Images Tags And Image Optimization

Images Tags and Image Optimization  :-  Image optimization deals with optimization methods for image manipulation and display. How to better process image data, how to allow for more efficient display of images.

Image Optimization Tips For Local SEO :-

• Image filename as a main local keywords :- Example:-  seo-online-training-india.jpg


• Use an Exemplar Photo to represent your business


• optimize the image’s EXIF data!
  “EXIF” stands for “exchangeable image file format”, and allows various metadata about an image to be stored and embedded in its file.


• Add ALT Text :- seo online training,seo training india


• Add Title Parameters to your image :- seo online Training in india
  Note :- ALT and Title Parameters for images help search engines understand what the image content is about.


• Specify the image in Facebook’s & Twitter Open Graph protocol


• Upload the image to your Google Place page for the business.


• Add an image about your business to your blog


• Donate an image to Wikipedia


• Images for localized ( GEO locations )
  Example:- http://www.seolearn.in/images/seo-online-training- india.jpg


• image size (min. 320 pixel, max. 1280 pixel)


• Image type:- JPEG, GIF or PNG. I would recommend Jpeg or PNG.PNG-8 much better. In the cases I use PNG.


• Copyright notice:- This is irrelevant for images optimization. But I highly recommend this. A picture, that is in the Google index.


• Don’t Robots Exclude Your Images Folder.

• Use A Descriptive Filename :- Example:- seo-online-training-india.jpg


• The Alt Attribute :- thumb is to use 1 word for every 16×40 slice of an image
  50×100 pixels, you can use (50/16) * (100/40) = 6 words.


• Provide a Direct Link To The Photo :-
  Example:-SEO Training india
