20th Name Your Pictures for Google Image search
When you upload pictures to your blog, do you name it carefully or do you just put some numbers on it? Well, it is better to give a good name for the pictures that you upload as it will be index by Google image search. That means if you name your pictures properly then it is easy for people to find it. Take for example if you?re uploading a picture of money, just name it ?money? instead of ?123.jpg?. You can even make it better by naming it more precise like ?10dollar.jpg?. Information is not the only thing that people search online, pictures are being search too. Make use of the pictures that you upload to get more traffic. It might not bring lots of traffic but one visitor is better then nothing. You might not see much effect on a money making blog, but this method is definitely great for blogs with celebrities, movies, cars and sports. Do a search for an image on Google image search and you?ll get the idea.

Well, you don’t have to rename them. At least you can start changing the way you name them from now.
Great article, Kumo!
My experiences with Image Searches are invaluable. I name all my images according to keywords, and I put their keywords into their alt and title tags.
My http://www.smart-travel-germany.com site, for example, receives up to 70% traffic from Image Searches!
