How to market Image hosting site

[techkid]

Hello

I am having an image hosting site, I do have an adsense on it. I would like to know how can I market that site? I am looking for an adsense safe way to do that.

First thing is do not use any kind of pop-up to show your ads, they are annoying nor even force users to click on them. Adsense will ban you.

For marketing you can search for good forums where people are often posting images or say on some forums if they allow images in offtopic section you can join them.

Become good poster or active member, post some images from you site and also help/provide guidelines to other users if they facing any problem using your site.

You can get many review sites where people write reviews with an image about product or software. You can use your image hosting site for that so you can get traffic to your site.

These sites are very easy to get traffic. I see image host's that are a couple months old ranking in the top 100K. Just post frequently on large forums. Best to have a water mark of your URL on the pictures hosted.
They make very good money on Adsense also. You MUST check images daily to make sure no adult images are uploaded or you'll get band from Google Adsense. Good Luck with your new site.

A long shot but do you know of any tools available that could help keep adult images out of image hosts?

Thanks!

No, I wish I did. Then I wouldn't mind having an image hosting site. But when they get big and have 100's to 1,000's of images uploaded daily, that takes alot of time to search through for adult images.

All you could do is have it in your TOS you don't allow them at all and it's a banning offense but finding them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. You'd be relying on others reporting them.

Of course, you could use adult words to search your site and find them that way too, assuming they'd be labeled or tagged as such so others could. Maybe there's some way to channel any pics tagged with adult terms into a moderation queue perhaps?

I have tried admin image approval thing but its very boring work then I have removed it , is there any other way to remove adult image from image hosting site?

put links to your site in your forum signature. join up to photography websites, and amateur photograpy forums, and make a lot of posts on their, so that your signature is visible

The best way to market is search engines. They simply love images. You can also try to create organic traffic by creating more and more back links..
Image sites do receive good traffic from forums and other available platforms.. You are sitting on a gold mine.. You have to be careful about adsense TOS
