Use Alt Attribute for Better SEO and to Increase Blogger Traffic

As all of you know about SEO (Search engine Optimization). If your blogger or site has better SEO then your page views or traffic will increase. Most of the people don't know that with the help of images, SEO could have been better. Now I'll tell you the way that how can you optimize your images and blogger traffic?

When a picture is downloaded from internet then it is saved with its by default name. Your first step is that you have to change its name with proper keyword or image description.

There is a great percentage of blogger traffic depends upon the image search. Google image search is used worldwide for original and quality images. So, when you put the image name with keyword then it will come in image search and as well as in surfing with those keywords. Your blogger posts are also searching by your post titles and bold letters in posts will also help to search that post.

Now, follow these steps to use alt attribute properly.

Change Image Name with Proper keyword:

When you are downloading the pictures then these will be saved with their by default name. Change the names of images with proper keyword before uploading or inserting in blogger. For example if a picture is downloaded with name of 1, then you have to change it with your proper description according to the content before uploading.

Use Alt Attribute:

An image is useless and meaningless when it is not tagged with keywords. For robots search an image should be proper tagged. Because spider search and search robots can't read the multimedia without untagged images. So. proper tagged images will help the robots search to search a proper topic. For this purpose use alt attribute. After you upload the picture go to the 'HTML' portion which is along with Compose option. There you can see the by default code which is following:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now, find the image code started with 'img' which is in purple color, just after this add the alt attribute and write your image description (proper keyword name of image) which is in red color like this:

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHD_95MmUGRln6h_uNFH3cemSUaewNKO8S3OXmK_nLK2ryK6-DZbevbJ7RPVIIbivRpdnPbstnBBW8uHcvFBWBZ5Gn7kx7DR-ydvsn5g_dNYQU4YmpHX9qk7ACTtAYt9rtEof08LIKbhD/s1600/how+to+seo+optimize+blogger+posts+titles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image description" border="0" height="104" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHD_95MmUGRln6h_uNFH3cemSUaewNKO8S3OXmK_nLK2ryK6-DZbevbJ7RPVIIbivRpdnPbstnBBW8uHcvFBWBZ5Gn7kx7DR-ydvsn5g_dNYQU4YmpHX9qk7ACTtAYt9rtEof08LIKbhD/s200/use+alt+attribute+for +better+SEO.jpg" width="100" /></a></div>

Replace "image description" with your proper keyword name that was given by you after downloading according to the content. Try to use maximum 5 or less words.
