Niche Article nr 4 on "How To Optimise Your Niche Article For The Search Engines".

Hi, welcome to this fourth article on how to make your niche articles generated with Niche Article Generator search-engine friendly.
As I mentioned in an earlier lesson of this e-course, search engines cannot index images, only text.
So how can you be sure that search engines count images that are placed in your niche articles? By using ALT-tags. ALT tags are nothing more and nothing less than image descriptions.
If you ever placed your curser over an image and seen a little box appear next to the curser that is the content of the ALT tag.
In this short article, I will explain how you can insert ALT-tags in your niche article to optimise the article for the search-engines.
How to add ALT tags to the images in your niche article.
You should add ALT tags to all of the images of your page for a couple of reasons.
1. They tell the search engines what the images are on your page.
2. They allow visually impaired people using text readers to know what images are on your page.
3. Most importantly, they can be used to increase the keyword frequency and weight of your page.
They act as another way to place keywords in your niche article mini-site and help enforce the overall theme of your niche article.
Here is what the ALT-tag looks like on your mini-site:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="your image description or keywords go here.">
One difference between Title and the Description is the length, your description can be longer than the title, this allows your to REALLY create value in your site without worrying about going over 8 words.
The meta description serves two purposes:
1. It encourages search engine users to click through to your site. - Like the title, the description tag is shown to search engine users on the results table of most engines.
2. The description tag allows you to choose how your site is presented to people looking for your product!
Therefore, you need to create value in your site through your site description. Use your description to answer the question why should the users visit YOUR site.
It includes keyword phrases towards the beginning. - Some search engines use the contents of the description to determine a web site’s relevance.
So your want to place your targeted keywords or keyword phrase towards the front of the description.

You should place an ALT tag including each keyword phrase you are targeting in an ALT tag towards the top of the page.
The image does not have to be a picture, you can place an ALT tag on ANY image although you don't want to place ALT tags on extremely small non-visible images just to get the tag on the site.
This may be considered spamming by some search engines. So make sure you do not do that with your uploaded niche article mini-site.
Conclusions and some practical tips.
In this fourth free niche article we have been discussing how you can use ALT-tags in your Niche Article that will attract the search engines after having uploaded the niche article to your site.
That is why Niche Article Generator gives you the option to insert ALT tags with your images.
Although not all search engines use ALT tags, they are still a useful way to develop a keyword theme on your page.
Just remember, don't over do it with ALT tags. One or two ALT tags for each keyword phrase you are targeting should be sufficient.
