Labelling Your Images Correctly For SEO

This is a short post about how to name your images on your website or blog. Whenever you put an image within an article on your site or in a blog post you absolutely want to name it with the relevant keyword.

This is one thing that many bloggers get lazy about even though it can bring you lots of traffic. While we are speaking of lots of traffic, if you have gone to the trouble of tagging your image with the appropriate keyword but you don’t point the image to a link that is going to lead to an action or a sale, you’ve wasted a chance.

When you upload an image to your blog typically it will go into the images folder on your website and if someone was to click on that image, they would go to a blank page that was displaying your image only. Why not send them to a related affiliate offer instead?

A word of warning!

Just because you now know how to add an alt tag to your image with your keyword in it, don’t think if a little is good more is better. What I mean is don’t going stuffing keywords into every image on your site. Google is quite clever and they will be onto your tactics in a flash.

The only images that you should tag with keywords are images on your content pages if and only when they are relevant.
