It is well known that search engines never identify the images, sound effects, flash effects or movies. It only identifies the web page through description and keywords given to the page. After the reading these available information search engine index any website accordingly. But that does mean that
SEO professional ignore images or visual effect for SEO. It can be used to SEO. To have a better SEO work we should use each and every elements of website in order to
get top 10 in Google or any other search engine. Need is you have to follow all the steps and not skipping any steps.
Images, Animation and MoviesYou cannot think about the website without image, Flash Effects, or Movies. These are added to beautify the websites. Very beautifully decorate website is always prefer by the user. So, it is important to add all these elements in websites. Many times beautifully decorated website is not visible to user because it is not SEO friendly, and stayed in shadow. The reason behind this is that search engine is not identify this specail effects.
All this elements are loved by users, because this type of websites are interactive with lots of fun. And once you added a flash to website then it is possibility of getting more traffic to website. But we all know that search engine is still unable to identify these special effects. So, all efforts will be waste if search engine will not websites. To beautify the website, do not use the dupe contains because dupe are always hated by users and can get a legal notice from the owner.
You can use this element in SEO by giving the <alt> tag to the image, flash effects or movies. “Alt” is like a description for them. Through that description spider find out the image, movies and also use that information to indexing.
To understand more, use following example for that –
Suppose image is related to some sport event that tell story about - ‘X’ defeat the ‘Y’ in final match of ABC tournament, then you can add “alt” as – “X won the final match with Y in ABC tournament”.
So, for that HTML code will be - <img src= “x_defeat_y_in_abc_tournament” alt= “X won the final match with Y in ABC tournament”.
Do not add much words in “ALT” tag, it put bad impression on spider and may be spider rectify it as manipulation of keywords or extra ordinary stuffing.
Same thing will follow for animation or movies.
Second best thing is that if browser is set with special setting like blocking of image downloading or due to some reason image is not downloaded then “ALT” tag is visible for the user and through that they can judge about the unloaded image.
We are hoping that search engine introduce such technology which identify all the elements of the webpage and indexing method become smarter then what we have now. This is rumor that Google is trying to introduce such technology by introducing the “.swf” format file, new type of metadata. But till that use this tricks.
Frames
Old days frames are widely used to design the website, but now days it is just in tutorials. Right now designer have other choices to decorate website, which is better then “Frames”. If still want to use the “Frames” then remember to add meaningful description in the <noframes> tag. If you are a starter then it is advisable to you that take help from designer.
JavaScript
HTML is not having that much capability to secure any website, so, to prevent that people are using Java of PHP to secure or enhance the websites. But search engine skip the Java Scripts. If you have the Java Scripts in HTML format then also it is not sure that spider will identify it. So, use the <noscript> tag that allows to run alternative script in browser. But use it with proper manner. This concept is so vast that it cannot be explain all the things in three to four lines. And if you are not familiar with these scripts then take help from who know all these languages very well
