Let’s get the party started with…. Alt Text..!! How Alt Text can improve the Google Search of your Blog Image. A simple Step-by-Step guide.

#Promo-Steem: The use of Alt Text in #Steemit Blog Images

Alt Text in #Steemit Blog Images

For those unfamiliar with Alt Text in Images, it is text that is used by Google Search Engine to identify what an image is.

Alt Text can be used to improve a Google Search to rank images higher in its Search Engine Result.

Hopefully this simple Step-by-Step Blog will help a little.

Let’s get the party started with Alt Texts.jpg

To kick things off you will see that I have saved the above slide under the name of "Let’s get the party started with Alt Text.jpg" and have uploaded by selecting it to #Steemit Images.

Text in-between the [ ] brackets

You will see from the above the text "Let’s get the party started with Alt Text.jpg" which is in-between the [ ] brackets is clearly shown.

It is this text that is in-between the [ ] brackets that is the Alt Text that Google will search on and I will come back to this in a minute.

Applying it to The London Cryptocurrency Show

You will see from the above that I have Googled "The London Cryptocurrency Show" and hit the images button.

From the results brought up you will see that #Steemit is ranked number 3 with plenty of images already from bloggers publishing content on #Steemit.

I have selected the image of the Promotional Banner I prepared which relates to the following Blog..

If you right click the image you get a drop down menu and at the bottom you will see "Inspect".

This "Inspect" facility for those that are unfamiliar with webpage / images allows you to drill down into the details of the webpage.

As you will from this above, after you have right clicked the image and selected "Inspect" you will see a window open with the highlighted details of the image in blue.

It is this highlighted detail in blue that gives you the details of the images that Google searches on.

Here is an example of another image I use regularly....

Once again by right clicking and inspecting the image you will see the Alt Text used.

Try it on the above image as you read this Blog.

Alt Text in #Steemit Blog Images

By having these Alt Texts in images used in your Blog will improve the ranking that Google uses and thus giving more exposure to your #Steemit Blog.

Try it out, pick up a few Blogs and right-click the image and hit the "Inspect" button..!!

The London Cryptocurrency Show Test Case - Alt Texts

I have used The London Cryptocurrency as a Test Case to use Alt Texts in #Steemit Blog Images as this would give us more exposure in promoting the Show in the coming few weeks.

I hope the above was useful for those that were unfamiliar with Alt Texts and hopefully it will encourage more that are out promoting #Steemit an the #Steem Blockchain to use Alt Texts in their #Promo-Steem Blog Images to improve their Google Search ranking.

Thanks again for reading.
