Do you have a blog? Do you spend hours on creating great
contents? Is your blog performing well in the search result? Well congrats! Do
you know that you could actually make more out of it with just a few more techniques?
Ever heard about image optimization or photo optimization? You know that images
are good and they do have an effect on the visitor’s mind, but you can also
make an impact from a seo stand point of view by using images on your blog,
curious to know about this trick? Great!
Name it right- You may have beautiful & creative images
in your blog, but it hardly matters to the search engine boats, remember that
they don’t have any idea about the image unless you put a name on it(“1276.jpg”
would not work here!). Say if it’s about a design template image then you can
name it “web design template” & then the boats would recognize this jpeg
property which relates to web design templates.
Alt attributes- This is another provision to tell search
engines about the content of the image, alt attributes play as important role
as the title of the image &
without an alt attribute, search engines
may find It difficult to interpret the image. If you have an wordpress blog,
then it’s easier to add alt attribute to the image, upload your image with add
image function & add the alt text in the “alternative text “ field .
Keywords- Keywords play the vital role in SEO, and seo is
all about common sense, think about what type of keywords would be applicable
for your image? If it’s about an washing machine & your blog is about
buying washing machines, then the image should contain “buy washing machine” …simple
isn’t it ?
If your images are well optimized, then those images are
bound to appear in the image search result, and there will be the address of
your blog from which the image has been fetched…power of images!
