If you are someone who runs a website or a blog powered by Wordpress you can search engine optimize the images of your wordpress blog by using a free to use Wordpress plugin called SEO Friendly Images.

When it comes to Search Engine Optimization for Images, following two concepts are important.

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.

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.

SEO Friendly Images options recognize two tags %title (post title) and %name (filename of the picture). By combining these two tags and additional words (photo, picture etc..) you can create relevant alt and title tags automatically for all images.

In order to get started, download SEO Friendly Images Plugin and upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder. Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
