Optimize+Images+Seo

How It's work

For example, Think Google comes across the following image.



Normally we are using <img> tag for images.Therefore Search engine only know that's image URL.
All of we can see its image of the car,but search engine cannot understand it.Hence we have to give some alt and description tag to help search engine for better understanding images.

Use Correct images

For example, If you are going to write a article about cars.Just find the car image for your article.Actually image gives thousands of words.Thats why you need to choose content related image.An article wihout an images is just dull and boring.

Rename your photo according to article

If you want to optimize your images even further,You need to change file name.Because you have to target your keywords.Once you have your keywords ready.You need to use them as file name. lets say,You are trying to use keyword as "Sport car".But, what i see more people named thier image as 1234.jpg.This is not the correct way.You have to rename it as sport-car.jpg.

Alt tags.

Alt tag is alternative text if the image cant be displayed.( slow connection) Actually its useful for visitors and search engines.Text should also contain keywords when describing the image.Thats why its good idea to  use important keywords in alt tag.This is how you should add it.
<img src="sport-car.jpg" alt="Sport car" />

How to add Alt tag to blogger images.

1. Log in to blogger
2. Click new post and add a image like usual.

    1. Its true.
      However always we use images for our articles right.
      Actually Monetising Google traffic is very hard job,Because most of traffic isn't usually going to go directly to your website.Therefore you can try some other methods like CPM networks (Click Per Impression) where you get paid per impression.
