Here’s what it’s all about…

It’s vitally important that you make sure to correctly optimize your website’s images for Image Search. You need to optimize every graphic on your site in so you get found by people looking through the Google and Yahoo image directories. Here are the three steps you need to take to get maximum benefit from every image on your website.

Step 1 – Whenever you name images for your website or blog, make sure you use a keyword that closely relates to what the image is actually about. Then always add a keyword-rich Alt tag to each graphic to double it’s chances of getting found. Then whenever possible, add as many keyword optimized Graphics to your site’s pages as you can to bring in organic search traffic from Google and Yahoo Images.

For example, an image of a sandy Beach in Puerto Rico might be called puerto-rico-beach.jpg, and your Alt tag might say Puerto Rico Beach. Make sure you don’t try to fool the Search Engines by calling an image something that it’s not; you might be penalized for it.

Step 2 – Ensure the pages containing your Images are optimized correctly for identical or very similar keywords. This will help to keep your site congruent in the eyes of Google and Yahoo, and will increase your search rankings. For example, the file name you use for a page containing an image you’ve called Puerto Rico Beach would be called puerto-rico-beach.html or something close to that. It should at least have Puerto Rico in the file name, the Title Tag and Description if possible.

Once you have started optimizing your images correctly, keep adding more content and optimized Graphics to your website, and your organic search engine traffic will continue to grow. This technique is so effective because most people don’t understand it’s importance, or don’t know exactly what to do. if you optimize your images, you will have a clear advantage over other websites in your market, and your traffic should receive a significant boost.

Step 3 – This is important. Do NOT name images of Guarantees, Order Buttons or other ancillary Graphics by what they are – use numbers instead. Google in particular looks at the total number of images on your page and decides how relevant each image is to the content. If you have 4 images, with 2 of them related to a beach in Puerto Rico, and 2 that are called order.jpg and guarantee.jpg, your page’s images will only be 50% relevant to the rest of the page content. Having all of your images relevant is very important, so this is bad.

If your Order and Guarantee images are called numbers such as 0098.jpg and 0099.jpg, Google will disregard them, and your page images will be seen as 100% relevant, giving you additional Kudos from the Search Engines, and potentially increasing your rankings, traffic and profits.
