Simple SEO Tip #1: Give your art files a good name

We manage a lot of websites for clients which include links to other websites. To dress up the links we like to include an image or logo file.

I can’t believe how many times we go to a corresponding website and find logo files named “image.jpg” or “uploadimage.jpg” or “logo.gif”

Best file name practices for search engine optimization:

  1. full company, business or group name - example: ringerrglogo.jpg
  2. use hyphens not underscores - example: ringer-rg-logo.jpg
  3. do not keyword stuff the title - example: ringer-rg-marketing-communications-logo.jpg

Just a few simple things giving you an SEO edge.
