What Are Some Important Image SEO Tips You Should Know?

I think all of us does this. When you\’re creating a new blog post or web page for your site, you want to put a shiny new image to spruce things up, right? Of course! A good image can make anything look better, especially when compared to a page that is full of pure text.
