6 Simplest Image Optimization Tips You Need To Leverage

dsim image

Adding images such as a photo, an Infographic, an illustration to your website is a powerful way to improve the reader’s experience.

As studies reveal, our brains process way faster than they do text and article including images get 94% more views than those that don’t.

Image Optimization is one of the most important elements that you should consider because a lot of people search for popular images and if the images you use on your blog start getting ranked, then you can get a lot of visitors.

The article here focuses exclusively on ‘Image Optimization’:

Benefits of Image Optimization:

  • You can drive massive traffic from photo sharing sites like Pinterest and Instagram.
  • Improves your blog’s bounce rate and increases the SEO score of your article.
  • Image search has a less competition compared to the regular web searches; you can easily get your image ranked higher with correct optimization.
  • With images, you can serve your contents in a better way and save tons of time in writing the text copy.
  • If you allow and someone uses your custom images, you may get credit or backlink to your site helping to boost your Off-Page SEO.

#1 Use High-Quality Authentic Images

Use authentic images for the better experience of the user and the better your odds are of ranking on related searches.

Pictures can be made by your company designer (e.g., data visualizations, infographics) or taken internally by a quality camera.

Give your clients an insight of your company, or provide a high-quality product image that your visitors will react to.



High-quality real images let you show up in the search results- so show your brand’s persona and attract more people to your website.

#2 Use Right Keywords in the Image Filename

Search engine can’t see images; they need descriptive text to determine what an image holds. All image sources often have generic file names that don’t help search engines decode the image. It’s always important to rename each image that you need to use.

Creating descriptive, keyword-rich file names is important for image optimization. Search engines not only crawl the text on your web page, but they also search for keywords within your image filenames.

Let’s use this image as an example:



You could use the generic name that your camera gave to the image such as DCIMAGE20.jpg. However, it would be much better to name the file: hotel-taj-mumbai.jpg
  • Wrong format: “DCIMAGE20.jpg”
  • Okay Format: “hoteltajinmumbai.jpg”
  • Perfect Format: “hotel-taj-mumbai.jpg”

#3 Improve Images with Tools

After downloading images from Shutterstock or Skitterphoto, you can do a lot with them.

A tool like CanvaSnappa allows you to add appeal, text, and exclusivity to your images, which can improve its magic.

With these tools, you can create a custom social media post or infographic from a template. Other tools like PiktochartEasel.lyVisual.ly, and Pablo by Buffer help you create beautiful and stunning images to help your image stand out.

#4 Choose correct Image Format – JPEG, PNG or GIF?

After choosing the related image, you need to decide the file format. The JPGE, GIF, and PNG formats are most commonly used today for image optimization.
  • JPEG format – JPEG format is best used for digital photography and is the most widely used format.

  • PNG format – PNG is a lossless format and offers remarkable compression. Even if you edit the image multiple times or resize it and compress it, it won’t lose any data or degrade in quality.
  • GIF format – GIF format is popular mostly because it supports small size images.
JPEG format is the best image format because comparatively smaller in size so the images will load faster and you don’t need to edit the images a lot.

#5 Resize or Compress your image

Resizing or compressing your images reduces the width and height of your image, decreasing the file size, and again improving page load times. Because when you upload the high-quality stock images directly to your website, it adds a lot of pressure on your web server to load those images.

Compressing the images will decrease the file size knowingly (up to 80% of their original file size without losing too much quality).

When you have an image in the correct format, it can be resized before uploading to WordPress via tools such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Paint, or you can do it within WordPress itself. CompressJPG.com and TinyPNG.com are some useful resources for image compression.

#6 Create Image Sitemaps

Sitemaps give search engines more information about your website’s configuration. This allows them to find even those images that are loaded by a JavaScript code.

It gives Google and other search engines more ability to discover the images on your site, increasing the probability that your images will be displayed in Image Search results.

Google gives us an example for the URL http://example.co.uk/sample.html:
An image sitemap extension might look like this:


For WordPress sites, the creation and execution of image sitemaps are easy through the WordPress plugin, “Google XML Sitemap for Images,” which automatically creates the sitemap for images uploaded to your WordPress Media Library.

