I was wondering if web crawlers for search engines (google, yahoo, msn, etc) crawl through image links? I know they jump text links and they read the text that makes up the link, but can it crawl images too? Thanks

Hi John, I assume that with image link you mean something like: <a id="udm-button" href="http://www.quomon.com/" title="Default page"> <img src="image/x.gif" width="88" height="31" alt="Accessible Website Menu" /></a> In principle they should be able to, since it's just like a normal link (without the text), but according to this blog entry at least Google don't do it: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/003... According to this discussion: http://www.searchguild.com/tpage27486-0.... they are being crawled, but if you want to help the search engine name the image with the text that you want the search engine to index it under. Like "a-great-news-site.gif" and put the ALT attribute as well on the image tag and the TITLE attribute on the anchor tag. Hope this helps...
