Po ... How to optimize Images and Increase Blog Traffic 7 comments This tutorial will explain you how to optimize images before uploading them on your blog. Generally, most of people don't optimize images before uploading it to Blogger as needed. Optimizing images should be done if you want to improve the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or your blog or site. Learning the correct and proper way of optimizing images in blogger is very important as well. Google Image search is used widely for finding quality reference images, icons or photos. A great percentage of our blog traffic depends on Image search. When we are downloading images, most of the time they are saved with odd names and we don't take any interest in modifying the name. So we should always consider two things when uploading images on our blog - the proper use of thealttag and changing the name of our images or pictures with the proper keyword. 1. Change Image Name with Keyword When we are downloading images from the internet, generally they are saved in local drive with some very odd names likeuntitled.png,img.pngetc. So changing these names with appropriate keywords is always helpful. For instance, if I want to addimgoruntitledin this post, then I would definitely change these name with those words - or keywords - that would describe the best my content; thus, if I want to add an image to a post about seo topics, then I would name it something likeSEO.pngoroptimize-image.pngso that it would be relevant to the post content. 2. Use alt attributeSearch robots cannot read multimedia, be it graphic images or flash. An image is meaningless for search spiders if it is not defined (tagged). Therefore, in order to tell the search robots what the image is about, we can add an alt tag to our image code - when we upload a photo inside the post editor, click on the image and below it, click on thePropertieslink: After clicking on thePropertieslink, theImage propertiesbox will popup. Inside theTitle textsection, type a relevant title for your image and below, and in theAlt textsection, type a short description of your image... then press OK. It is recommended to write short sentences to describe your pics and to keep the description limited to 4-5 words. Less is better. Also, make sure you don't use the same words, try to mix up your image keywords. These are simple tips for SEO image optimization which are not only effective for your SEO but can also boost your traffic.
