Your blog has pictures -- BUT WHERE IS THE TITLE AND DESCRIPTION? You need them for Google Juice.
I see your nice blog with the pretty pictures. But when I scroll over the pictures there is no pop up showing a title and description. People have no clue about the picture. Where was it taken? What is it a picture of specifically? Go ahead, scroll over the picture below and see that there is no pop up title and description.
I am no SEO expert. But one of the many things that I have learned here in Active Rain is that content is KING. Pictures and videos get noticed by the search engines. Pictures and videos with a title and description get noticed more than plain text. If you are posting a picture of a local home, add a description. Bring traffic to your post. Now scroll over the picture below and see the title and description.
If your picture is of a local scene, put the city, state, neighborhood, put SOMETHING, in the title and description. If you have a reader looking at your post not knowing exactly where the picture was taken, let them know with a title and description.
If you have multiple pictures of the same house, you could use the same description. If you have a variety of pictures, use a different title and description for each one.
You should be writing local posts. Write about local events and businesses. The more you write locally, the more you look like the local expert.
If this post got you thinking about your previous posts, you can go back and edit one or two and add the title and description.
