No not your image, but your websites image and presentation to the search engines and spiders.
This is where your Digital camera or cellphone cam plays a big part in capitalizing on search engine traffic. You must not be a pro to take the pictures we need. Your image content is a integral part of this project, pay attention. Also, this applies to the complete lesson in Step #3;
At any point you misspell or make a typo, ignore it, do not correct it and profit from it. You were not the first person to make that same error and there might be a million more behind you.
For each page you will be required to have 2-3 images, .jpeg format preferrably.
After you have collected your 20-30 subject related images, you will proceed to batch optimize them. Pictures should be no more than 50kb in size when your finished.
Then you will rename each picture according to subject matter. For example;
buffalo_mozzarella_cheese.jpg
red_tomatoe_sauce.jpg
fresh_oregano_italian_herbs.jpg
When you are placing images within your pages the following html will be used. Notice the Alt Tag Text--- This is important. Use good descriptive words and lots of imagination. Again I repeat, if at any point you misspell or make a typo, ignore it, do not correct it and profit from it.
<img src="/images/buffalo_mozzarela_cheese.jpg" alt="Italian Buffalo Mozzarela Cheese" border="0">
Enjoy snapping awaying !
In worst scenario, you do not own any type of digital image maker...
There are free stock photo image sites available like PhotoTakeOut.com and Morguefile.com - Remember, it is very important that you give credit to author and website for each image.
This is not the preferable way to go, as original always gets you further.
