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.

Kane,

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,

Hey all good mozzers - For my new publishing company, would you recommend building on a Wordpress Platform or a different CMS? I want it to look great to user and also allow me to fully optimize it for ranking purposes - thanks.

What user agent is used by SEOMOZ crawler?
We have a pretty tight robots.txt file in place to only allow the major search engines. I do not want to block SEOMOZ.ORG from being able to crawl the site so I want to make sure the user agent is open.

What web page and domain analysis / error checking / testing tools do you use for competitor analysis? sites like webpagetest
Just wondering what everyone is using, I am looking to get as much insight and detail as I can on websites that are not currently being monitored by me... i.e. potential clients. I use tools like pagespeed, webpagetest, loadimpact and open site explorer, google adwords, ispionage, alexa, semrush and well, looking for more. I really just want to rip a website to the tiniest pieces possible in an organized and coherent manner... is there anything out there? I have tried several other's which i no longer use (compete, 4q, woopra, nuestar, to name a few), I am not sure if I know exactly what i want, i just want more.... damn the human condition. lol
