    Hi
    i was just wondering if images can be optimized for search engines?
    other than using a keyword as the image/file title?(assuming that helps)
    Thanks in adv


    oh also does a non clickable url just text like eSpenders.com help any?
    (a url that is not active no a href tag just plain text)

    I think in optimization we manage file name and Alt text (as u told) . not any thing written in image .... SE treat it as image only.

    but you can optimize PDFs

    In images, use alt declaration in each image or object you have embedded in your site. Crawlers just crawl texts. :D

    thanks for clarifying that was just curious!

    Yes, using the file name as one of the keywords for the picture and alt tags.

    I understand that was just wondering about the actual file not the image/photo it self but the file and all the extras in the file like comments dates info etc was wondering if that has any use!
