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,

Url-delimiter vs. SEO
Hi all, Our customer is building a new homepage. Therefore, they use pages, which are generated out of a special module. Like a blog-page out of the blog-module (not only for blogs, also for lightboxes). For that, the programmer is using an url-delimiter for his url-parsing. The url-delimiter is for example a /b/ or /s/. The url would look like this: www.test.ch/de/blog/b/an-article www.test.ch/de/s/management-coaching Does the url-delimiter (/b/ or /s/ in the url) have a negative influence on SEO? Should we remove the /b/ or /s/ for a better seo-performance Thank you in advance for your feedback. Greetings. Samuel

Good job! This URL received an grade A ?
What does this mean ? This page still ranks very bad at Google. So what does it mean that it recives a grade A ?Also, if this URL recives Grade A. It should clearly be optmizied very good on the Keyword. Stil its on page 9 in google. That is very very low on this keyword. Alot of bad blogs, foreign pages, pages without the keyword in heading, pages without any good content etc. rank better.Does this score have anything to do with ranking on google ?Something is clearly wrong with this page. The on-grade tool wont tell me what that it is. And probably dont understand either, since it gives A. Is there anywhere I can check this page on what is wrong with it ?http://www.butikksiden.no/archives/5-toffe-canada-goose-jakker and Canada Goose jakker Re-Grade Pa Good Job!

Why is my domain authority lower than my competitors ?
I am totally confused with the information that I am getting from the Site explorer. My domain authority is 26, while my competitor's is 29. I am confused because every one of the factors that SEOmoz uses to determine our domain authority has higher rankings for my website. My SEOmoz rank is higher, my external followed links is higher, and so forth. The only factor that my competitor has with a greater ranking or number is that they have more internal links. I used the link metrics portion and added their URL to see all of this information. Can anyone tell me how this is possible ? My domain is www.Prickettproperties.com and one of the ones that I am looking at comparing is www.liquidlifevacationrentals.com
