Advanced SEO Tips For Images

We have already discussed few SEO Tips for beginners,here I am with one more article on SEO, Advanced SEO Tips for Images. Optimizing images is very important for every Blogger/Webmaster because 20% of the daily searches are images.This shows how important it is to Optimize your images before publishing an article.

Advanced SEO Tips for Images:

We use images and pictures to describe an article well.In fact using right pictures and images is a good practise.

There are some important measures that a Blogger should take into consideration before uploading a image.

1.Give proper name to your images:

I see most of them give image name as image1,image2 etc or 1,2,3 so on.But this is not the right way to optimize your images for better Search Engine Ranking.

You can see how the url of the image looks like.For example if you are explaining a post on Tiger and you will name it as image25.After uploading see the below link how your url looks like.

Now image25 and Tiger are no where similar and you dont get any result for this on Search Engines.

So you have to name your picture as Tiger instead of image25 for better Search Engine Optimization.See how the url looks like after you replace the name with Tiger.

2.Avoid Giving Spaces for images and pictures:

For example if you are writing a post on Making Money Online and you want to show a image that resembles Making Money Online.

Now you will give name as Making Money Online.But it is recommended to avoid spaces because these spaces are generally replaced by %20 and doest has any value when it comes to SEO.So, it is better to replace space with '-' or '+'.
Instead of Making Money Online name it as Make+Money+Online or Make-Money-Online.
3.Add alt and title Tag for images:
As discussed in my previous articles you have to give one alt and one title tag for images.

After you upload a image to Blogger then go to HTML and Add A Alt and Title tag as follows.

When you upload an image then HTML code looks like the following

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SoxppeH7x0/TNbfFpWlWFI/ AAAAAAAAAj4/tzl_ZYIuES4/s1600/ATBSlider.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SoxppeH7x0/TNbfFpWlWFI/ AAAAAAAAAj4/tzl_ZYIuES4/s200/ATBSlider.png" width="200" /></a>
