I use a lot of images on my blog posts. And I take the time to give everyone of them a title tag and an alt tag.

I do mean tags, not titles like P000345.jpg I mean titles that say what they are. The same with the alt tags which are good for W3C compliance, but that is another topic.

Did you know you can bring significant amounts of traffic to your blog through your images? I do all the time. As a matter of fact some days as much as 1/3 of all my traffic is generated from images.

Many times visitors find the images first, then end up as readers to the blog. The same thing happens to me. Often I'm searching for images when I find an interesting site and add it to my feed reader.

You never know what is going to do it. The other day I saw in my Hittail records a search on "empty toilet paper holder" coming from MSN.com Someone was doing an image search and came to one of my blogs with the empty toilet paper holder.

If you search MSN.com for images and type in Empty Toilet paper holder you will see my empty tp holder as number 1. (at least right now)

Here is the direct link to the search. I think it will work and hopefully not over run the blog post window.

Take a little more time with those images and tags. And if you have a Google webmaster account go in and check to allow Google to include your images. It will help get them indexed a lot faster.

If an image is worth a thousand words. . . how much traffic is it worth?

So it over runs the window, at least the link works.

Geez I wish I could center an image on the page. . .
