Indexing Pictures?
Every SEO will tell you that pictures cannot be recognized by the search engines. If you have a picture of an actor on your celebrity fan web site, no search engine will be able to tell who he is. By using an "alt" tag, you can describe what the picture is about but the SEs will only see the tag, not the image.A new company promises to go where not Google, Live or Yahoo! have gone before. Polar Rose, a company based in Sweden, is building a technology aimed at indexing images by using complex 3D and mapping calculations to add a description to any photo in any site.
If the company holds to its promise, it will affect how SEO is implemented and will add a new dimension to optimization. It would be quite feasible that images will have to be optimized to be better "read". Possibly, the use of color correction and contrast tools will enhance readibilty and therefore indexing. Will a blurred or low contrast image be analyzed as well as a clean and snappy one? How about black and white? The possibilities are endless. Also, will a large company such as Google implement a similar technology or simply buy it?
Stay tuned!
