Too Many Images on a Site Considered Anti-SEO

Too Many Images on a Site Considered Anti-SEO

You should notice that search engines are not able to see the images
contents. They can only see texts. Even when you search for an image with
Google Images, it doesn't list the images based on the images contents and
what images have in their body. All the images are listed there based on the
keywords/phrases found around them on the web pages, the image alt tag
content, and also through the image file name which can contain
keyword/phrase. Therefore, if a website content is mainly on the images and
flash files, the search engines will have a hard time to understand what the
website is all about, and where it has to be ranked and indexed.

The website loading speed is another important thing that has to be
considered.

Visuals do make your site look good, but excess of them can kill it.

I have seen some websites, especially related with tourism which become very
heavy with images and end up losing its visitors to their competitors. Some
of the best firms with most genuine information, services, holiday packages,
& costing, are buried deep down in search engines, never to be found by its
target audience. When such websites are analysed, `heavy to load - reason:
too many images' is found to be one of the reasons for its status on SE. It
will do you a lot of good to hire a designer who is into SE crawler friendly
designing.

Your site should be quick to load; therefore it is important that it is
light. When a visitor finally finds your site - research suggests that you
have four seconds of visitor's attention span within which if you should be
able to grab his attention; if not he is a free feast for your competitor.
Let's understand that adding pictures is not the only way to make your
website look good. You can use buttons for visual relief; there are some
wonderful fonts out there that can add character to your site.

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

Get More Visitors to Take an action When visiting your Website

When you start out in the blogosphere, there are two words that you hear over and over again. 1. Content - Because let's face it, if you're not writing anything, your blog is going to be pretty lonesome 2. Traffic - The rationale being that if no one is visiting your content, you can't do much, including make money I'd like to toss something out there though that not a lot of people seem to talk about, and that's quality in your content and in your traffic. You see, if you are blogging for any particular reason, whether it's to build your brand or to fill your wallet, you need to build a community of people who will actually support your content, click on your affiliate links, and buy your very first e-book.
