<p>Thanks for your info though I manage my site, I did not develop it and am not a developer. So ease of management is also critical. I want to spend time taking and editing photos and not excess time managing the site. Do you folks have sites and what do you do with your older images?</p>

<p>Yea, the images that appear in a Google search are currently linked to my website. So what happens to those images which will still be in the Google Search but no longer found on my site? I am sure I am not the only one with the question. Just don't know the answer yet. I have a Flickr account but don't really use it because I tend to use 500px. Hopefully more folks will chime in with their answers.</p>

 

<p>I am an avid amateur photographer. I have and website, a blog. I am on Facebook, Google+, 500px. I subscribe to Kelbytraining and Photo.net. I, mostly, sell my work locally. Recently I got an email from someone who had seen one of my photos in Google/Images. He wanted to purchase the rights for a website. Awesome. The power of the web.<br>

However, this is not my question. I have read that to maintain your website you should present maybe 20 or so of your best works per section and cull the ones that are not as high a quality. This makes sense.<br>

But my question is this, when culling your images, what do you do with your other images? How do you archive them? As an example, the image the person wanted for his website would probably be one that I might cull in the future. If I remove the image from my website, then the link from search engine will be broken. In this case, no sale.<br>

So what do other photographers do with the images that no longer appear on their website, yet they still want others to have exposure to? I have not read or seen any information on this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p><div>[ATTACH=full]729089[/ATTACH]</div>
