I am aware that leaving spaces in file names is a no no. but i have also been advised that if i am using an image, the file name does not have to contain an_underscore, but a Hyphen-will be best, and that Alt text for an image can be Free Form. Both the file name and the Alt Text are used by Search Engines???
Is this Correct?
In the same context i have also read (i think) that meaningful text for a Hyperlink on a page is also helpful for Search Engine ranking??
So using this link (the word link is the hyperlink) is not as valuable as using this Freeway thread as the link (Freeway thread is the hyperlink)
So in the same vein if i have a “tool tip” linked to a hyperlink on a page would the “tool tip” also be evaluated and enhance the search Engine ranking??
My problem now is that if you create a file name for images using the hyphen to separate words, FWP then erases them when you import the image, so now you are back to a string of letters which i am not sure the search engines can correctly decipher, or do they even try ?
I just tested this before i posted and it worked for me. Now if you are using the image elsewhere then FW helpfully will use the other image resource with its original name.
Try copying the image and save it with slightly different parameters (so it is not exactly the same) and reimport as pass through.
I am not brilliant at using the Web Inspector, i assume you are referring to the code viewer whilst looking at a page.
I noted the following
background-image: url(Light-Travels-Cover.jpg);
is this what you meant?
In respect to the page i am having issues with, the original problem was noted when i added a logo to the Master page, and this logo is definitely not used anywhere else.
To test your suggestion i have imported the 1st image in the NewsCycle, this is also an image that is not used anywhere else. The file name is hyphenated however when it shows up in FWP the hyphens have been removed.
I would add an image to this thread but i do not know how to add screen shots to the thread here. sorry.
Still slightly confused about this but, img_0289 was the original name of the photo in question, but i changed it to be more meaningful hoping to get on side so to speak with the search engines…
When i made that change and reimported it back into the page the ID changed from IMG_0289 to the new name but without the hyphens in between the words. I was under the impression that the ID was the src file name of the image but it isn’t…
Today i rechecked the Resources and made sure that the image with the new ID was in fact the image i wanted and sure enough the resources pointed to the correct image with the new image name…
Within the site folder the image still had the old name of img_0289… WHY IS THIS???
So i decided to Republish the entire site and upload and now i believe it is OK, BUT WHY DID I HAVE TO DO THIS??? and it is doing what i wanted in the first place the src is showing the img with the new hyphenated name…
But within FWP i still cannot find the correct place to locate what is effectively the src link info…
One thing i did notice before i republished, in the page view looking at the elements within the page and in particular this image it did show up with the new name without the hyphens and in [img_0289] to the right of the new name???
Is there a possible FWP issue here or is it me and my inexperience at using FWP?
