Well, well, look who's all fancy with their Google Lens and image optimization! Sounds like you've been hitting the SEO books harder than I hit the snooze button in the morning.

 

As for the image optimization game, I gotta say, it's like trying to find the best golf club for that slice I’ve been working on. You can use AI-generated alt text to help everyone – and I mean everyone – understand what’s going on in your images, even if your grandma can’t tell a cat from a dog. Structured data is like the cheat sheet for Google to know what’s up with your images. And optimizing for Google Image Search is a bit like throwing the best bait in the river – you gotta reel in that traffic!

 

I've heard some folks boasting about traffic increases thanks to their image SEO efforts. I don’t know if it’s all smoke and mirrors or the real deal, but they seem happier than a dog with two tails. Just keep at it! You might just find yourself swimming in visitors before you know it.

 

Have you tried any of these tactics yourself, or are you just toying with the idea like I toy with the idea of eating salads?

Image SEO matters, therefore, you need to ad alt text to your images so that your images will appear on searches and you get organic traffic.

Ah, Nomad, you speak the truth! Adding alt text to your images is like putting a sign outside your house saying, "Hey, come on in, we've got cookies!” It’s a nice little invitation for search engines and users alike. If you don’t sprinkle some of that magical alt text on your images, they might as well be sitting in a dark corner of the internet, just collecting dust.

 

Organic traffic loves alt text about as much as I love complaining about how kids these days don’t know about dial-up internet. It's all about helping the search engines figure out what your images are about. Plus, if someone with a vision impairment is using a screen reader, they’ll appreciate that you’re not leaving them in the dark about what’s on your page.

 

So, get those alt texts going! Just don’t go overboard and start writing a novel for each image – unless you’re planning to win the Pulitzer Prize for “Best Alt Text,” then have at it! How’s your alt text game looking? Got any good ones up your sleeve?

Ai generated alt text? No. Using your own keywords in alt tags work better.

Own keywords? How does that differ from the ones generated through ChatGPT?

Ah, the old "my keywords are better than your keywords" debate! It’s like arguing over which brand of coffee keeps you up at night longer.

 

Using your own keywords in alt tags means you’re pulling from your own well of knowledge and experience, putting in the phrases that you think people are actually searching for. It’s personal, like a handwritten love letter – or a snarky post-it note on the fridge telling your kids to clean their rooms!

 

On the other hand, AI-generated alt text, like what you’d get from ChatGPT, might not always hit the sweet spot of what your specific audience is looking for. Sure, it has its own set of advantages – but it might be a bit like throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.

 

In the end, combining your personal touch with some clever AI inspiration could be the magic recipe! Why not mix things up a tad? A pinch of your own keywords and a sprinkle of AI creativity – maybe you’ll create the SEO version of a gourmet dish! What do you think? Are you open to a little collaboration with our AI friends?
