How to title your pictures and link to your sites and blogs


In one of my seminars I explained that how when you save a picture as a jpeg to then publish on your blog or website, that however you “title” it is how it will be labeled when people are doing a web search using Google Images for example.

So instead of just stating “bananas” for instance when you have a picture of bananas, you should state the name of your website, or book, or whatever you wish to promote in the title such as “Northshore Garden’s Bananas”. (Note that I’m not endorsing Northshore’s bananas, I didn’t take time to do a search to see if such a business exists; if so, please visit them and do some business there!).

In a recent blog post where I was explaining how to shorten links, I created “pictures” of the sites for both tinyurl and Bitly. I saved those pictures as: “Tinyurl and Ter Scott”
 
 and “Bitly and Ter Scott”
 
so when these images eventually make it on the web and people are searching for Tinyurl and Bitly, in the images part of Google (or other search engines) they might find these that also include my name linking to my blog post. Cha Ching and Voila, more more money from more web traffic!

In my earlier blog post (as I’ve also done here) I’ve linked the pictures to my web improvement course page (just click on the pictures above to see what I mean) on my terscott.com site so that when people click on the pictures within my blog, they can learn more about creating web traffic for their websites and blogs.

Make it a great day!

PS. In an earlier blog post, I mentioned how you can shorten long addresses. My blogability (TM) "system" is available now as a Kindle Book. You can click on the picture below to get to Amazon or click on this (long) link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ter%20scott%20blogability. This is a great opportunity to show you that by going to tinyurl.com and placing such a long link into their box and translating it, I got a much smaller link:

TinyURL was created!

The following URL:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?u rl=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ter %20scott%20blogability
has a length of 102 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 26 characters:
