SEO tool, image tagging-is it possible using iWeb photo album?

Hi,
Quaetion as above really, I've recently started to use the Rage SEO tool to tag my website, I came to start doing the images within the iWeb photo album and it cant access these, I read on here(04/09) its because its Javascript, is there a way round this yet, other than creating a html page for each photo myself? With over 100 photos to show this isnt my preference, as there is a lot more work involved in the iweb construction.
Any help greatly apprected
Cheers
Paul

How long have you waited before trying to find your images? Google can take 2 weeks or longer to list them. Secondly, your images might not return results for thousands of pages depending on the keywords you used. It will also help to submit a sitemap as discussed.
Your Lightroom keywords are for Lightroom/searching use, not web use.
There are free photo galleries you can add your photos to and link to from your website, but unless you're willing to get into something fairly complicated, this will not help the search ranking of your actual site (though it may help get the images themselves ranked).
Another alternative is to create a few separate pages with a single picture on each, a good text description, image name and ALT text, and then link to your complete photo gallery for people to view. This might be worth doing with images which have unusual keywords or phrases (and so people would be likely to return them when searching).
Getting your pictures ranked in Google image search, whilst useful in some ways, can end up being counter-productive as people are more likely to just grab your image for their own use (or ignore it if it's water-marked) and not even visit your website.

  • How to post multiple images in one blog post using iweb

    Hi
    I would like to post multiple images in a single blog post. When ever I add a second or third image in the "entry" section of iweb, it does not show up in the blog post on the homepage of the blog. does anyone know if it is even possible to have multiple, separate images in one post, and if so, how.
    Here is a link to my blog: http://www.hoopography.com. You can see how there is only one image. I I want to talk about multiple items, I need to create an image in Pages and put them all together. I would really like to break out of the one box (placeholder) mold. I feel so constrained in iweb right now. I think I have done a lot with my blog, but I am always looking to learn more about iweb and improve my blog. Thanks for any help!!!

    what's the url of your blog? I'd like to check it out. I'm always interested in learning more about iWeb to improve my blogs. Mine are: http://www.hoopography.com and http://www.wnysportscards.com

  • How to stop using Adobe Photo Album Starter upon Sync

    Two questions:
    1. How do I stop the stupid Adobe Photo Album Start program from running every time I connect my phone? It takes forever to get up to speed, and now that I have over 1100 photos on the phone it always crashes.
    2. Doesn't iTunes allow me to sync the photos to my hard drive? I'd rather they just get backed up in a folder and be done with it.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Mik

    Photos are in a special area on the phone that acts like any other digital camera (thus you don't sync them with iTunes).
    You take them off via what ever default software you have for digital camera (appears to be that Adobe software).
    Next time you connect....once done doing it's thing, go to My Computer. You should see the iPhone listed as a Camera/Scanner. RIGHT click on it and choose properties. On the next window there is a tab about Events or something like that. Choose it. There it lists what to do when it detects it connecting. Change it to Ask or whatever. From there on out, you will find it easier to use the built in Camera Wizard to just get photos off (or choose do nothing and then you can browse to it like a folder from the same location off My Computer and just copy them off)

  • How to time tag GPS in Aperture - using iPhone photos GPS

    hello guys
    I went to photo trip, now I need to geotag 1000 photos to multiple locations. Everytime I photographed I used Iphone to snap a gps coordinate.
    In Aperture, I clicked,
    Import gps data from Iphone.
    It succesfully recognized the right time and locations and they are displayed on the map.
    How do I tag the photos to time stamp automatically?

    I use an application on the iPhone/iPad that records the track and download the track. In my case, Navionics HD will record the position every few seconds and collects them in a track.
    In Aperture I load this track from the drop-down menu "GPS > Import GPS track".
    Now I can move the cursor along the track and see the times along the track.
    When I drag a photo to the track, it will show the offset between the capture time of the photo and the time of that position along the track. SO I can place it precisely by looking for the position with the least possible difference.
    When you drag multiple photos to the track, the time of the first selected photo should match the time you'll see on the track when you drop the pin.
    The second option "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is supposed to create a track like above, but I never got that to work.

  • Can't view MMS images unless I save them to my photo album

    Something strange is going on with MMS on my iPhone 4. It seems to have started around the 4.1 upgrade.
    Within the messages app, I can see thumbnails but if I click on an image I get a black screen. If I save the image, I can see it in Photos but can't see it in Messages. All MMS messages behave this way, even the ones that I've sent. I've reset network settings, rebooted, sacrificed a furry woodland creature....nothing seems to help.
    Could it be another app that's interfering with it?

