There are many free traffic generating strategies that are successfully used by many internet marketers. Traffic is a basis of success of your money making internet business. If your website doesn’t have traffic, you will not make money on the net. It is as simple as that. Some site owners use one method to generate traffic, some combine few of them. It doesn’t matter how many different approaches you use, what matters is how much traffic you get and how it helps you make sales. We recommend you always try the new traffic generating methods in order to find the one that will give you the best results.
Recently we made a big research and test of a new method to bring more traffic to your site. As it turned out images can be very effective free traffic generators for your online business. Every day surfers make thousands of searchers looking for the images in images.google, images.yahoo and other Search Engines. In addition if you don’t look for the images specifically sometimes they come up by themselves in the search engines if you look for the certain queries that the images are optimized for. If you succeed to optimize your images and get them to the top of the search results, it will boost your site’s traffic.
We summarized the most important points for you that will help you optimize your images and make them appear high in the search results:
1. Add an “alt” tag to all your images. When you add an image on your website, don’t forget to add an “alt” tag to its HTML code. In this tag you write the specific term that you need it to be optimized for. The Search Engines will find and index your images by the phrases that you add to the “alt” tags. Even the “title” tag is less important for Google than the “alt” tag.
2. Publish your own images. Of cause you can purchase or find the free images in the internet, but we would recommend you to create your own image if you wish to get more traffic to your website with it. It is known that the SEO likes the original images the same as the content.
3. Place the image closer to the title of your website. We suggest you to place the images on the upper part of your page, close to the title. The title of the web page will also influence on the image’s optimization.
4. Add the search terms above and below the image and highlight them in bold or italic. The text around the image contributes on the Google indexing of your image and helps you increase your traffic.

Nice article you have posted here. It’s good information about placing images on your website to get free traffic to your website.
