Using Images For Optimizing Your Site
Did you know that you could actually also use the images in your site to help boost your site’s rankings? Not all people do know about this one. They think that content is the main important part when optimizing a web site. But that is not true. Each image that you use in your site could also be used to your site’s advantage.
Now I must have gotten your attention already. So you’re asking me now just how to go about with that. Well, it is fairly simple. With a little tweaking on the HTML, you could go a long way.
First off, before you upload your image, make sure that it is properly named. You can put in the relevant keywords as the name of the image. Then you could upload it. Those sites which host images take the name of the image and use it as part of the permalink of the image.
Then, when you are using the image already on the site, make sure that you describe it with tags. How do you go about that? Just add alt=”description” in the code for your image. Well, here is an example:
<img src=”http://www.searchengineherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/scraper-sites.JPG” alt=”scraper site sample”>
