How Your Website Pictures Can Gain You Top Rankings

How Your Website Pictures and Online Videos Can Gain You Top Rankings


Here are two things you can do easily that could get your site listed on the front page of Google's search results quickly. I have seen it work in a matter of hours.

#1. Put up a video (or several videos) on http://www.youtube.com/ and include your URL and keywords in the description and Title. This is the technique that I have seen land a site in Google's top 10 within a matter of hours. Remember, Google likes video (after all, they paid 1.6 Billion dollars for YouTube recently).

If you have never posted a video on YouTube, go to YouTube's website and their instructions will walk you through everything.

#2. Be sure all of the images on your site have Alt. text in the link to the picture and have your keywords in the Alt. text. Google is showing a lot of images in their search results now.

Most people don't use either one of these techniques. That's what makes them so useful to the webmasters who do use them.
