Homepage SEO Analysis for GAYFLOOD.COM

Help for visitors with impaired vision

People with impaired vision use screen readers to help them “read” websites. If you provide descriptive alt text for images on your site, people using screen readers will know what the images are about, and will get the same full understanding of your site that others do.

Good for search engine rankings

Describing images on a web page with alt text can help the page rank higher in search results if you include important and relevant keywords. Do not be tempted to stuff irrelevant keywords into alt text just so a page will rank well for those words. Search engines can recognize this ploy for what it is: an attempt to game results.

Writing image descriptions

This is what an image description looks like in HTML:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="This is the image description">

You can write image descriptions, or alt text, by writing the HTML directly into the code for a web page. If you're using a content management system or online commerce software package, it will probably have a feature to help you quickly create alt text for your images.

Caution: While some software packages automatically generate alt text, they don't always do it well. Always check the quality of automatically generated alt text.

Choose one or the other

Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.

Be careful!

If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.

If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.
