i've got some old web sites with tons of photos. from the stats 80% of the referrals come from Google Images. and perform well in some keywords. actually they have filenames like "DSC5637843.jgp" under every image there is a one line caption, not always pertinent to the subject. yet, they're all indexed by G images and performing more than OK, despite there are NO alt-tags, no meaningful filenames, and not even pertinent captions. besides, i don't know if it's worth, but how could i write 1000s of alt-tags one by one ? is there a way to automate it ?
Use meta tags with your keyword - Ex: - suppose ur keyword is Weightloss ALT would be "Weight_Loss_DSC1" tell me what happens.
put your keyword in the alt attribute. name the image with the keyword of your choice. support such image with keyword-rich contents & well-optimized onpage and offpage web page/s.
thanks. i'm already batch-renaming the images but how can i add alt-tags to 900 images if every image relates to different keywords ? that's the problem ! i now use different CMSes so that's almost automated but those old sites were static and editing manually 900 alt-tags is absolutely unworthy. do you know any tools for that ?
