I'm planning to start a new website which will consists of mainly photos; very little text contents.
My question is : What should I do to get it indexed on google?
As Coach said below, you will need to shift your expectations for the purposes of a blog that is related to images and photographs.
I would think that you might even be hoping for your photos to show up in the Google image search for keywords.
In the world of images, Quality counts. So does an detailed accurate description of what is in the photograph with "low hanging fruit" keywords.
For example, don't try to rank for chicken or brown chicken. Try to be more detailed as brown silkie chicken.
I just did a test google search the term Silkie Chicken and then on silkie chicken eggs. On the egg search, there is so little quality competition that ebay listings with photos of Silkie chicken eggs showed up.
The post that I randomly choose to look at from first page had lots of cute pictures of silkie chickens and some content but the focus was on the photo.)
Good luck!
It is possible. Once you upload the image you should be able to write a description and title of that image in a form connected to that image on wp. It's not visible to anybody that sees the image, but google sees it and ranks accordingly.
Thank you Rosemary. Just have a look at my reply to our friend "Memorylaneuk" below. Would like to know what you think.
If it has a good Keyword title and an opening explanatory paragraph with Keyword in it and a closing paragraph too then you should be okay.
You will need to make sure your images have titles and alt text attached too. Using good keywords in these will also help.
With Grace and Gratitude

Thank you Karen. But the description can be around 100 words or less. Won't be able to write 500-1500 words. So I guess this will be a great disadvantage for google ranking.
It will only be a disadvantage if the keywords aren't effective. It's not so much about the quantity, but the quality, so choose your words wisely. Remember Google doesn't read the whole content, it just scans it looking for certain keywords.
Only photo's will bring you nowhere. It is the keywords in the text (article title) that will get you ranked.
Although that's not an ideal way to do with a website, but I've seen websites in Google doing just that. No text but just photos. They call it "photo blog".

Hi Usiba,
I had a couple of posts with mainly images and they got indexed much quicker than ones where text was predominant. Now, I use images whenever I can.
I hope this was helpful

Oh yes my dear friend, very helpful.

promo. I was thinking of upgrading my free Jaaxy account so that I can take advantage of the low price.
Thanking you in advance for your prompt reply.
Do it today...September 4th is the date!!
I am in Australia so it is already afternoon here...if your in the USA...you still got a few hours =)
Good luck

Thank you Michael. Just Upgraded Now and got a good surprise to see that USD has fallen. So I'm paying less when converted to my currency.
The deadline I believe is 4 September (I'm assuming Canadian time).
I checked while writing this reply and the current time in British Columbia is 9.59pm, PDT (pacific daylight time), 3 September.
Give it a try NOW and if they ask you for $49 - yikes - you'll know you were too late. ~Jude
OK, thank you Judy. I guess Dubai is ahead of time. It must be around 4 a.m in Canada now. Isn't it?
Nope, at this time as I reply to you it's
10:26 pm
Sunday, 3 September 2017 (GMT-7)
Time in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Tip: a quick way to find the local time anywhere:
type into google search 'what time is it in (location) and the first result always shows the current time and date in that location. ~Jude
I upgraded to pro Jaaxy today. Tomorrow is the deadline. You might want to go ahead And upgrade Now if you going to anyway.
The article says:
So if you are interested in getting Jaaxy at the lowest price ever, I recommend that you take action before next Monday, September 4th at NOON PST. The price is going up!
Hi Ushiba...I think that at 12:00 p.m. on the 3rd of September will be your last opportunity. Since I don't where you live, I can's give you a time frame. But at 12:01 a.m., September 4, 2017 it will be too late.
Did that help any, or are you like me...more confused!?!?!?
Upgrade NOW...before it's too late!!!
T
(LOL)
Yes...lots of time, but do it now!!! Don't let the day of the 3rd go by, it will be too late..do it NOW, then I won't be worried about you!!
T
Thank you Tammi, for worrying about me. You are so sweet.
Note: It's Sept 4 here.
OK, I'll upgrade now. Thx.
Probably 2400 hrs. PDT Victoria BC Usiba although labour day in Canada same as labor day in the us makes it a bank closure day. It may be it will be extended to 2400 hrs. on the 5th. That makes a good stress of urgency on the part of WA as a good marketing tactic!

200. Is that normal?
Can you please check your icon and see if it's the same for you. It is on the top right of your screen, where you have your porfile picture.
Thanks.<
Thanks - I didn't even realize that's what that meant on the airplane icon (sales to the Vegas Incentive).
It has been dropped down because of the Vegas incentive to help the newer members accomplish a chance of going as well:)
Kyle released a new message this morning that it has been reduced to 100 to go to vegas. Vegas Incentive 2017, Challenge Renewed 100 Sales!
Yep..it's the new incentive. Kyle's latest blog explains it all.
Vegas Incentive 2017, Challenge Renewed 100 Sales!
Good luck!
Debbie
mine is down to 100-apparently the number of premium members needed between now until dec31st

I just wrote a unique blog on it. However to my great surprise, the system told me that my blog is not unique. I have not copied anything, I have written it on my own.

I have never heard of the Blue Whale Challenge and I am really sorry you told me about it. It is really sick, sick, sick. Probably watched by people who have suicidal tendencies anyway. I don't have any children but I would surely be very sure they were not watching anything like this.
I wish there is a control in the game. So that those who play the game can have the decency to stop when there is a challenge.
We don't have kids at home, but we do have grandchildren in other parts of the country. Thanks for the warning about this thing. I'll be sure to pass it on to our kids to beware.
This is absolutely terrifying... I hope this issue gets taken care of soon before any more unfortunate cases happen.
I do not know a lot about it. In fact only what I have read as I have not tried it in anyway. Thanks for posting.
So beware of it because it is seriously a dangerous game, else the local authorities would not have sent us an official communique.
Me too was not aware of it until now.