    Yeah, after wasting nearly an hour on the phone with Apple, I came to that conclusion myself. I had to put the phone in DFU mode to get it to restore to 4.0.1. It's pretty telling that the 4.1 beta is no longer on my developer portal.

  • IWeb SEO Tool 1.9.1

    I published my site through iWeb SEO Tool and now can't publish through iWeb, please could someone help me resolve this.

    What exactly are you trying to do using iWebSEO?  Most people download and use iWebSEO as a tool for adding Google analytics and title tags to their websites.  So this means that if you make changes to your website in iWeb, then you need to publish to a local folder and then open your html folder using iWebSEO, so that you can re-apply Google analytics and title tags before uploading your site again.
    Is this what you are trying to do?
    If you want to use iWebSEO, then you will need to publish your site from iWeb to a local folder.  You do not "re-import" as you put it.  You are not importing anything, simply opening the html files of your site with iWebSEO and no, if you want Google analytics or to add title tags, then no, your site will not update automatically - you need to add this to your site, or re-apply the saved tags to your site after publishing from iWeb and before uploading.  This is what iWebSEO is for.
    To update your site, you need to alter and update this in iWeb itself and then publish your site to a local folder.  iWebSEO is designed for adding Google analytics and tags to your site and not for updating the contents itself, so no you can't use it for this.  Do this in iWeb first.
    Cyberduck is a dedicated ftp programme that you can use only for uploading files to a server - this is the only thing that it was designed for and you can only use it for this purpose.
    I use iWebSEO to add tags and analytics to my own site, so I make changes and then publish from iWeb to a local folder.
    I then open my site files using iWebSEO and add my tags and analytics.
    After having added these I then choose to upload my site using Cyberduck.

  • SEO Tool for iWeb HELP

    I have used iWeb('09) to publish to the ftp server, ipage.com. I haven't had a problem, until I downloaded the seo tool. Followed all the directions (even added a favicon!), except 2 of my linked sites do not work. They show up in the SEO program, but when I go to publish it, they don't work. I proceeded to publish from iWeb in order to erase what I had done, but still seems to not work. I know there is a "cache" for iWeb, would this have something to do with it?
    http://www.trdesignsllc.com
    "About Us" & "Portfolio" do not work... rest is working.
    Thanks for the help!

    It is likely that you didn't put the right URL in the URL field when you exported your website in iWeb to a local folder.
    I would Publish Your Entire Site from under the File menu in iWeb to a local folder. Open it up in iWeb SEO Tool and then publish your site with iWeb SEO Tool.
    It can also be that your directory path is incorrect. Contact your web hosting provider to get the correct root directory path. Only they know what it is.
    If you have more problems, please contact our support and we'd be happy to help!
    @Old Toad: Publishing with iWeb SEO Tool to an FTP server should work fine without any problems. Most issues with publishing with iWeb SEO Tool are because of an incorrect directory path. The directory path must be correct and can only be retreived from the user's web hosting provider.

  • How do I add a type tag to my enclosure with iWeb?

    I encode my video with QuickTime, manage my website with iWeb, and upload it to the web with Transmit.
    A few episodes ago, my podcasts stopped updating on Podcast Alley. Tech support pointed out the problem: There are no type tags on any of my enclosures.
    From what I gather, the type tag tell you what kind file it is - ie, a .m4v
    I don't have any idea how to add a type tag to an enclosure using iWeb, and I don't even know if its possible. I would think that iWeb would do it automatically.
    Also, how do I change my feed? I originally just used the feed iWeb created:
    http://www.leilajones.com/jonescast/...esCast/rss.xml
    But then set up a feedburner feed - which I now submit when I submit anywhere new.
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/jonescast
    But how do I change the rss feed on my website with iWeb... I love the simplicity of it, but it's so limiting...
    Also, how do I change the feed in iTunes to the Feedburner feed?
    Thanks for your help,

  • Using iWeb 09 to create website for showreel and videos

    Hello,
    I'm an independent film maker and I am looking to set up my own website to show my work on. Seeing how iWeb 09 finally allows you to publish your website to a host via FTP, I wondered if anyone could answer some questions for me - I have googled some stuff but have not come up with any satisfactory answers.
    Okay, so basically I want a really simple website - incredibly simple in fact. All I want to do is have live streaming video (like the movie trailers on apples movie trailer website) for my own films. Of course, I want the videos to be of the highest quality (with some HD stuff as well). I have found a web host that offers unlimited web-space and bandwidth/traffic for a very cheap price each month, so is it simply a case of dragging a QT movie file into iWeb 09, publish it via FTP, and hey presto, people can view my films in high quality on the web? Is it really that simple or is there a catch?
    Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
    Many, many thanks if you can clear up these queries for me, as I cannot seem to find any clear info anywhere else.
    George
    P.S. I will be using FCP, not iMovie, to create and export films. Since they can both export QT files, I presume this will not be a problem?

