As I said images of a site plays very important role by creating visual sense to your site's readers. In short images make your site more understandable. But what most blogger and site owner does not know that the photos they uploads are not confined to their site only. Crawlers shows these images within their respectives search engine.
Almost every search engine has image search option. And image search option is a good source of website and blog traffic. Before uploading images on your site if you optimize it properly then you can good traffic from images search. In this post I am gonna share some important tips by which you can optimize the Blogger Images for better SEO.
Tip-1: Image Properties
Basically the search engine crawler only understand the codes and writing of your site. But when search engine crawls images of your site it don't even understands what to do with it because they are made to collect information not to interpret. So, to optimize your site's images properly you should label all the images tags.
As an example, suppose you have uploaded a dog image on your blog like below. Then click on the image and click on the Properties link of the image located at the below of the image. Now you will get two blank box for Title Text and ALT text. Now enter Cute Dog in the Title Text box and enter Sweet Dog in the ALT text box.
Now when search engine crawl this image it will imdisk this image in the name of Cute Dog and Sweet Dog. So, when someone search for dog's images in the name of Cute Dog and Sweet Dog then the search engines will show your uploaded image in the search result.
You can get good numbers of traffic if your images get top rank in the search result. And about getting top rank in the search result Title Text and ALT Text plays very important role. The more popular Title Text and ALT text you will use on your site's image the better search rank you will get and more traffic will be forwarded to your site. So, Title Text and ALT Text of the images is very important.
Tip-2: Add a Caption
After Title text and ALT text caption is another very important things of your site's images. For better image optimization you should always Add Caption to the images so, that the average visitor can understands what they are looking for. Not only that adding caption will make your site more professional and also engage the visitors with your site.
Everyone may not come across from Google Image search to your page only for viewing the dog's image. Mostly visitors want to download the image. The most important thing is that visitors found your images relevant to their search and as a result they will navigate to your site to save the image.

A better caption of your site's images will play an important in the Bounce Rate. When someone comes to your site from image search and realize that it is not what he looking for then he goes back to search engine immediately is called Bounce Rate. So, if you use caption images on your images it will reduce bounce rate also increase search engine rank.
Tip-3: Image Size
As reduction of bounce rate help better search rank, on the contrary increment of bounce back rate help you to improve your site ranking. But basically bounce back rate depends on your site loading speed. Because no one want to visit a site having very slow loading speed. So, site speed is also very concerning matter of a site which mostly depends on the image size. You can read this post about Analyzing Your Site's Speed.
Optimize your site's images before uploading them to your site and try to keep them as small as possible while retaining the quality. So, that you can reduce the site's loading time. There may software available for image optimization. Among them my personal choice is Photoshop. While saving images from Photoshop use Save for Web option to reduce the size of it.
