photo in my photoblog music related (e.g. Race for the Prize and Horse Outside.

I'm going to try to change all existing photo titles so that they're all music related.

1. Do you think of the idea in general?
2. Do you think having titles related to anything music (artists names, album & song titles and lyrics) or just song titles is better?

Cheers,
Pa.

I added it to music forum as I wanted people who are 'into music's opinions.

What can I say?

Music related titles does not make it an alt/indie topic.

If I released an album called Canon 7D I wouldn't expect mods to allow me to start a thread about it in the Photography forum.

(It's no biggie but...)

In my eyes it's related to both photography and music.
In the photography forum I'll get opinions from photographers who mightn't know the musical references.

In the music (alt/indie as that's the main kind of music I like and therefore the majority of titles would be alt/indie. There's no general music forum) I'll get opinions from people who like music. From them I'd get an opinion if there's an appeal/attraction in seeing pictures that have a musical reference. From the photography forum I wouldn't get the same insight (I think).

You don't like me, do you?

And yes, of course I want pageviews, but I'm not trying to gain them through views from this thread. If I manage to create musical related titles for all my photos I think that:

• it distinguishes my site from the X amount of photo websites out there
• my site might get viewed by a wider audience
• I might even sell one or two more photos
• I love music so I enjoy trying to think of a musical title. So I get pleasure from that

I wouldn't say I don't like you. Although I do find your repeated requests for assistance regarding things barely related to photography and on the same basic topic over and over again irritating.

Let me make this clear: nobody cares about your website. The only reason people would begin to care about your website is if your photography is so good that it's worth caring about. You can spam the music forum with links to your site and ask questions about basic Wordpress use in the photography forum, but neither of those activities is likely to lead to you building an audience. The thing you need to put work into is making your photography better than the vast majority of other photography on the internet. The website is a bucket that carries your images to their audience. You can get a shinier bucket, but nobody is really going to care unless they think its contents are better than the contents of any other of the millions of buckets they have access to.

By the way, you asked how to promote your photoblog over two years ago and I gave you the same answer I'm giving you here.

whats wrong with wanting page views??

thats why we try to capture every single damn detail with our cameras...becaus we want other people to see the world as we see it.
otherwise we would just enjoy the moment and keep that picture in our heads


I love your Idea!

As I am a big fan of music... and everytime someone says a line or a couple of words which occur in a songtext... i can't help myself from singing that song...

and there s so much poetrie, truth and sometimes wise knowledge in theses songs.... that its good to connect these words with your views

but: you have to be careful not to carry it to its extremes.... use these song titles careful and only where it is wort it... just my opinion of course

Well, even with myself - I often get inspiration from songs, and will name them after the line that inspires me, or the title.
