Filename<\/strong> &#8211; The name of your image or any file you upload on the website<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>2. the ALT tag<\/strong> &#8211; A tag that tells a search engine about the image<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When you upload any image to your website make sure you have given a relevant file name to the image. For example, rather than using 123.jpg use SEO tips.jpg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Sometimes your image doesn&#8217;t load when Google is crawling your website at that time ALT tag plays a key role to tell Google what your image is all about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Best practices:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Use targeted keywords in the image name and ATL tags.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Don&#8217;t forget to give the source name of the image if it doesn&#8217;t belong to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If you are using <a href=\"http:\/\/partner.canva.com\/jWRXAn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canva pro<\/a>, then you can get access to thousands of images for your blogging needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"11_Use_trusted_outbound_link_to_improve_your_domain_trust_rank\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">11.
