Image Submission Sites vs Social Media: What Works Better?
Both image submission sites and social media platforms help share visual content—but for SEO, image directories often perform better.
Sites like Imgur and 500px allow backlinks in descriptions, which contribute directly to your SEO. In contrast, platforms like Instagram or Facebook are nofollow and don’t boost rankings.
Use both channels together—submit to image sites for SEO value and post on social for audience engagement. A balanced approach ensures reach and authority.
