Most of the bloggers are focusing on creating content for their blog. That’s great, but there’s a huge opportunity that’s overlooked by most of them: Optimizing images. Which is absolutely easy to do, and the best of all there’s virtually no competition.
SEO Friendly Images is a WordPress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.
ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.
TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.
Installation:
- Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
- Use the Options page to modify ALT and TITLE options.
- You are done, SEO Friendly Images does everything else

For blogger just describe the image from its title like if you are uploading an image of a “cat” then you have to name the image title as “Cat image”
Thanks
