I recently came across this site which was quite different. This site apparently uses keywords as image file names on its site.
For example, instead of using header.jpg, they used keyword.jpg this is the way it was set up all throughout the site.
Now, this makes me wonder. Would this make any difference? From the way a SE would spider a site, i'm led into believing that it would improve the site's ranking across all SE's.
Any comments?
The way you name the images are different. Or so I presume. It would be more like topheader.jpg or menubackgrnd.gif
But picture this. If you are targeting a keyword "A", then the images named are A1.jpg, A2.jpg You know, different variations of the keywords.
In this case, you would just not know what the image files would be, since they are named after keywords and the file names are not self explanatory. The purpose would be to name the images after the targeted keywords.
Hope you get the image here? ;)
It won't make any difference. Search engines care about text - they couldn't care less what your image file names are called. Well they could help you with the image searches but you don't want your header image coming up when it should be widget a.
