SEO for Files & Pictures

When uploading files to and for your website, it is important to give them relevant names. If you are uploading a picture of your dog to a website or webpage, don't just call it mydog.htm, name the breed of the dog for example, labrador.htm or mylabrador.htm. You need to think about your competition and what they name their pictures or products and think of what people will type into search engines to find your picture, website or webpage and then choose a name for your files.

How do you optimize a picture in google? How do people find your site in google images? I will explain the simple, free and effective way for your images to show up in search engines. In the previous paragraph File Name I explained about having a good and relevant file name when it came to pictures and files, this helps search engines find the files or pictures. Search engines can't reconise pictures, onlyu text. So the way the search engine bot determines whether your picutre is relevant is by the file name and the text surrounding it.
