As an affiliate marketer, I have always used pictures to enhance my posts. However, your article has helped me to realize that I need to be more intentional about the SEO related to the pictures. I do not always add the keyword or phrase in all of the places you have suggested. Most of my pictures are original so the picture relates very specificaly to the content it represents. However, it just makes sense for me to boost the SEO of the pictures doing the straightforward things you have suggested. My new year’s resolution…. intentionally work on the SEO or each image used. Thanks! Happy New Year!
