			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a site the uses a lot of images there are two tips i have for you that will help improve your SERPs.</p>
<p>Tip one:<br />
Alt tags. Using keywords in alt tags is a good way to improve your search engine position.</p>
<p>Example if you are selling a range of different widgets, you could use alt tags keywords such as &#8220;blue widgets&#8221; &#8220;red widgets&#8221; &#8220;round Widgets&#8221; and so on.</p>
<p>To put an alt tag into an image look at the example code below:</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&#8221;/images/bluewidgets.jpg&#8221; <strong>alt=&#8221;Blue Widgets&#8221;</strong> width=&#8221;600&#8243; height=&#8221;500&#8243; /&gt;</p>
<p>Now when someone puts their mouse over the image it will display the text, Blue Widgets, search engines will pick up on this and boost your SERPs a little.</p>
<p>Tip two:<br />
Image names. Using keywords in the names of your images can also help your SERPs, rather than just calling them inage1.jpg and image2.jp call them something descriptive and relevant.</p>
<p>Lets look at that code again:</p>
<p>&lt;img src=&#8221;/images/<strong>bluewidgets.jpg</strong>&#8221; alt=&#8221;Blue Widgets&#8221; width=&#8221;600&#8243; height=&#8221;500&#8243; /&gt;</p>
<p>A descriptive file name with a corresponding alt text will improve your SERPs especially if its a practice you apply to all the images on your site.</p>
<p>Try it out and let me know how you get on.</p>
