More on SEO, part 3

Good news for those who are trying to boost their ranking in the SERPs. Google is now indexing images uploaded on Blogger. This means that the images you upload on your blog (specifically on Blogger) could have an effect on your ranking, depending on how you use this to your advantage. Here's a couple ideas:

1) Post a new blog, and include an image with a link to your website, like so:

Cheap color copies, black and white copies, booklets, books, binding and more!

2) Link the image to your website's main page. In your image's ALT tag, enter a descriptive sentence rich with your most important keywords. Do the same in your HREF "title" tag. It should look something like this:

<a href="http://www.docucopies.com" title="Cheap color copies, black and white copies, booklets, books, binding and more!"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6oIO_8-NH8Ueq4I-FSrk6VtqoFMt77gx7u37d1LkR1CcYfGeB4CHWEbDDGdAns3RfTJ6xlS_sxEXX-G3L-hY0bECpF3p1ncixpGNI4rhKvNd0EE2p_BEbbTlzkJZcqqjr5U60EiWCjm0/s220/DocuCopies+Logo.gif" alt="Cheap color copies, black and white copies, booklets, books, binding and more!"></a>

3) The image itself, coupled with the descriptive ALT and TITLE tags and of a course a link back to your website, can be a powerful way to get indexed higher for these keywords next time a Google Bot (automated "crawlers" that locate and index HTML pages) crawls over your blog. Hint: Google likes when people link to you. The more people you can get linking to your site with an image and descriptive ALT and TITLE tags, the higher you will be ranked.
