Image Tags
A great way to add more keywords to your site, is to name the images on the site using keywords.
The best part about doing this, is it does not change anything at all about the appearance or
function of your site. To get the biggest benefits quickly, rename images that are used throughout
your site.
For example: if you have a graphic menu with buttons, try to add keywords into the image file
names (if you have an image named button1.jpg, change it to keyword_button1.jpg for example.)
Important!
Make sure you update your HTML code to display the images with their new file names, especially
when changing things like menu buttons or header images which may display on more than one page
of your site.
Images on Example Site Page Before::
button1.jpg
button2.jpg
button3.jpg
image1.jpg
Images on Example Site Page After::
exotic_plants_landscaping_home.jpg
exotic_plants.jpg
exotic_landscaping.jpg

Linked text
This refers to any text on the page that is hyper linked. An easy way to accomplish this, is to use a
standard text link menu on every page of your site that uses your keywords for the different
sections. Try to keep this in mind when linking to pages, especially internal links (links to other
pages on your own website, discussed in more depth in the next section).
