In alt tag of a image can we use #hashtag or domain.com ? Is that good SEO or not allowed ?
-
Some of the Google Search shows a title has a hashtag of an article, which contain keyword and while tweeting them, the title which has a hashtag automatically very good used for getting traffic to the blog.
And other one, can we use the hash tag inside the alt attribute ? Or our domain name with .com in it. Like Google.com or #Google ?

Sri,
What I am saying is that this won't be a problem for you. But, I wouldn't do it unless Pinterest is really important to you.

You mean the Google will do it !
Please sir your words scars me ! not a native english person.
Ahh - I see what the goal is. I wouldn't worry about Google penalizing you, however for search purposes a hashtag may not perform as well as the word itself. The URL shouldn't cause trouble either.

In general, I wouldn't bother doing this, unless Pinterest is a very significant aspect of your marketing strategy.

Thank You all, The main reason is to While pinning in the Pinterest - For description they take alt tag for pinning. and # hastag is used to identify in the pinterest or get searched by the ppl.
That's why i thought to add the hash tag - so that users who pin my images from the article will automatically get a search term - which might give me good traffic.
I have seen 500px.com embed code has like 500px.com url - can we add that ?
Or by using these will if get any slap from Google. I am running only this blog for paying my bills ! so it's important for me !
Thank you once again for the reply.

Hey Sri,
Multiple Images on the Same Page:
In a single blog post that has many images, ideally you will want different alt text for each image.
For example, a page of content talking about chocolate donuts might have three images:
- chocolate-donuts.jpg (appropriate alt text would be "chocolate donuts")
- chocolate-donuts-and-coffee-mug.jpg (appropriate alt text could be "chocolate donuts next to a coffee mug" or could also be "chocolate donuts and coffee")
- chocolate-donut-shop-los-angeles.jpg (appropriate alt text would be "Jimmy's donut shop located in Los Angeles")
Hashtags:
Regarding the use of hashtags, I don't see a point to doing this. While a quick test of "donuts" versus "#donuts" in Google image search is showing me different results, I don't think there's enough keyword volume for the hashtag version of any word to both doing this.
That said, you can write whatever you want inside the alt tag, it just won't provide much benefit in my opinion. All of the following are technically fine, however #1 is the only one I would use:
For the same reasons, I don't see a point in using a hashtag in the <title> <em>unless</em> you're trying to target search queries for that exact hashtag.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hope that answered your questions but please let me know if I can clarify anything.</p></title>

It's also very important to accurately describe the image in an alt-image tags to give visually impaired users with screen readers a good user experience. Screen readers literally read what is inside the alt-img tags so that users know what the images that they cannot see (or see clearly) are about.
-
Thank you.
but how about we use 20 images with hash tag or 35 images for mentiohttp Google, what about the images.
I use many images in an article, and use the same tag for different images. Is that right ?
How about adding hasn't agin the title of an article.
-
You could use that but it's not as good as using a short description of the picture itself. The alt tags are what Google uses to determine what the picture is of since they can't actually see the image. If you use keyword optimized alt tags that are natural not keyword stuffed then you will probably also bring in more Google image traffic.
Hope this helps,

Domain name migration
I have purchased a new domain name (b), shorter and more cool than the one I'm actually using (a). Also I'm planning to use wordpress on (b), since my actual site was build entirely on html. So lets say making a migration so slowly. In the meantime I finish (b), I would like to include the name on my cards, and other promos, as well as actualize the new name in all my social profiles. I thinked on doing a 302 on (b) pointing to (a), till the day it will be finished. That day I'll do the opposite, so pointing (a), this time with a 301, to (b). Is this the best way of doing it, in terms os SEO? Thanks

Which domain to use? nichecity.es , nichecity.net or niche.cat ?
Hi, I must warm you that I am lame as hell in this SEO buisness. I just kinda made (not finished yet) my first wordpress site for a female art therapist friend of mine based in Barcelona, Spain who wants to have an internet presence and get some consulting clients. I made a little research through adwords keyword tool and found out "arteterapia barcelona" (medium competence, 390 local searches) is a reasonable niche with medium competence (0,62) but the other keywords are just for people trying to know what art therapy is or try to become art therapist themselves (cursos -courses-, master, etc). Then there is "arte terapia barcelona" which gives roughly the same results (high competence -0,72-, 390 local searches). She is not ready yet to offer courses and anyway I thought I would focus on organic positioning her with keywords "arteterapia barcelona" and maybe "arte terapia barcelona" but do a multilngual website as it is an added asset for customers. My guess is people who look for an arttherapist in Barcelona use these keywords: either "arteterapia barcelona" or "arte terapia barcelona" (in english "arttherapy barcelona") as "arteterapeuta barcelona" (in english, "art therapist barecelona") gives NO RESULTS whatsoever ¿??¿? So I (maybe a mistake to start with) got some free webspace from 000webhost.com and the free domain arteterapia.hostoi.com , installed wordpress and built a website from scratch with a variation of twenty eleven wordpress theme. When I realized arteterapia.cat was still available I kinda panicked and bought it right away (maybe a mistake). But as I want to organically position arteterapia AND barcelona I bought arteterapiabarcelona.es and .net (com is not available). The thing is, I don't know which one to use or them all. Frankly, I don't know where to start. Should I try to position each page separately? Or just alternate using "arte terapia" and "arteterapia" throughout the site? Should my priority now be to choose one of these (probably arteterapiabarcelona.es) and try to get some backlinks or use them all? Are.cat domains as powerful for people doing searches in catalonia region as .es for people doing searches in spain? Should she use Adsense? Any good tutorial on how to calculate the cost of that¿ Sorry again for the probably lame questions. And thanks. I do appreciate your help A LOT. Miguel

Can SEOMOZ do Local SEO ?
Most of our clients are local but we can not get local or regional (for example VA State or Washington DC) SERP results within SEOMOZ. it would be nice to create custom search profiles based on region (State or County) and track SERP within SEOMOZ. Ranking reports and even keyword difficulty analysis etc. within SEOMOZ are misleading for local web sites. SEOMOZ default site setup assumes every business doing SEO serves all over the US. I think it will be very beneficial if we have a choice to select State or County of local web sites during initial campaing set up at SEOMOZ. what do you think? do you know any work around of this problem? Thanks,

Where can I view all of the Questions that I have Subscribed to?
I recently asked a question about viewing the questions I have answered already: http://www.seomoz.org/q/where-can-i-view-all-of-the-questions-that-i-have-answered It turns out the link was right under my nose (but it appears a lot of people were having this issue). I'm now having the problem of not being able to see where I can view all the Q&As that I have subscribed to. Again, I may just be missing a link that's right in front of me but it certainly isn't obvious. Any help much appreciated!