Key Takeaways

  • Reduce file size for faster page load speed
  • JPEGs are commonly the best option for website photos
  • Never use GIFs for large product images
  • Improve stock images with tools like Canva, Snappa
  • Do not overstuff keywords in alt text, make sure it describes the photo
  • Make sure the image is relative to the page
  • For crawl-ability, create an image sitemap
  • Create OG and Twitter Cards for social shares

Conclusion

You spend hours in writing the perfect blog post, so don’t let all that work go in vain by not using the optimized images for improved search engine rankings. By using all the above-mentioned tips in this article, you will start seeing positive results soon.

5 Steps to Set Your Facebook Ad Budget

dsim image

Facebook ads have become an important part of every social strategy. And, if you want to get your ad seen on Facebook, you have to pay for your advertisement.

And, here expecting results from your hard-earned money; you may be wondering how to go about setting a budget?

We are here to help you…

In this article, you’ll learn how to set your Facebook ad Budget for great results.

Setting Your Budget

There are two different ways to set the price of a Facebook Ad:

Daily Maximum Budget – The average amount you’re willing to spend on an ad set every day.

Lifetime Budget – The amount you’re willing to spend over the entire runtime of your ad set.

#1 Define Your Revenue Goal

This is the most key step when calculating your ad budget. With your SET goals, you can find out how much amount to spend to reach those.

Some TYPES of possible Facebook ad goals-

  1. Product sales for a definite period
  2. Generate new leads
  3. Increase the reach of content on Facebook
  4. Increase traffic to website from Facebook
  5. Increase attendance at event
  6. Number of new fans during the campaign
  7. Responses to a certain offer
  8. Video views on a main promotional video
  9. Boost engagement for our Facebook Page
And, you can set a better strategy with a question like this: “What budget do we need to generate $X in revenue with Facebook ads?” setting revenue goal for your campaign ads helps you know more about the planning process and exact ROI report.

#2 Estimate Your Target Audience Size

The audience size is where you really start mining into the cost of your ad campaign.

Because for Facebook, there are some variables like:

  • How many people will see my ad?
  • How many of the target audience will be on Facebook each day?
  • What if Facebook assists ads to them but they don’t notice it?
Facebook makes it simple to romp with targeting options and see an expected reach in real time.


Start by picking out your target audience’s location, age, gender, and language. These targeting preferences will usually yield large numbers since they are quite basic. Go to demographics, interests, and behavior to find better targeting options.

#3 Configure Facebook Ads Manager

Next look at how to configure Facebook Ads Manager to show you the data you want.

First, install and configure the Facebook pixel so you can track your conversions and deliver clear ROI. Once the pixel is set, you’ll need to create a custom conversion.

Step- Open Facebook Ads Manager –> Selects Custom Conversions –>Click Create Custom Conversion



#4 Create a Two-step Ad Campaign

Cost per lead, target audience, ad creative and funnel strategy calculation can have a big effect on the results.

Rather than sending cold leads directly to a free marketing software page, use blog content to heat up your audience before requesting them to submit their details.

You can try two steps process:

  • Send cold leads to a high-quality blog content
  • Retarget readers with your lead magnet
Here’s an example of an ad that pushes cold leads to read your blog-



This second ad retargets blog readers to try their marketing software.

#5 Track Your Results and Fine-tune Your Ad

After running your ad, collect conversion data; go to the Ads Manager to look at your costs.
To see the correct data, you’ll need to organize your columns to show custom conversions.

9 Most Important PPC Metrics You Should Be Tracking



To know how successful your PPC Campaigns are, you use KPIs. And, when you measure your performance appropriately, you wind up plainly ready to exhibit your return for money invested.
So, let’s dig into know exactly which KPIs to use:

1) “Clicks”

The reason of PPC Advertising is to drive traffic to a website, thus, the number of clicks is something which comes further.

Clicks are an early pointer of PPC campaign success as each conversion starts with it. The KPI informs you about number of people clicking on your ad and have been directed to your site/landing page.

While measuring this, you get to know which ads are not performing and thereafter, can incraese the bids on those advertisements.



`2) “Click-Through Rate (CTR)”

Click-through rate i.e. CTR is likewise an important metric and is the number of clicks (within the period being reported) divided by the number of impressions. It is, on average, the percentage of individuals seeing your ad and clicking on it.

For example: Out of 1,000 impressions, an ad got clicked 100 times; your CTR will be10 percent to say.

