    Hi

    I wanted to know I am running a wordpress site in which I add 1 or 2 pictures per post & not have any text. Now the matter is how can I make my site better for SEO because it is only title of post that can be used for SEO from search engines. Can I put those keywords, which I use for the post into Meta tags on my page below my pictures?

    Regards

    You can right click the image go to the settings or directly edit it in HTML when you post.

    Do seo for exactly what are the keywords for the site you using. What are your targeted keywords? What have you used in meta tags? do seo for them and you will be benefited.

    Create alt text tags for your images. Search engines will be able to read those, so, use your keywords in them. And, of course, use keywords in your titles.

    You can give some explanation/content based on the title of post. This will help in SEO and will also make your post more interesting for your visitors.

    Use "alt" tag for each image and describe the picture. Also caption of image is a good source to insert some sensible text.
    You can also try inserting text after or before image with the text color same as background color. So it wont be visible to visitirs to yr site but will serve the purpose of SEO.. (this one just came out of my mind) :)
    Also related posts is a must for photo blog

    Hope that helps

    Use All in One SEO plugin and add custom meta data for each post.

    I'd recommend the Yoast SEO plugin to make sure you have optimised page titles and content.

    Apart from that, as mentioned above make sure you're giving your images good descriptive alt tags. Not just a couple of words, but imagine describing the image for someone who can't see it.

    Wouldn't advise - google is wise to that sort of tactic!

    how are you going to do that ? You have only 3 options from AIO in a post, Title, Description and Keywords
    Description is going to be almost similar to the post data in the above case little text.
