anyone knows if putting tag in HTML that links to image that is hosted in another domain adds to the ranking of the second domain anyhow?
January 11, 2010 at 7:09 pm #807301AnonymousInactiveIt’s doubtful that would count as a link to another website as SE’s are mostly looking for sorts of links. You may not want to pull images hosted on other servers however since those webmasters can move images, change them, or even tell their server not to allow externally linked images.

If I understand what you trying to do, you are creating a link per say, and if you do image hosting, you will get a ton of links, and better PR. Is a good way to get traffic, but will be almost no conversions.
January 11, 2010 at 7:23 pm #807306Sonja C.Memberyes but this is why I ask, maybe it’s a way to get ranking, since everybody knows about tags, but what about tags?
to me it makes sense that a page that presents image that sits in another domain will contribute to it’s ranking, but I don’t know if Google actually does this… I thought maybe someone knowsJanuary 11, 2010 at 7:26 pm #807307Sonja C.Memberit’s not for conversion, it’s for PR of a domain,
let’s say that I have domain called “seo.com” and in it I put one image (jpg file for example)
and in other web pages I put HTML with img tags that show this image
will this higher the ranking in the domain seo.com in a way?January 11, 2010 at 7:38 pm #807310Vpoker_BrazilMemberI have not seen PR use this as a factor, and I would “assume” it would not, but have not done extensive testing to rule it out 100%. Maybe we should get a “CAP Labs” section to test things like this. Would be fun….If you like I would be willing to do a test with you and see.
January 11, 2010 at 7:51 pm #807312Sonja C.Memberit’s a good idea to have a cap lab and I’ll definitely contribute to it
and sure, if you can test it and tell me what you found out, it’d be greatJanuary 12, 2010 at 4:58 am #807328baitemanMemberhi lauferb,

Sure it will, if that image tag is wrapped in an tag, which will provide link juice to the destination page. How much link juice will be determined by the PR of the source page, obviously. It is doubtful that an image reference to an alternate domain, by itself, will do anything at all for you, SEO-wise.
January 12, 2010 at 2:58 pm #807347Sonja C.MemberJanuary 12, 2010 at 3:14 pm #807349arturs.vitolsMemberI was under the same impression as seodude stated. I usually tag images, but thats to help contribute to the focus on the page and to possibly rank in an image search.
I am actually running a test on this as we speak. We all know that google counts the first link on a page, so set up two test groups, one I used anchor text to link to a page and then linked an image to the same page, in the second group I linked the image and then after it put a link with anchor text.
Test Group 1:
(Anchor Text Link) (image link with tag)Test Group 2:
(image link with tag) (Anchor Text Link)I’m hoping to be able to track any PR shift and increase in ranking for the obscure terms based on this test.

interesting to know what you will find out…
p.s what do you use to check it? you know Market Samurai?
seodude, how can you know for sure that IMG tags all by themselves are not passing PR ever?January 15, 2010 at 4:14 am #807446baitemanMemberLauferb, well I’ve been in SEO for over 8 years and have done a lot of testing, read a lot of articles and have been to many conferences. I’ve never heard one person state or prove that img tags can pass pr.
