Search Engine Optimization is primarily the art of getting your site found in search engines for keywords relevant to your sites content. You want free targeted traffic right?

Webgeek.me has gathered some easy tips on increasing your sites SEO.

Tagging Images.

Adding alternative text to images increases the number of keywords the spiders will find on your page. When users search for images on google, your picture is more likely to be found with relevant keywords.

You can easily add alternative text using the following code;

< imgsrc= "image.jpg" alt="keyword" height="150" width="150" >

Use the alternative text to describe your picture so that it is relevant to your articles or the content on your page. Do not use the alternative text to stuff your site with keywords. Search engines are smart and do not rank overstuffed keywords.

Naming your image. Think about it, if someone wishes to save your image to their computer, which will look better "image1.jpg" or "chyrpdemoscreenshot.jpg". Image titles are also crawled by search engines and act as keywords.
