I’ve been noticing that more and more of the sites we run are getting visitors from Google image search. I have been diligently using alt tags on all my images but I didnt’ know how much impact it would have on search.

Well, I just came across an article about this and now I completely understand.

If you goto my SFBlogg.com, more than 50% Google searches come from some type of image search for pictures about San Francisco.

Although I think this could work for all types of websites, it will work even better on sites where people are expecting to find images.

Here’s some key tips from pearsonified that will help you: (By the way, pearsonified is the one that made the WP Theme for our Zedomax.Net site.)

Every standards-compliant, Google-sensitive image reference should contain 5 key items:

1. 1. A src attribute specifying the URL of the image
   2. A width declaration in which the width of the image is specified in pixels
   3. A height declaration in which the height of the image is specified in pixels
   4. An alt attribute that describes the content of the image—this is the #1 element of image-oriented SEO
   5. A title attribute that contains text to be displayed when the user hovers his/her mouse over the image
