Use of Image

Free SEO Tips

Images are very important from the point of view of search engines. Many people do not like using images in their posts and think it will look, I don't know, maybe "baby-ish" or"girl-ish". Well to the contrary people are always attracted by images and the better the images, the more attention it will grab. Another very important concept of using images are the alt-image tags. Again a majority of people do not use these tags but these are really important. It add keywords to the pages but does not contribute to keyword stuffing. So always use alt-image tags.

Using alt tags in Wordpress is very easy but with Blogger it is a little difficult. Why do we use alt tags for images?

Well, the most simple answer to this.....for the Search Engine Optimization!! I know this a very stupid answer to an equally stupid question because whatever we are doing in this blog is to get better positions in search engine results. We all know that our pages are indexed when the search engine bots crawl our pages, they can read only texts, so they do not understand what the image is about and generally skip it. Thus goes our chance to score well in the results page. 

Steps for adding alt tags to images in Blogger:

1. Upload an image in the normal way.

2. Go to the Edit HTML option of the composer.

3. Find the link for the image in the post. For example the link of this image in this post is

<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EBviYVsT1Ow/TnIEaraQDfI/AAAAAAAAAEU/ELEr-RnbFXM/s320/97378-Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-3d-Word-Collage-Of-Search-SEO-Words.jpg"/>

4. All you need to do now is type "alt=keyword" without the quotes and replacing keyword with your own.

5. Now after the post is published move your mouse over the image and you'll be able to see your alt tag!

It's that easy I know, but sometimes its the easiest things that we forget to do! So add alt-tags for better Search Engine Optimization!
