It has been a lot of talking about Google image search but it still isn’t 100% sure how it’s working. Google haven’t published their algorithm. But we can surely state:
- The most important is pictures’ ALT (alternate text) attribute. If there’s appletree on the picture then you should add this to ALT attribute like that:
- As you can see in example put the same keyword to the title attribute (it’s shows up when user moves cursor on top of picture).
- Name your picture file whit the right name. If there’s a planet on the picture then name it planet.jpg
- Use same keywords around the picture that you’re optimizing your picture for. Context is very important. For example:My dog is the best dog <img src=”planet.jpg” alt=”planet” title=”planet” />. Big planet?
- For photos the jpg format is better than gif. Google thinks by default that photos are in jpg and design elements in gif format.
- Web-page title (<title> tag) counts. Your page title has impact on your picture. If you google ,,planet some results my come up just because they have ,,planet in title tag.
- Put your pictures at the beginning of the web-page. The closer the pictures are to title the more impact it has. Google thinks that pictures at the beginning are more important.
- The higher the quality of pictures the better. Because then more people will notice it and click on it.
- Link to picture with the according keyword. If there’s dog on the picture then don’t put “click here” for anchor text, better is dog
- Avoid using javascript for opening, showing or serving up bigger version of pictures.
- Register your web-page at Google Webmaster Tools and under the Settings find Include my site in Google Image Labeler and make a mark in the box.
- Tag your pictures with Google Image Labeler.
If you use all of these tactics you should do better than 95% of your competitors.
Good luck with optimizing your pictures!
