Which is the best way to set to all information in it? For one or multiple images.

For One Image

When you take one image for putting information then you write the Title of image and write subject will be same as title so you can copy and paste there, you can give the rating of image, always give five rating for better response,  do copy the name of title and paste on tag and comment also. 

Write blog or sites name in copyright place.  You can also say Off page Seo.

For Multiple Images

Here your all information should be unique and different as compare to other image which you put. If not, Engine will be more confuse to index every images and if they will not get right of your image, how they provide the right image to his reader, right.

So here, you can put all information as same manner as given in the “For One Image” but write different in “comment” this is an example.

You don’t make sense that this work is complete, how many I tell you.

You can put more unique information on your image such as Author, Data Taken, Program Name, Data acquired, compression, Resolution unit, Camera, Advance photo and File etc.

·       Your image should be high up or top on the page where every body immediately see it and they must not do scroll down look for image.

·       Consider structuring your directories so that similar image are saved together.  It means you may create image which represent you content post that is thumbnails and another full size image, you may keep in same directories.

·       Specify the image size(Width and Hight) of images. Because size are direct effect on page loading speed.

·       The very important point, don’t use without compressed image in your content or article. Compress image work well, they provide fast loading speed. I remove your confusion that which is best compressor tool to do best for compress images. You may use any tool that is more helpful for you so here, don’t create confusion in your mind.

Image Sitemaps

You may use sitemaps for give the all about the information by JavaScript code which is more easy to understand by Google Search engine. This is help to discover the image as soon as possible because they provide whole available information to the engine. You get more information by ImageSitemaps.
