Help your Google rankings with Image Search
I have been reading through a lot of blogs lately and many people are saying that you can increase your website's rankings by ensuring that you have properly "prepping” your images to be indexed in Google Image. It makes sense; because I know for myself that I have used Google Image Search many times, looking for just the right background for my desktop, or a picture to go with an article, a funny picture with a joke to a relative, etc. I have also found that I have gotten something of value from the website that I visited only looking for that specific picture, but end up getting something else I was not really looking for at the time too. There are just a few basic steps you can take to ensure that those spiders see your images, and help drive the traffic to you. The File Name: Use your keywords for your page in the filename of the image
Image Alt Tags: Use keywords here as well, including a short description
Image Title Tags :Same here as well, a keyword rich title
Size of the Image: Use large images where possible. For some reason, this is a factor.
Text around the image: It is best to “wrap” your text around the image, and also be sure to include a keyword or two if possible by the image, like a brief description of the image for example.
How old the image and site is: The newer, or “fresher” the better. Keep your sites and images updated at least once a month, but weekly would be better. By following these basic and simple practices, you will notice over time an increase of traffic flowing to your images, and also to the rest of your site. Keep those Spiders happy, and you will be too!!
