SEO Don’ts: Critical Site Content as Images

When developing your website, it’s easy to get swept away by some of the gorgeous creations your Web designer proposes. But while they may look great, it’s important to make sure that none of those images contain critical information or content. The reason is because the search engines cannot "read" any copy that is in an image.

If your site has large banners or graphics that include promotional or product-oriented copy, the search engines won’t be able to crawl and index that content – and you won’t rank for important keywords.

Keep a cool head during the design phase of your website. Make sure important copy is rendered as text and save the image files for pictures.

Testimonials

  • “Just had to say that Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head about the media and so called ‘journalism’ in his article ‘How to Make More Money During a Recession.’

    “Absolutely brilliant and spot on. They have to fill so many newspaper/magazine pages and so much TV airtime that any ‘news’ item is completely overexposed and hyped up. (Swine flu is a good example.) It also seems that many journalists really don’t know much about the subjects they are writing about. Fortunately, the same cannot be said about Early to Rise.

    “Keep up the good work.”
