Hi David, I just read your article and as an owner of a new art gallery and I design my own website (quite badly apparently!) so I'm interested in learning about SEO that is specific to image based sites - where can I learn more??? I get so bombarded with information and a lot of it is irrelevant so I would love to just be able to go to one place and find the stuff that I need. I'm also very new at all of this so it's a bit daunting. Your article was great, I just need more!
thanks, Liz

image crawl

Nice post. Perhaps you could have elaborated a little about how to label them. If the label is more than one word long, should we separate them by spaces, commas, hyphens or underscores? Again, whether using more than one word is better than a single label. Please advice.

labeling

Search crawlers can find the text in the Alt and Title attributes for images. By enclosing the attribute text with double quotes, spaces can be used.

I remember writing about search terms, and how people tend to use two words. That seems to suggest two words in the Alt and Title attributes would work as well. Performance may vary based on search engine indexing.

SEO FOR IMAGE INTENSE SITES

This is more of a question on a topic that is rapidly becoming very important to me. Though I've not been particularly concerned with this in the past, my site, osgfx.com has over 4000 event images that I would like to find a convenient way to make search engine indexable. Future plans for the side demand that I do something about it. Is there a good method for this when I post, on average, 200 pictures or more per month?
