Hey Friends, Is there anyone who suggest me the best & easy ways for Optimizing the images in Google Image Search... And also give me the advantages of image optimization..... I'm waiting for your reply.... please Help me.... Thanks! (in advanced)
5 tips to make sure you're optimizing your sites images for the search engines. 1. Robots.txt file: Ensure that the folder you are storing your images in is not blocked by your robots.txt file. Prior to the rise in popularity of image search, it was common practice to block the folder images were stored in. Helpful hint: Store your navigational and "structural" type graphics in one folder, and block that from the spiders, store the pictures of products, events, or news related images in another folder and open that one to the spiders. 2. Image File Names: Name your images in a way that describes what they are. Don't get carried away though. If it's a picture of a purple widget, name it purple-widget.jpg, rather than leaving it whatever your camera or photo editing software wants to name it. Helpful Hint: Use dashes between the words, rather than underscores. 3. Use the Alt Attribute of the IMG tag: Make sure you are using the "alt" attribute of the image tag. Again, like the image name, don't over do it, but ensure that it describes the image you are trying to present to the user. The attribute should describe the image in a short "to the point" way that reads naturally to the viewer. Helpful Hint: Utilizing the alt attribute also helps visitors who do not run with images on, as well as visitors with disabilities that utilize screen readers to understand what the web page is about. 4. Use a Caption By Your Image: Placing a small caption directly under, on top or on the side of your image will help queue the search engines what the image is about. Helpful Hint: With a caption, you can be a little more descriptive about the picture than with the alt attribute, but again, make it flow natural. 5. Include Images With Articles, & Press Releases: If you are sending out an article or a press release, don't forget to include an image, or a url to an image that the news outlets can utilized for their version of your news. By supplying the link to the image, it can encourage them to link to the image itself straight from your own website. Helpful Hint: Adding images to articles and press releases makes them more appealing to the reader.
I'd like to add the following points: 1. Insert keywords into your Alt Text. 2. Name your Images with Descriptive Titles. 3. Use relevant text around your images. 4. Use Adsense to assess overall content relevance. 5. Optimize Your Title and Meta tags 6. Use anchor text keywords in links to images. 7. Use Internal and Social Site Tags for your Images 8. Make Your Image folder accessible to search engines 9.Re-upload your pictures to maintain search freshness 10.Use Javascript to prevent framing of your webpages Note: Every standards-compliant, Google-sensitive image reference should contain 5 key items: 1. A src attribute specifying the URL of the image 2. A width declaration in which the width of the image is specified in pixels 3. A height declaration in which the height of the image is specified in pixels 4. An alt attribute that describes the content of the image—this is the #1 element of image-oriented SEO 5. A title attribute that contains text to be displayed when the user hovers his/her mouse over the image Sample Code:
