Today I had some URL changes completed to my site. I had to outsource the work because I couldn't even think about doing it myself! URL of images on my site now look like this: http://www.freestockimages.net/sad-puppy-face-brown-dog-a45.html Before it just had a load of code instead of 'sad-puppy-face-brown-dog-a45.html'. I know this benefit the site a bit but do you think it will enable me to eventually get every photo no1 in google for their titles?
Google's image caching policy is a bit different. Do you have relevant words right after image? Do your images have good quality? Check this out from google faq: How does image search work? Google analyzes the text on the page adjacent to the image, the image caption and dozens of other factors to determine the image content. Google also uses sophisticated algorithms to remove duplicates and ensure that the highest quality images are presented first in your results.
I checked out Googles FAQs and found the question you mentioned. If you check the page out I mentioned at the thread start you can see the photo sits at the top with a table for downloading the picture next to it. Then it has the photographer details :: then the image keywords :: and finally the image description. Do you reckon it would be better to rearrange the content so the description is first, keywords second and photographer details last? Photo title instantly goes as the page title in the meta-tags with the description the one on the page and the keywords the same so I think Ive got that covered - just the page layout.
