Image TAGS are a great place to “plug” in some of your keywords but be careful not to use too many images on your pages. Why? Too many images can slow loading process of your page to appear. Your visitors don’t want to wait, and WON’T, if you have packed too many images onto a page. They will move onto your competitors, getting what they came looking for, information, and NOT images.

I use FrontPage to create my pages on my web site; however, FrontPage DOESN’T automatically include all information you should have in your Image TAGS that will aid in a quicker loading time. Nor does it place YOUR keywords in your Image TAGS. You have to take extra steps to insert them.

Let’s look at what a basic Image TAG looks like behind scenes in HTML:

()

NOTE: .imagetype is format, such as .jpg, .gif, or .tif that image was saved as. These are abbreviations for compression formats for graphics that help make small file size. .jpg is good to use for photos or graphics without text, and a .gif is wonderful to use for a tape or book cover that has text, such as title, that you want your visitors to be able to read.

Your images are placed in a folder or directory in FrontPage, usually called Images; although I renamed mine PICS. You should also name your folder or directory on your web host SAME. This consistent naming of folders will help save a lot of time and hassles.

So now I have another element in my code. It looks like this:

These companies have explained that our company would create portal, optimize and market it. After doing so they would provide clients/content for portal. The company would charge clients to be placed onto one of these high-ranking portals and in return pass a fee along to our company.

At first glance, this doesn't sound like a bad idea. However, I cannot help but wonder how much of content/clients would be affiliate links of company and useless Spam? Ethically these so called portals are starting to sound like an optimized "link farm" or "FFA" page.

Furthermore, based upon industry research and analysis we are aware at how much search engines do not like sites that consist of nothing more than useless Spam and affiliate links.

Proper search engine optimization and marketing takes hours of research and hard work if it is to be done correctly. Let's face it folks our reputations are at stake here. Do we really want our company name associated with a portal that could possibly be banned by search engines?
