Basic SEO Lessons Part 5: IMG Alt Tag
Posted by greatbloggingtips | Posted in Blog Exposure, SEO | Posted on 09-01-2009
Your images should be described using ALT Tags with the keywords you are optimizing for.
Example:
Instead of just putting
<img src=”image.jpg”>,
you should put it as
<img src=”image.jpg” alt=”Image descriptions for engines to index”>
Besides for SEO optimization, the purpose of ALT text is also to describe the image for the benefit of those who surf the Web with images turned off. Therefore, do not include keywords that are not related to your image. Keyword spamming will adversely affect your rankings in the SERPs.

When you search a term in Google, you will notice that the term not only appears in the content but is also part of the URL.
Example: If you have a post on SEO Lessons, the URL http://www.greatbloggingtips.com/basic-seo-lessons-part-3-content-body-tag/ will certainly be more meaningful than http://www.greatbloggingtips.com/p03/
Simple URL design rules:
- Make it short, simple but descriptive
- Make it human and machine readable
- No special characters except hyphen “-”
- Do not change your URL once it has been set
Basic SEO Lessons Part 3: Content (Body Tag)
Posted by greatbloggingtips | Posted in Blog Exposure, SEO | Posted on 02-01-2009
Repeat your keyword phrases a few times as this denotes strong emphasis to the search engines.
However, do keep in mind that you should not repeat the keywords too frequently until your readers end up feeling frustrated.
Make sure you use H1 and H2 tags to highlight important keywords of your content.
Help search engine to get more relevant content and they will help you to attract more visitors!
