Google now returns search results that product images, videos and other info, as part of the universal search. This means that your optimized image could rank higher than a competitor site without such optimized images, which is a great opportunity to attract attention for your products directly in the main SERP.

How much value is there for an online retailer to embed images on product pages as part of an SEO initiative? I’m assuming the average person isn’t searching images of products they want to buy, correct? On any web page we have legitimate background images and content images, and a host of images that fall somewhere in between. Is it really a good practice to make EVERY image on your site part of an tag instead of set as a background image using CSS? Where do you draw the line?

I won’t go that far with doing all this stuff with pictures. All I am doing in terms of Search engine optimization in regards of the images on my website is giving them a good alt tag an eventually a title.

People looking for pictures on internet are unlikely to go open up your website. They are looking eventually to stole your pictures and not to buy your products.

Well, actually, I might be wrong. It does appear to have some issues when I’m using it on my new blog.

Thank you Roxana. I was not aware that the engines appreciate the caption as they do the alt text. Good to know. I guess i which Wordpress would style it differently on the image.

Will look into the resource links you provided. Thanxs again. This has been helpful and i may write up about it on my blog for my readers as well. Since i’m sure i’m not alone on this issue.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Missy.
