Have you stopped and considered SEO and Your Images?
One of the most important things about writing for the web is to remember to write for the viewer and not just for the search engine. It is critical to have a visually appealing site or your viewer will leave and probably never return.If you only use text, your page is not going to be very interesting so you should add pictures and/or images.
But search engines are not able to interpret your images. In a sense the search engine is just like a non-visual human browsing the web.
You may have heard of the term "Alt" used to give accessibility to the visually impaired. It stands for alternative and is text used to describe the image. If you do a good job describing the image you will allow the search engine to understand the image and it will increase the value of the page.
Some basic things to remember when you write your "alt tags" are:
- Keep it simple,
- Keep details relevant to the image and to the page,
- Don't make it too long,
- Don't forget to write for both the viewer and the search engine,
- Don't try to fool the search engine by loading with keywords.
If you remember to take care in selecting, naming and describing your images you will have a much better site. Both the viewers and the search engines will appreciate your efforts.
