The easiest way to tell Google that you have an image that you want to be listed would have been a Google Sitemap.

However, Google said that they do not accept images in a Google Sitemap…

UNTIL TODAY.

Google Webmasters Central Blog just announced that you CAN use a Sitemaps extension to provide Google with your image information.

Here is an example from Google:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<urlset xmlns=”http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9″
xmlns:image=”http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1″>
<url>
<loc>http://example.com/sample.html</loc>
<image:image>
<image:loc>http://example.com/image.jpg</image:loc>
</image:image>
</url>
</urlset>

For those of us who have recieved a number 1 listing in Google already understand the extreme benefits this position brings.  The aim of this article is to provide you more information on SEO and how it can be useful to you.

First of all let me tell you that SEO is not rocket science. There is no sure formula for success or one magic piece of software for total domination.  Search engines will continue to constantly update their algorithms in order to improve their accuracy and relevance in your market. This mean that you will always have to be on the prowl for new tips on how the search engine works and how those changes will effect your business.

Your knowledge of SEO does not have to be perfect before you will achieve top rankings.  But this does mean that your SEO skills will increase right along with your websites improvement in the SERPS.  For example we know that submitting a sitemap to the search engine might aid your web site to get indexed much more rapidly, but the more advanced your SEO skills become, the more you will understand what to include and more importantly what not to include in your Sitemal.xml file.  If you find the job too difficult or you are not achieving your desired results you can always make use of a SEO Seminar to improve your skills.

When starting SEO for your site you should be aware that the result will not be immediate. Search engines will not change your ranking overnight.  It will take time for you to build authority and content for your market.  Many new internet companies simply get discouraged by this as they do not see the return on investment. Always remember that SEO is a process that will be successful in the long term if it is done consistently.

SEO is a very important process if you want your site to dominate in the Search Engines. As our world becomes more internet weighted, our position in the SERPS will either make or break our businesses.  Now more importantly our success or failoures rely on our control of the SERPS.
