Do images leave backlinks. Its a good way to disguise a backlink and make it not look like spam. That way you can post images on forums, or comment on blogs with images and get backlinks. Can anyone verify if this works? I heard about getting backlinks that way on this forum months ago, but never used it.
Well a backlink is a link from one website linking to your website. So you can put the link and instead of text put it as image. Or even write the URL on the image and hope someone will bother to go to the URL. But important thing is the keyword used to link your website. So i wouldn't advise to use images for backlinks.
With images you can always use alt text to give it a bit of anchor. But yet again... People do go around spamming with link images. This method has been used for years.
Sure you can use images, you can use a little imagination and come up with great link building ideas using images, would be a nice addition to anyones link building methods portfolio.
It works a treat for link baiting. For example the forum emoticons and various banners being offered by various websites. Even that connection speed thread here on DP. Did you see the amount of posts it had? All of the images were linked back to that speed test website.
yes they count as a backlink. It is well known for webmasters to also search engine optimise their image links
