    Hi Gang,

    I released today a SEO plugin, this one is unique as it focuses on getting image searches traffic. It's huge portion of searches so why don't get it?

    It is pretty automatic, read on the release here New Wordpress plugin SEO Image and jump to the download page here SEO Image - Wordpress Plugins

    Feedback welcome ;)

    Bear in mind folks that this plugin will do more than just SEO. It'll also improve the accessibility and usability of your blog as well.

    Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm pretty cyncial when it comes to WordPress plugins - this is definately a plugin EVERY WordPress installation should have.

    (If this isn't an endorsement of Vladimir's plugin, I don't know what is.)

    this is a wonderful plugin. I have no installed it yet but by reading what it can do i will say that every wordpress user should have this plugin. Title tags are some of the most important SEO features on my site and it has become a pain to have to code them all in manually, specially when making a few posts a day which include multiple pictures. This plugin will take care of all that work for me and become something that will make my workload smaller which will mean i will have more time to work on other things. Great plugin, thank you very much.

    Edit: I have one question...It says it adds alt and title tags to images which dont already have them...Lets say i have images which have alt tags but do not have title tags...Will the plugin pick up on this and add the title tag? Either way this is still a great plugin, im gonna download it later..

    2 FN LOW, you're confusing the TITLE element (the document title) with the title attribute. They're two completely separate animals. :)

    how am i confusing it?

    these creates the alt and title tags for the images based on what i save the filed saved as...

    for example

    Say i have a picture titled Dell_Computer_Monitor...When i upload the photo and add it to my post and publish it, the plugin will at the title tag to the image..So when you hover over it with your mouse the title of the image will pop up..So it will show Dell_Computer_Monitor..

    or if i save my pictures as Dell Computer Monitor, without the underscores the plugin will add the title that says Dell-Computer-Monitor...

    Im not sure which is better with that though...Should i save my pictures so it displays with the "-" inbetween the words or is it better to have the "_" inbetween the the words?


    If im still confusing something here please correct me so i can get it right...always willing to learn :D

    Great plugin. I've been meaning to backtack and check my sites for missing tags. I installed it on several of my blogs just 2 days ago, and it saved me a load of time!

    Because a tag in HTML is identified by te presence of a < and > bracket. Thus, <title> and </title> are tags, just like <img> is a tag. An attribute (and its corresponding value) is an "add-on" to a tag, like alt="" and title="".

    Web designers and developers who know the difference between tags and attributes will immediatley think you're referring to the tags that make up the TITLE element when someone talks about "title tags"

    To further clarify, an element in HTML is a building block used to define the structure of a Web page. A tag in HTML takes that element and puts it in a human readable form by adding < and > to it. Most HTML elements (but not all) have starting and ending tags, such as <title></title> or <div></div>, while others do not, like <meta> and <img> (in XHTML these are written as <meta /> and <img />). Attributes are added to extend the usefulness of these tags on an as-needed basis (and some tags require certain attributes to work, such as <img>).

    Does that help, or did I confuse you further?

    im still sort of confused lol..But thats ok cause im still pretty new to a lot of this stuff....When it all comes down to it, is having the alt="x" and title="x" a good thing for your images? Will it help them show more in google images?

    If you wanna check out my site and see how my images show you can do that at Sneaker Obsession

    The plugins will do great for seo, however I would like to report some bug I notice. It may not be a bug but this is what I observe.

    tried it on wp 2.3.1
    1) for those image with already "alt" inserted, double alt seem to be applied
    2) Somehow "%name" doesn't work, I set my alt to be "%name %title", but when I checked it only shows the title in the alt tab.

    If the error is on my part, please highlight it to me. Just want to report my findings
