Addenda: The posts I am talking about are mostly story posts, with either short relevant stories or extracts from eBooks that I market. If you are thinking of posting a photo with a list of keywords, I doubt if that would work for three reasons:

1. Google is good at spotting keyword lists, so will probably ignore them.
2. A lot of groups strip the words and just publish the photo.
3. Most newsgroup harvesting sites publish text posts in the public area (where SE spiders can see them) but hide photo posts behind a members only barrier that you have to pay for (which also excludes SE spiders).

So if you want to try this you are going to have to hone up on your writing skills!
