Image Optimization tips for web site


Ways to optimizae the image
Images are the appearance of your website. We add images to make our website more presentable and understandable. But this is not as simple to add the image. You should optimize the images you are going to add. By optimizing the image you can get better rank of your web page. There are some tips I am going to present here which you must follow to get better ranks.


Appropriate Image:
This is so necessary to add an image which is 100% relevant to your topic or at least have some concept. This is better to choose High Dimension Images. Choose the image that you own. Do not use other`s copyright stuff. Also .jpg images are more preferable. .png images take more places.

Title of image:
Whenever we take a picture by the camera, the default name is like DS020030.jpg. But you need to change that title to optimize the image. Name your image with certain keywords. For example Graphic- design- London.jpg. Never use spaces in the name of image. Google suggest placing the images in one folder on your site.

Alt Text:
Use excellent alt text description to make search engines know that what your image is about. Usually search engines are not able to determine the description of image like they do for other text of the site. So search engines determine the caption of the image.

Anchor Text:
Anchor text is very good choice to make your image optimized for the search engines.  Anchor text the image with certain link will help a lot to rank better in search engines.

Image donation for Wikipedia:
This is sometimes helpful for you and Wikipedia also. Wikipedia is pretty conservative about adding the images. But they love a lot to add if you donate them. Donating the images to Wikipedia if they belong to your business will make your identity.

Copyrights:
Create some copyright license for your image particularly for one that requires attribution. So people would not be able to add that into their site. 

PNGOUT: 
 PNGOUT is a free tool that is helpful for the optimization. It can run in the command line or Simply in the Run box of window. This tool has so many options to optimize your image.  

These were some image Optimization tips you should use when adding an image to your site.More optimized image on your site will lead to better rank.
