Tips on using ALT Tags For Optimizing Image

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

ALT Tag is an important factor while Optimizing Image for a web page. Here are few tips need to be taken while placing images into your web page.

  1. Use ALT Tags to label every image on your web page.
  2. Only use the most relevant keyword in ALT Tag to label your image.
  3. Do not add unrelated keywords in ALT Tags.
  4. Try not to make ALT Tag look like spam for search engines.
  5. Add keyword or phrase for important images.
  6. For other images like background images, spacers, dividing lines, table borders, and other images used for designing use alt=”” as the Alternate Text.
  7. Do not repeat keywords.
  8. ALT Text should be a sentence or phrase, instead of keywords separated by commas.

Tips to add Alternate Text to Images:

The correct way to use ALT Text is:

<img src=”images/ankit-rawat.jpg” alt=”ankit rawat” width=”140? height=”87? />

where ankit-rawat.jpg is the image name and “Ankit Rawat” is the ALT Tag added to the image so as to label it.

It is recommended to use ALT tag with every image of your web page.

Don’t name images as ar123.jpg or something like that … its good to have a correct name for image like .. ankit-rawat.jpg !!

Let me know if u have any kind of further doubt !!

Use of Meta Description Tag in SEO

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

I had already discussed about the Importance of Meta Keyword Tag and Title Tag for SEO in my Previous post ! Like Keyword and Title Tag, Meta Description Tag is also placed between the <head></head> section of a web page.

This tag is used by the Search Engines to display information regarding a web page. It is also displayed in SERP’s displayed by the Search Engines. Since this tag is displayed in Search Engine Ranking Pages, It is important for a web page and is supposed to be well structured so as to get good traffic, because if a user will find the description interesting and useful enough then only he/she will click and visit it.

Format for Meta Description Tag

<meta name=”description” content=”Description of your web page.” />

Here are some important points to be remember while making a Meta Description Tag for your web page:

  1. Do not increase the length of Meta Description Tag to 150 - 200 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
  2. Use Unique Meta Description for every page of your website.
  3. Note that Meta Description is summary of your webpage and including 4-5 Keywords in this tag is a good idea.
  4. Try to use Important Keywords near the starting of description tag for Keyword Prominence.
  5. Do not use misspellings or other spelling variations in the Meta Description Tag.
  6. Make sure that you use the Meta Description Tag to describe the page it will be added to.

Apart from above it is suggested to search Google, yahoo and MSN for your favorite keyword and check the description for the top 10 sites .. So that you will get some more idea about this tag !!
