Panoramio.com is a site which provided simple mapping of photos on Google Earth. Google eventually bought the company and now displays those photos to Google Earth users, as well as Google Maps and to people performing an image search by keyword on Google.
The new Stats function on Panoramio shows 198,000 views for this photo via Google (Earth, Maps, search). Apparently my 400 photos there, roughly 280 of them mapped on Google Earth, have had 4.9 million views in total! No wonder I get contacted by people saying “I saw your photos on Panoramio, and…”
Just add “/stats” after the URL of any photo or user URL on Panoramio to see some usage details. If it’s your own account, you also see the most common referring URLs, so you can see how people are finding your photos.
It turns out that my photos there have 157,129 views in the last 30 days. Some fraction of those viewers want a print or to join me on a field workshop.
Give the site a try to introduce your own photos to new fans. I always recommend uploading only low resolution copies of your files to minimize the possibility of theft, and of course only upload photos which you’re willing to disclose the location for, since you’ll be placing them by shooting position on a Google Earth map.
