Writing SEO Friendly Alt Text for Images

Image Optimization Factors

Image optimization reduces bounce rate of traffic from your site. When a visitor clicks on your link in 'search engine' and immediately returns to the search engine without visiting your posts, the 'search engine' thinks the contents of your posts are not relevant to the topic and reduces your ranking. 

Type and nature of traffic always vary. Some lazy visitors prone to read only headings and captions of the images instead of going through the entire article. A brief, good 'image caption' may reverse this trend and reduces your bounce rate and you do not lose ranking in 'search engines'. 

Use image files which are supported by 'blogger' and 'JPEG' should be your first choice as this type of image file is generally supported by all types of browsers. Using 'PNG' should be the second choice. The file name of the image should be related to the keywords of the article. This enables the search engine bot to index the website properly leading to increased traffic from search engine.

Page loading time is an important factor as far as SEO is concerned. The more images you put in a single page the more time it takes to load. The heavier the file size of the images the longer is the page loading time. Observed 60 to 70 percent of viewers become impatient and leave a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. 

Thus do not attempt to crowd your pages with too many images and file size of each image should be less than 100kb. If necessary crop the image to bring down the file size. Google lists all the good and bad parts of a website with the help its 'Page Speed Insight Tool' which is responsible for your website loading times.

As far as 'Alignment' is concerned it has been observed centered images are a good choice as it directly hit the viewer's eyes and have greater impact. Left alignment with the contents on the right also appear attractive.
