| Will images in the Image Gallery widget make it into the search engines as readily as they would simply pasted on a page? | |

The Gallery images are likely to make into search engines due to the fact that they have an alt attribute. The text that is entered as a caption is also duplicated in both the alt and title attributes. It would, of course be a lot better if different keywords could be used in all three! Images dragged onto the page don't exist as far as the search engines are concerned since there is absolutely nothing to indicate that they are there or what they contain. If you want images to be indexed, you need to insert them using the <img> tag. The easiest way to do this is with a widget like this… http://everwebcodebox.com/widgetbox/image/image-insert.html Adding a caption in a text box doesn't help much - except to us humans of course - since the search engine spiders have no way of knowing that the text is related to the image. This situation is much improved if we use the HTML5 figure element to insert the image, alt text and caption all in one "container"… http://everwebcodebox.com/widgetbox/image/fig-caption.html ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
