Increase your blog's traffic using optimized images

optimize

Optimized images is a great way to drive a lot of traffic into your blog. Most of the articles contain images and without them your articles will look dull and boring. So creating articles with images opens a new world which could generate a ton of traffic from image based search engines like Google, Bing images. So here is my point if you want to make more traffic from images you need to know how to optimize your images.

 

Let me explain :

For instance think Google comes across this following image.

Usually we use image tag for images (<img>). So in this case the search engine only gets the url of the image and no other additional information is passed from the image to the search engine.

Now all we can say about this image is that it is an image of a car but the search engine will not recognize it as a car unless we say so. We have to give some additional information to the search engine regarding your image. Hence we have to give a description tag to the image for better understanding of images by search engines.

Use exact images

If you are writing an article about bikes just look for the best and exact image which suits your article. Choosing the content related image is the key to drive more traffic. As I told you an article without images will be boring and might annoy many of the users.

Choosing the correct name for you image

Choosing the exact name for your image will help you to optimize your images even further. You need to change the file name so that you can target the keywords. These keywords should match your file name. For example: if you’re trying to use the keyword as "bike" but many people usually will name their images as 1324.png,1234.jpg etc. this is absolutely wrong. You need to rename it as bike.jpg for best results.

Use alt tags

Alt tag is used as an alternative to image. Some text will be displayed instead of images for slow connections. Actually it is useful for visitors and search engines. Alt tag should also contain keywords which describes your image to the best. Therefore alt tags are really important and this is how you should add it.

<img src="sport-car.jpg" alt="Sport car" />

Here is how you add alt tag to your blogger images.

• Create a new post.
• Add an image as usual.
• After adding the image, click the properties as shown in the image below.

• Click on properties and add the title text and alt text (keep an eye on the keywords).

Use anchor text

In case if you are linking your image to a text or phrase, you have to use anchor text that includes keywords which describes your image. This can be similar to description text used in alt tags.

Yep, that's it. I hope you'll optimize your images for better search engine results.

One more thing keep your image size as low as possible it will help you a lot in improving your sites loading speed. If you have any other tips regarding this topic please don't forget to comment it below.

Always try to include high-paying related keywords in your content which will increase your revenue. Include other links also (page links from your own blog/website, back-links links etc) because too many ads will annoy many visitors so include page-links with in-text ads. So keep your content strong this will help you to improve your traffic and the CPC of your ads.

Add more websites/blogs

Infolinks ads placement control

Make use of this feature its very useful. Infolinks in-text ads provide a maximum of 12 links per page , so each in-text ad link counts. This placement tags enables the publisher to control which areas of your web page will display infolinks in-text ads and which areas will not. Removing your ads from your sidebars gagets and header will help you save a few links so that you will get more ads in your content and this will increase your click on ads.
 

One more thing if you are a blogger reduce the number of posts displayed per page.

For example, you have 10 posts per page your in-text ads will be scattered all over the page this will reduce your page views and clicks for sure. On the other hand if you have 3 to 5 post per page you will have at least 3 in-text ads per post. If you are desperate reduce this to 1 post per page but you might loose some of your visitors.The result is more ads and more clicks.

Search widget

Matching your in-text ads link color

There is an option on the right side of the customization wizard to set your site's text and background colors to see how your ads will appear on your page.

Don't do anything crazy like setting your in-text links color to the background color of your page so that no links are visible but they are still there and asking the visitors to find the hidden link below which has a surprise in it and things like that. 

Use single uderline 

Set your in-text links to have single line rather than a double line to increase your CTR but infolinks serves better paying ads with double underlined keyword. You can set the highlighted links on you page to have single or double line as you wish. 

Maximize the links on your page

Set the links per page to the maximum for best results (more ads more revenue). Infolinks recommends to set the maximum number if links per page to 13 to get the feeling of ads on your page. Try to limit your links per page to certain level if you have less content and if you have more content to optimize , you can set it to largest. This will increase your revenue.

How did you make so many facebook likes in this short time ?

My friends always ask me --

How did you make so many Facebook likes in this short time?

Here is my answer like for like. 

I was really curious in the beginning, searched many websites and found many websites where you could make tons of Facebook likes but none of them really went well. Technically speaking it was an utter disaster, here is one example - registered a site named social media explode (please don't register with this site it’s a waste of time) and I got like 4 to 5 likes a day after wasting hours in front of my PC. 

I was stuck with that site and had no other option. One fine day an anonymous messaged me -- " I know you are using social media explode, if you need Facebook likes faster register with like for like ". I thought it was a spam in the beginning and was not in a mood to pay attention to all these kind of stuff. After a week or so I started getting negative coins (coins system is used in social media explode to get Facebook likes) in my social media explode account and finally I deactivated my social media explode account. HURRAY! What a relief.

 

It was time for plan B, I registered with like for like as the anonymous said.

Here is the main part ~

This site uses credit system, you won't believe me I got likes almost instantaneously. You can allocate the credits as you wish, for example if you allocate 10 credits for you Facebook page you will get a new like in less than a second. Once all the credits are used up the system will be paused.

For getting credits (credits = Facebook likes) you have a wide variety of options such as website views, YouTube likes, Google + likes and so on.

Here is one important thing : DON'T use your main Facebook account use a fake or alternate account if possible , because will probably like all the pages in the site for credits and your news feed or page feed whatever will contain all rubbish from those pages you liked so better use a fake account.

LIKEFOR LIKE: Every time your content gets liked, followed, viewed, subscribed, +1, you lose credits. If you run out of credits, you will no longer receive promotions. You can always earn more credits on our earn pages or refer a friend to collect bonuses.

HERE IS A GUIDE ON HOW TO USE LIKE FOR LIKE FOR FACEBOOK LIKES: 

• Register using an email address. 

• Login using use username and password.

• In the menu select Facebook pages under manage pages. 

• Enter you Facebook URL in the URL box and description (Facebook page title) in the description box.

• Allocate the credits for your page: Here is how it works – users always goes for higher credits that is if you allocate 10 credits for your page it will be shown first with high priority and if that user likes you page he/she will get 10 credits. So when you allocate higher credits for your page it gets likes faster and if you assign lower credits you will get likes slower. 

• To earn credits go to social media exchange in the menu and select facebook likes.

• You will see many Facebook page with like button. Click on the like button, it will open a corresponding Facebook page (pop-up) and finally hit the like button. Close the page manually in order to credits.

• Keep on doing this and earn more credits. (Try others alternatives for credits also like YouTube views, Google + likes, and so on. 

• Finally check your Facebook page for results.
