Today I want to show y'all how to optimize a Flickr account. I'll simply show you how to apply basic SEO Techniques to your Flickr account.
First and foremost, Flickr is a Photo account provided by Yahoo! that allows you to create your own photo galleries and sets. So remember, to use this technique, you must have pictures.
Now, when you create a Flickr account, you are given a profile page with your own url within the flickr domain. In other words, Flickr is giving you a page to optimize anyway you please within their website.
So here we go.
When you first start a profile, you are given the option to choose a username. Pick one with your targeted keywords in the the name, for this will be your unique part of your url address.
For example; If you want to rank high for the term 'san diego law firm', pick a username like sandiegolawyer007, this will turn out to look like this; http://www.flickr.com/people/sandiegolawyer007.
So now we have a optimized url.
Next, when it's time to pick a screen name, pick one that is similar to your key phrase. Use one to 3 words relating to your targeted keywords within your sreen name. This is important because this will be your title tag.
When you edit your profile first and last name, whatever you put here will show up right next to your Screen name. (Latent/Relevant content chance)

This is your chance to make a keyword rich page full of content relevant to your targeted keyword.
Flickr says "some html ok", so it's ok to give yourself a bold, italicized keyword anchor text link with keyword-rich surrounding content pointing back to your webpage relevant to your new Flickr profile.
But keep in mind, they do give you a chance to add you "Online bits" so you can add your website later if you don't want within the content.
Later down the page they have the "things you like", these sections allow some html also, so you could add more content if desired. I like to look at these pages like equivalents to my sub-pages and add deep links pointing to co-ordinating pages.
Just keep in mind that every box that is editable is SEOable.
