So what is it?

On every website you own, you need be sure you’ve correctly optimized your images for Image Search. If you take a few minutes with each page and optimize every graphic correctly, you’ll quickly start to get found by people searching through the Google and Yahoo image directories. Here are the 3 steps you need to take to get maximum benefit from every image on your website.

Step 1 - Whenever you name images for your website or blog, make sure you use a keyword that closely relates to what the image is actually about. Then always add a keyword-rich Alt tag to each graphic to double it’s chances of getting found. Then whenever possible, add as many keyword optimized Graphics to your site’s pages as you can to bring in organic search traffic from Google and Yahoo Images.

As an example, an image of a sandy Beach in Puerto Rico might be called puerto-rico-beach.jpg, and your Alt tag might say Puerto Rico Beach. Don’t ever don’t try to fool the Search Engines by calling an image something that it’s not; you and your website might be penalized for it.

Step 2 - Make sure the pages containing your Images are optimized correctly for the same or similar keywords. This will help to keep your site congruent in the eyes of Google and Yahoo. For example, the file name for a page containing an image you’ve called Puerto Rico Beach would be called puerto-rico-beach.html or something close to that. It should at least have the keyword phrase Puerto Rico in the file name, the Title Tag and Description if possible.

Keep adding more content and optimized images to your website and your organic search engine traffic will continue to grow over time. This technique is very effective because most people don’t understand how important it really is, or don’t know exactly how to do it correctly. You will give yourself an unfair advantage your competitors and your traffic should receive a significant boost from higher organic search listings.

Step 3 - Now this is really important. Do NOT name the images of your Guarantees, Order Buttons or other ancillary Graphics in this fashion - use numbers instead. Google looks at the total number of images on each page and determines how relevant each image is to the page’s content. If you have 4 images on a page and 2 of them relate to a beach in Puerto Rico, while 2 that are called order.jpg and guarantee.jpg, the images on that page will only be seen as 50% relevant to the rest of the page content. You don’t want that to happen.

If your Guarantee and Order images are called numbers instead, for example 0098.jpg and 0099.jpg, Google will disregard them for page optimization purposes, and your page images will be seen as 100% relevant, giving you additional points from the Search Engines, and potentially increasing your rankings, traffic and profits.
