Optimize Images in blogger for Search (Image SEO)
Today I will show how you can optimize images(image SEO) for search engines like Google ,Yahoo etc. .This is explained with reference to Google Blogger blog, but Wordpress users may also use this if you don’t have plugins installed.</p>
1. Name images correctly : Most important part of the image seo is to name the images correctly. The above image is named as 123.jpg instead of dollar-sign.jpg ,and this would harm the search engine positions of the image for the keyword “dollar sign” . So make sure that you included targeted keyword while naming each image .</p>
2. Fill ALT and Title tags:</p>
After uploading an image in blogger posting section , just check out the Edit HTML tab next to Compose button . Along with your text , you can see some sort of code like as shown below.</p>

This is nothing but an image linking code in HTML .These HTML codes are usually hidden from ompose menu in blogger/Wordpress for the easiness of less experienced users.</p>
The letters given in Blue color are alt tags and title tags .These alt tags are used to give us an information about images if they are not available . In some cases /browsers ,there are chances for the images to load not . So if some text is placed between alt tags , it will be displayed in place of the image. Search engines like Google,Yahoo,Live etc. look at these ALT tags to identify images . Similarly the title tags are used to name the images . Text inserted in title tag will be shown when mouse cursor is moved over image . These two tags helps thesearch engines to collect details of an image and categorize them accordingly . In Wordpresswe have image seo plugins to automate filling title and alt tags . But in Blogger it should be filled manually as shown above .</p>
3. Text surrounding the image should contain related keywords.</p>
4. Submit your image to social bookmarking sites like Digg,Mixx .</p>
6. If you are using blogger , the final step to optimize image is to tag and activate public display of images in Picasa Web albums(picasaweb.google.com). Many of the bloggers don’t know that their images are automatically uploaded to Picasa . Usually these images are private and held as unlisted .To make them public , go to any album >Edit > album properties >Now select public and save