    George ~ Yes, there's a catch. Your videos will become part of iWeb's Domain file which may make it slow to open in iWeb, make backups and re-publish everything (if needed). Better to upload your videos separately to your server and embed them into your iWeb site.
    iWeb '09 makes this easy if you upload your videos to YouTube: iWeb '09 has a new YouTube widget to embed your videos into your iWeb page:

    If you're concerned that some PC users won't have QT and won't want to install it, I think if you go the embedded YouTube route, almost all PC or Mac users will be able to view your videos — because "videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player."

  • Can Aperture use Iweb pages?

    Greetings All:
    I've got several site that have been created using Iweb. But would like to generate the photo type pages using Aperture and then melt the two together.
    Is it possible to import my Iweb template into Aperture so the photo pages will look like the balance of the site.
    As a side note I want to do this because Aperture will make my work flow much faster and it is much more seamless.
    Thanks
    Doug

    There appear to be two options here, I have used both on a .Mac site. The first is to use the Automator export to iWeb script you can obtain here http://www.automator.us/aperture/example-08.html. This will create an instant iWeb photo album from an Aperture export. I found it is helpful to have iWeb open as the export can hang while trying to open iWeb if it takes a long time to open (mine does). Second, if you are using the flash album export to grey box in Aperture you can publish this to your .Mac site or your hard drive and then copy. In iWeb you can assign a hyperlink to the album page. If you publish from Aperture to .Mac, the photo album will reside in your iDisk/Sites folder where the iWeb albums are in the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb folder. You just need to specify in the hyperlink where you want iWeb to look to find your photo album.

  • IWeb SEO tool question about tagging images: what do others do?

    I've been reading everybody's posts and started to use iWeb SEO Tool to add meta tags to all my pages. (since google couldn't verify my site with html) The page titles, keywords, and meta tags are relatively easy to decide on, but I don't know what to do about some of the images.
    If it's a definite photo of a subject, no problem, but what about those pesky shapeimage5_link0 and shapeimage_1.jpg files?
    What do i name them ? line 1, thicker line 2, arrow? (I'm being flippant here, ... really).
    I've just been calling them 'stained glass link' or 'next arrow link' but that's pretty dull.
    In some cases (for the lines) i've titled them with the name of the webpage again, but with several lines on the page, that tag is repeated, a lot. (And i read that if you repeat the same tag too frequently, your site is banned from google, which i don't want.)
    I thought they didn't matter too much but when i did a search from one of the search engines, the description of the web page actually included shapeimage5a.png or some such thing, and i don't want that to appear in people's searches !!
    So what do other people do about these? How do you name them?
    Thanks for the suggestions
    Elizabeth

    You'll get instructions about the HTML verification file here....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/SearchEngines/Tools.html
    The main thing with images is TEXT. Put a text caption for each. If possible, don't use the iWeb Photos and Albums templates.
    Put a text description at the top of every page with keywords in both the title and text. The spiders will pick up on this.
    If you don't do this, at least put a fairly long title tag in. Make sure the first few words are descriptive of the page so that they are relevant to a page bookmark.
    If the search engines are picking up on stuff like "shapeimage5_link0" it means that you haven't supplied any unique and relevant text!

  • Can't find images in Iweb SEO Tools to add alt-tags!

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to add alt-tags to some images on an iweb site with iweb SEO tools but I can't get it to open the containing folder. I have a gallery set up with 6 categories and, in each of these categories, there are a few images. I navigate to the folder that contains each image (it actually contains 4 - the full sized image and three thumnails for use elsewhere - all of them jpgs) but iweb SEO Tools is just not recognising that the folder contains any images at all! I navigate my way through my file structure and, when I finally get to the containing folder, it hits a dead end and will not find the contents of it. Any ideas!?
    An example of my file structure is as follows:
    RRF
    - Gallery
    - Pages
    - Landscapes_files
    - Media
    - dintonpastures [containing folder for images]
    - dintonpastures.jpg [that SEO refuses to see!]
    Any help would be really appreciated!!

    Photo templates are written in Javascript and cannot be accessed by iWeb SEO. Only images you create on a blank page or without using the photo template (HTML generated). They don't tell you that on Rage's website, in fact I find their advertising misleading in that they claim that you can alt tag "all" images in iWeb. But, it's free software, so you get what you pay for.