There could be a number of variables affecting your PPC performance as per the industry; there is not any just right CTR you can look for. The number can be used further to weigh up the quality of your ads, and also, the quality of keywords you are offering on. It affects ‘Quality Score’ too.

There could be different reasons responsible for low CTR likely ads not being so convincing or maybe you’re bidding on an irrelevant keyword.



3) “Quality Score”

“Quality score” is a rank of how related and helpful your keyword is to your ad group/a user’s search query. The Search networks calculate it using an assortment of factors. The higher a keyword’s Quality Score, the lower its cost-per-clicks (CPCs) and the better its ad position.

Search engines normally assess your keywords, CTR, ad format, and landing page experience; the higher your score, the more appropriate your business appears to be to a related search.

Google in recent times has improved its Quality Score reporting by adding three new optional columns to the Keywords status tab, and in addition enabling advertisers to view their Quality Score history.

A quality score between 7 and 10 which is considered as good: means you pay less money to advertise with AdWords.

A bad quality score of 6 or lower implies you have to pay more to advertise.

Your quality score proves to be an important factor in determining, how much advertisers need to pay for every click and thus influences different metrics like CPC and CPA.



4) “Cost Per Click (CPC)”

Usually, Campaign managers start with a set budget, yet it doesn’t imply this is what they will pay through the entire campaign.

CPC is a measure of the price paid for each click of an ad; accurately how much an advertiser has paid on a click to its site. You can measure the metric by dividing the total cost of a campaign by the number of times the ad was clicked in that campaign.

To manually check the cost of your campaign, you could multiply CPC by the number of clicks a campaign received.

There isn’t any benchmark to make a cost-effective CPC as it varies by industry. It helps you determine your budget considering specific goals if any.


5) “Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)”

The average CPA also said to be Cost per Conversion, is defined as the price advertisers pay for every new conversion they make/new customer they acquire.

It is the ratio of the number of advertisement views and the number of successful conversions (purchases, signups, participation or whatever the objective of the advertisement is) resulting from those ad views. Google determines it based on campaign’s quality score.

However, there is Targeted CPA, a bidding technique also applied allowing advertisers set bids automatically to get as many conversions as possible.


6) “Conversion Rate (CVR)”

Conversion rate in AdWords by dividing the number of conversions the campaign received by the total clicks. The conversion rate is expressed as a percentage; for example, if you had 50 conversions from 1,000 clicks, your conversion rate would be 5%, since 50 ÷ 1,000 = 5%.

You can use conversion tracking in your account to measure your conversion rates and ultimately use them to help guide your advertising decisions.

You can also aim for conversions based on CPA goals rather than focusing on clicks or impressions; just using Conversion Optimizer. However, to access to the feature an AdWords account must have had at least 15 conversions in the last 30 days.



7) “Impression Share (CPM)”

An impression occurs when a person sees your ad without considering the fact that whether it has been clicked on or not.

The metric is determined by dividing the total impressions your campaign has received by the total number of impressions your campaign was eligible for. Impression share, in fact, states the total impressions your ad campaigns are getting.

As not relating to the effectiveness of an ad, it gives you indirect competitive insight. If you know that you have 50 percent impression share for a keyword, it’s pretty understood that your competitors own the other 50 percent.


8) “Average Position”

Average position’ is a metric that describes how your ad typically ranks against other ads. This rank shows in which order ads appear on the page.

It informs advertisers about position their ad is shown in most of the time. Google can’t simply give the highest bidder the first position constantly, so they determine average position in view of ad rank.
Your ad’s rank can change, making its position on the page to rise and fall as well, so your average position can give you a thought of how often your ad beats other ads for position.

For example: The highest position is “1,” and there is no “bottom” position. An average position of 1-8 is generally on the first page of search results, 9-16 is generally on the second page, and so on.

Average positions can be between two whole numbers. For example, an average position of “1.7” means that your ad usually appears in positions 1 or 2.


9) “Budget Attainment”

Budget attainment says a lot about how things are being managed i.e. it measures how closely paid search marketers have come to achieving the budget they set out to.

However, the metric often overlooked, is a KPI that holds a lot of importance.

Advertisers tend to over or under spend the budget every month and so, it is hard to bid consistently and maximize results with ongoing fluctuations in the PPC auction. It’s a task that requires ongoing oversight and optimization.
