Optimize Asp.net Images for Better SEO

Before starting Asp.net Image SEO you should Learn How Search Engine Search for Images, Most of all Searching Search Images from Alt and Title Text on an Image.The ALT text refers to alternate text sometimes you see that a page is not showing image then you will see a text in place of an image that is the alternate text of that image this helps a lot in SEO. You can get lots of traffic from image search engines and Google image search because they search by the name of the image and alternate text so alternate text is very important in all images of your aspx pages.

What are Title Text in Image

The title text is similar to Alt text but it shows when you hover the mouse on the image, you have to put a title and alt text in your images because this will increase quality of your website when someone hover to Image He will see short description of the Image and also search engines search for Title attributes in Images.

HTML Img VS Asp.net Image

Img is the regular tag for image in HTML pages wherein asp.net you have the option to use img or Image control it is totally depends of you but I will suggest you to use image tag in asp.net pages because it is from HTML so it makes your page will load faster then your asp.net Image Controls. Img has ALT text for alternate text and in asp.net Image Control has Alternate text attribute to set alternate text, both are similar in their properties but img tags make your page faster than your Image control because asp.net controls are very heavy and they take lot of time to lot, so as per my suggestion always use img in place of the Image control.

HTML

<img alt=”This is an Example” src=”/images/test.jpg”/>

Aspx

<asp:Image ID="image1" AlternateText="This is an example" runat="server" ImageUrl="/images/test.jpg "

/>

To perform Server side operation in image tag you can use something like this

<img alt="This is a Example Image" runat="server" id="image1" src="/images/test.jpg"/>

While using Dynamic Images in Asp.net

In asp.net Many times we use dynamic images means image path comes from database and file comes from a folder which was uploaded by some of our website users in that case you can use ALT and the title text dynamically you can put their name in alternate text of anything what you want,if you want to put alternate text and Title text dynamically then you can use like this in your cs code.

 Image1.AlternateText = "this is example Here you can fill text from Database";

 Image1.Title = " this is example Here you can fill text from Database ";

Similarly if you use Img Tag For dynamic Images then Procedure will be the same but you need to put Runat ="Server" in your Image code then you can use it like this.
Now you know how to use images for better SEO in asp.net website.
