Hi everyone!

A while back I remember reading something on this forum about optimizing your website with the help of the pictures that you upload.

If you right-click on the photo in your Documents folder (where you have saved it), you can enter key words or your web address. This is supposed to help boost your presence on search engines.

Does anyone remember this post (I think it was Peri, but not sure)?

Hey Susan,

I haven't seen you around in awhile. Good to see you!

I don't remember the post but I think I know what you're talking about. If you pull up the picture, right click it, go to properties, you can change the file name to one of your keywords. Is that what you are wanting to know?

Hi Kathy, thanks for responding!

I should have taken more time wording that question, but I was in a bit of a hurry.

My husband opened an online store to sell his electronic stuff, cell phones, etc. We were on the site this morning adding a few things along with the photos of each item. I remembered a post here a while back where someone mentioned that if you right-click on the photo, you can add your web addy and a few key words. This will help with placement on the search engines.

I wondered if anyone had done this on their sites, and if it helped at all.

Yeah, I haven't posted her in several months. This site really looks nice.

Yes, this is called "alternative text" Susan, and it could help a bit.

It will help even more if you name your photo with your targeted keyword as well. i.e. a picture of golf clubs=targeted keyword is golf clubs=name your photo "golf clubs". When linking to your image it would then be something like

http://www.hypotheticaldomain.com/images/golfclubs.jpg etc.

Hope you get the idea.

Hope that helps you out.

Take care,

Davin
