Flickr is a great way to keep your website photo gallery current as well as a bevy of other social marketing benefits:

• Search engine optimization. Tag your images with keywords and fill in your profile with your website or blog address.
• Share images. People want to see what they’re getting, and you want them to see (and get) you.
• Provide free images. You can find free images (for use on your blog or other marketing) under Creative Commons by Attribution license.
• Promotions. You can hold photo or image contests, and use the system to collect submissions.
• Drive traffic to your site. When people search for images, your images will come up on Google, Yahoo, and other search platforms.

Recently, a number of friends and clients have asked how they can embed their Flickr photo sets on their website or blog. Following is a handful of tools to help you get a slideshow on your website or blog:

• www.flickrslidr.com
• www.widgetbox.com/widget/flickr-slideshow-pricew
• www.flickrslideshow.com
• www.flickr-gallery.com

And here’s how you can embed the slideshow directly from Flickr.

Please share any additional suggestions in the comments below. We’d love to know about more options!
