How Do I Add Pictures To Google Images?

Posted by jerry as Internet Promotion

There is no obvious way to add images to the Google Image Search for the beginner. Google Images search results come from the pictures that Google’s web crawlers find on the Internet. To get an image included in GIS, you will need to:

1. Find a place to host the image, such as photobucket
2. Place a link to the photo on a web site using the <img> tag.

Alternatively, images can be uploaded to a blogspot or wordpress blog when writing a page or a post by using the “add an image”.

Additional suggestions to allow GIS to properly categorize your images:

• Label the picture with a caption.
• Use the “alt” phrase in the <img> tag
• Name image file to relate to it’s contents.  i.e., pictures-of-lilies.jpg vs. DSC001.jpg

Getting Google to crawl your site is another trick.
