You can also do this through html coding. Here it goes:

< img src=”http://niessuh.com/images/yuvutu.jpg” alt=”Yuvutu Hot Videos” >

For Blogspot users, you can do the html coding since they don’t support what WordPress have as seen on the image above.

Now, search engines can now read easily crawl your images in your post . This is an additional traffic for you since lot of people are searching for images every second. Just be smart on what title tag you will insert.

    well, just another day of visiting a near by blog. its nice to keep up with someone\’s post really when you have too many interesting things to do, it makes life a little bit boring but saucy on the other end. life is rich, life is full, life is at both ends, you never know which end you gonna fall, same like SEO, duh! LOL
