As we saw in our previous tests, infographic sites are a disaster.
It occurred to us that you can submit infographics to photo-sharing sites.
We decided to give these types of sites ago to see if we could get better results.
Do they give good results or should they also be booted out?

We have our handy dandy infographic and decided to give it a go to what we considered photo sharing sites.
To be honest with you, this might be the latest and greatest infographic site. But, I’ve got your Flickr, imgur, deviantart, photobucket, shutterfly, 4shared, etc. I was able to post to all of these except for photo.net.
If you are doing this for link building purposes, to build tiers, that is the only one that I would really avoid.
Not too many ended up indexing – the deviantart did, the efello which I never heard of before but it is a Canadian site, and ello.co, those all got in and you can see the results actually got multiple things. The deviantart, efello, and ello, that is what the pages look like. They are getting a lot of things in there.
If you are in the business of using this for tiered link building, these photo sharing sites are certainly the way to go.
I would put the deviantart, and those other two that cached at the top of my list because you are going to get them into the serps and if you feel that is a good signal for driving links through, then there you go, but the rest of them all, I was able to create those pages on.
If this is something that you are looking into doing for both of the reasons that I talked about on the infographics one, whether you are trying to spam or not spam, link to if you will, or if you are trying to get something to go viral and you just kind of want to jumpstart that, this is the direction that I would go and these are the ones that I might use especially the three that show the most promise.
I did the same check on the images and the deviantart one is the only one that got the image into an image search.
The rest were everything but the image keep that in mind if getting into an image search is important to you, the deviantart is your best bet of those.
I guess there was something in the efello, probably the sidebar and somehow the fake keyword got associated with all these other images of things that people have posted.
That could be a good way to spam your competitors if image art or images are a good thing for you or something you might want to do, you could flood your competitors’ keywords or images here and associate them with other things.
