Image titles and alt tags for multiple images
-
I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me understand the best way to optimize my image titles and alt tags for a specific situation.
I'm working on an interior design website and they have hundreds of pictures. each of their projects has about 10 pictures.
Is it best for me to us the key phrase in each title and tag? or is that to repetitive?
here is what I mean:
A project called "urban interior design"
all images are of urban interior design, just different angles and features, so my initial idea is to just have each image title like this:
Title: "urban interior design dinning area" Alt: "urban interior design dinning area view" Title: "urban interior design living room" Alt:"urban interior design living room couch view"
Is this the best way or will it actually hurt my ranking with too much exact keyword use?
Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for your help!
It is just nice to know that I am heading in the right direction and thank you also for the other suggestions to consider as well.
All very helpful!
Now I just have to go through hundreds of pictures and ad those titles and tags over and over and over...
Thanks again!

You want to look at this from what you think your user will be search for. There is a lot of traffic you can obtain through image searches. So if your title and alt tab reflect the search queries, then your images will show high on an image search.
Also, consider pinning your images in Pinterest. I have gotten a lot of traffic through Pinterest for our images, as well as some SEO link value from Google.

Hi,
I believe your suggestion or what you have in mind is good. Your Alt Text includes keyword and describes the image. It is ok to have similarity in title and alt text as long as it is not exact similar. Just make sure all your alt text and titles are different and be as descriptive as possible.

Google is not taking the title I set
Hi Everyone, I have the following website I am trying to SEO www.forcor.com.ar. As usual, the client decided to SEO the website after it was made by a developer that is not specialized in SEO. I am having the following issue. Google is not picking up the title I defined for the homepage. I have changed it multiple times and Google continues to take the title that was defined when the website was launched which was about 6 months ago. I also tried to verify if the title is being defined by some other website and so far I do not find any evidence that supports this. This is the title seen in the SERP (GOOGLE) as of 6 months ago - Forcor S.A: Repuestos Ford - Concesionario Oficial de Ford This is the one that is programmed via Yoast - <title>Repuestos Ford - Concesionario Oficial de Ford - Forcor S.A</title> The funny thing is that Google is picking up the correct Meta Description. Any suggestions on how to get Google to pick up the programmed title??? Another interesting fact is that Yahoo is picking up the correct title as you can see here

Which is better, have our location in the title or have a title that is 66 characters?
I was told by an SEO company that I need to put our name and location in every page title, however, an seomoz.org campaign gave me warnings for having a page title that is too long. Which is better, have our location in the title or have a title that is 66 characters? We have both a physical and online store, so it would still be nice to direct foot traffic to our physical store.

Title tags in duplicate pages
hi there, we have a new ecommerce platform which has just been deployed, and I've been asked to tidy up the onpage SEO. we have employed canonicals across the category and product pages and we now have a nice set of unique product pages my question is - do we need to create the title tags in all of the duplicate non-canonical pages eg www.mysite.com/niceproduct.html (canonical) www.mysite.com/acategory/niceproduct.html (duplicate) Can we leave the duplicate title tag empty and not worry about it, or should we put in a duplicate of the canonical title tag hope the question makes sense! thanks in advance for all help
