9 ways to increase website traffic using Google Image Search

Google search engine indexes images in your web pages. When someone uses Google Image Search to find images on the web, what chance does your website to appear in search results? If you know how to optimize images in your web pages, images will have high rankings in search results of pictures. Using highly relevant and properly optimized images in your web pages will bring quality traffic from Google Image Search. Use the techniques described below for optimizing Google Image Search.

1. Use the alt attribute of the IMG html tag. This is the most important. Use a specific keyword or keyword phrase that identifies what the image is everything. If the image is a red rose, use the phrase 'red rose', instead of rose or a flower, in the alt.

2. Use the title attribute in the img tag. The title attribute is what people see when you hover the mouse over the image. You can use the same text for the title you use for the alt attribute.

3. Use both the width and height attributes for the image. If the height is unknown, use the width of the image. It is advisable always to use the image width from a point of view of design. Unknown image width can break your horizontal layout forcing your web site visitors to scroll horizontally, which is very annoying.

4. Do not use image1, image2, etc. for the names of image files. Instead, use descriptive names. For example, use red-rose for a red rose image file. You can use the same text that you use the alt attribute. Just hyphenate the words if it is a key phrase.

5. Put some description texts just beneath the image. For example, 'a red rose in bloom in the morning enough' for the red rose image. Make the key word, red rose, bold. When Google displays the image on the results page of image search results page will also display the texts surrounding the image.

6. Choose your anchor texts in links to images carefully. Instead of 'click here for larger image' as the link text to an image, you can use 'a large red rose picture is here' as the anchor text.

7. Put all your images in a folder and, if you prefer, categorize your images in subfolders in the root image. Make sure the file robot does not restrict access to folders of images. Use the img tag and src for images on web pages. Avoid all kinds of tricks Java Script. Goolge search engine spider will be able to index all your images. If you have image files descriptive names, will be relevant in search results of Google images.

8. Use Google Trends to find hot topics. Use your creativity to create a credible relevance between you images and hot trends. For example, if 'Hunt for Red October' is the hot topic, you can use 'Hunt for Red October Rose' as a text image.

9. You should already have your website verified by Google. If Google has not verified your site, go ahead and get it done by opening an account for Google Webmaster Tools. Once you have your site verified, enable enhanced image search for your site by logging into Google Webmaster Tools .......
