Image Search Blues

It's my fault. Whether the error is one of commission or omission, it's always my fault.

In this case, what's my fault is that most of the photos on a public service type blog I created about the area where I grew up don't show when I run an image search on Google or Yahoo. This is particularly true of photos I've taken.

The same goes for my writing site, but those photos are just window dressing.

Any sage wisdom, counsel or advice on how to end my image search blues?

Do you use the 'alt' tag to keyword them?

Thanks Bill (great name, BTW). I'll tinker with the file names. Any suggestion on what naming pattern works best? For instance, would naming them after the blog with numbers work better than naming them after the post or is there another formula that gives better results.

Emily, I've never tinkered with using the "alt" tag to name them. But I'll look into how that's done. Thanks.

all you need to do is add:

alt="word word word" into the code. Google uses that content.

Thanks, again. I'll probably spend the evening futzing with my blog instead of getting any real writing accomplished. (sigh - and that's sooooo unlike me )

Many thanks to everyone for the advice. I knew it would be something I either wasn't doing right or not doing and should.

Any other bits of knowledge will be appreciated, like, for instance, is there a particular or "best' spot where the alts should be included?

Melon, thanks for the tip. Very useful and very much appreciated.
