Regarding Blogger Image

With the blogging  platforms today, adding images to improve the look and feel of your blog has never been easier. As more and more images are being used in blog posts, it is very important to consider how the search engines will view your images and the effect that can have on your blog.
The biggest problem for a webmaster is when an image results in his or her blog being placed outside of Google’s safe search filter. This can occur, even if everything else in your blog is completely family friendly. There are a few precautions that you can take to help ensure that you don’t fall victim to this problem.
  1. Be careful when naming your image files. Never use any name though could sound like the image may be adult in nature or oriented toward gambling or non-family friendly topics.
  2. Use descriptive alt text for your images. Don’t just list keywords, but actually provide a very concise description of the image.
  3. Keep others from hotlinking your images. This can be done with a quick setting change within your host’s cpanel. If a search engine finds a couple of adult sites hotlinking to your website, it can result in your images (and blog) being filtered by safe search.
The key is to just keep in mind how an image that you use would be viewed by a search bot. If there is any chance that the bot could get the wrong idea, play it safe and use a different name or alt text. Being proactive with your blog’s images can prevent many headaches down the road.
