Google Traffic Tip - Images

Here is a simple way to increase your traffic from Google and possibly other search engines. Add images to your blog posts or website content. Google has an index called Google Images. People can search Google to find images of just about anything and they certainly do. I have a Celebrity blog (Money Moguls) and I get a lot of traffic from the images in each post. I never knew this until I started looking at my website stats and noticed the number of visitors from Google images. I think I gained about 40% in traffic just from the images alone. I always make sure to name the images with keywords and also use keywords in the “Alt” tags.

Not all posts are a fit for images nor are all images going to have the same results with Google. However images can not only enhance a post or web page but also help in getting more traffic.
