Image naming confusion. Help much appreciated!

[swiftpete]

Hi, I've made my website and am now trying to optimise it the best I can. Something that I'm not really too clear on is title and alt tags for images. I am using webplus to design it and one problem I've had is that I use the same images on a few of my pages. How do I name these images? At the moment webplus gives me an error when I publish the site telling me it's had to rename the image as logo1, logo2 etc etc.

Should I use a different name for the image on each page? Does it matter? I didn't realise how many different things there were to worry/think about with SEO. I'm trawling my way through the best I can though. Any advice on the pictures/tags/naming anything else is much appreciated.

If anyone can be bothered to look at it, it's the site at the bottom of my post so you can see the same few images over most pages, for example the firestone logo and a couple of the roof pics, so you can see what I'm talking about.

Anyway thanks in advance to anyone that replies.

I havent looked at your site, but you could rename the logo picture file name and the alt tags to a different keyword that you are targetting for each page.

It would be normal, however, to have something like a logo reoccurring using a header so that the same thing is called on each page from one file rather than having to individually edit each page.

Hello

First thing is, don't panic!

Second thing I would say is to reflect the words you use in the 'alt' tags with some of your keywords, don't overdo it though - use a keyword in up to 2 images and see how you go, if you have 4 images on one page then use a different one. Even a sentence explaining what the image is, on your home page it looks like you are going the right way.

I don't, however, know if the actual name that you have given the image helps towards seo too, perhaps that can be answered seperately

Image name mostly related to the keywords name. It helps to incearse the traffic and page rank of site.
