The danger of course is focussing too much on SEO and ending up providing a very poor user experience. The result is lots of traffic, but no value or business off the back of it. Good article.

Image optimization is often ignored by most developers but as you have indicated, it is nevertheless relevant. In SEO, many of us ignore the finer points of on-page optimization in order to quickly upload content and focus on off-page optimization. Google Images can bring a sizeable stream of traffic with properly optimized images. Fortunately Google has also added facilies like its Google Image Labeler 'game' to assist with relevance of image searches. Ideal activity for recovering Solitaire addicts. A few other image optimization techniques that I find useful is creating links to images with relevant keywords in the anchor text. Yes, you can undertake somewhat of a 'link building campaign' for your image if you feel that your text content is facing too much of competition. Relevant content before and after the image is essential. Also consider the use of long tail keywords in the image name and surrounding content. It may bring smaller traffic but it usually brings the quality traffic for conversions. Lastly, monitor your robots.txt file. As users would have noticed recently, Google's Webmaster tools is giving endless problems for sites without a robots.txt file. Ensure that settings allow access to all folders or your image folder may be given the miss. Once again, great post and great blog. Hi Matt
