#4. Properly Tag and Organize Your Photos (source : http://www.jeffbullas.com/2012/08/06/5-tips-to-increase-your-visibility-on-flickr/)
“A surprisingly common mistake people make is in tagging and grouping their photos. These little details make it harder for images to come up in a search, and so limit exposure, even when placed in plenty of groups. You have to make sure you are putting precise, obvious tags in each photo when you first upload them.
As for organization, it helps to put your work into collections. This is done on your profile page. You can take sets and put them together, or just group them based on common themes, formats or any other element you might like. You see this a lot with people who make series that are meant to go together.” (source : http://www.jeffbullas.com/2012/08/06/5-tips-to-increase-your-visibility-on-flickr/)

How do we proceed ? (source : http://splatphoto.com/flickr-tagging-tips/) “One key to having photos be found easily is effective use of tags. Here are some tips for better tagging:
 This one is almost too obvious, but always tag. Add some keywords so that folks will find your photos!
 Add some “concept” tags. Think of the emotions, feelings, activities, or general concepts that might apply to a photo. Does the photo depict happiness, reading, or the idea of busy? Add those as tags.
 Be consistent with plurality: Choose car or cars. Choose airplane or airplanes. Choose flower or flowers. Pick one method and stick with it, rather than some of each. Or better yet: use both.

 Understand spaces: You have two choices to deal with spaces in tags. Either surround the tag with quotes like this: “new york” or simply remove the space and use newyork. If you simply type new york into a Flickr tag box, you’ll end up with two separate tags: new, and york.
