8. Optimize your images
Many people forget that optimizing your images also gives you another big blog SEO boost.

Because search engines can’t “see” a picture the way you and I do, they look at the argentina phone number library file’s description—both the title and image alt text—to understand and categorize your images.

SEO for Bloggers Example of Image Alt Text and Title Tags
For more SEO power, rename file names of pictures uploaded to WordPress to something that’s short, includes an important keyword, and is still descriptive.

This is especially important for your feature image because it’s often the one that gets pinned, shared, and indexed into image search results.

For instance, you can name an image “before-after-blog-seo.jpg” when “blog SEO” is your target keyword phrase, and the picture could be a graph showing your blog traffic before and after it was optimized.

If you’re using a proprietary image you created, be sure to use your keywords in your alt text and keep your description to under 100 characters. You don’t need to do this with pictures you find on the Internet because they already rank for someone else’s keyword.
