I added a gallery to my random Google Street View site a few months ago, to showcase the more interesting images found by users.
http://www.mapcrunch.com/gallery
This section of the site however doesn't seem to get many visits (around 10% of users visiting the main site), and those that do visit tend not to go beyond the first page of the gallery (again, around 10%).
Any feedback on how I might be able to improve the site would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Here are some ideas to improve engagement on the gallery:
- Comments section under each photo
- Page numbers on top of the page, not just on the bottom
- "See more:" text next to the navigation on the bottom
Good luck!
