Would this be considered "thin content?"

[NoahsDad]

I share a lot of images via twitter and over the last year I've used several different tools to do this; mainly twitpic, and now instagram. Last year I wanted to try to find a way to host those images on my site so I could get the viewers of the picture back to my site instead a 3rd party (twitpic, etc.)

I found a few plugins that worked "sort of" well, and so I used that for a while. (I have since stopped doing that in favor of using instagram.)

But my question is do all of these image posts hurt my site you think? I had all of these images under a category called "twitter" but have since moved them to an uncategorized category until I figure out what I want to do with them.

I wanted to see if anyone could chime in and give me some advice. Since the posts are just images with no content (other than the image) and the title isn't really "optimized" for anything do these posts do me more harm than good. Do I delete them all? Leave them as is? Or do something else?

Also in hindsight I'm assuming this was a bad idea since the bounce rate for people clicking on a link just to see an image was probably very high, and may have caused the opposite result of what I was looking for.

If I knew than what I know now I would have tracked the bounce rate of those links, how many people who viewed one of those images actually went to another page on the site, etc. But hindsight's 20/20.

Hey Noah

They are probably not doing you any harm but seeing as it's WordPress you could easily just noindex this whole category or all of these pages with the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin.

As ever, make the change, measure the results, and move forwards!

This is not really thin content though, the pictures are the content, they are unlikely to rank but I would be highly surprised if they did you any harm.

I just reviewed the rest of your site and they are perfectly in context so seriously, unless you have some kind of issues then I would not worry about this.

Hope it helps.

Ok, thanks. I was reading an article by Google about how pages with thin content can actually hurt your site (even if the rest of your site has good content.) The article said if you have thin pages with little or no content on your site, that can cause harm to the entire site.

You don't hink this would apply in this situation?  Thanks for the feedback by the way, I'm learning.

Thanks!

Nope, I don't think it is applicable, the content is the picture, that is the content, so that is not thin content and they are duplicated or similar to other pages on the site. It may be worth making sure you have all your taxonomies sorted and are not showing the same pages in various locations but beyond that, you are good to go (I can show you how to do that in like 5 minutes if it helps).
