      I would like to know If I have a image gallery in my website, what name must I put in the image files? Can I associate with  the my key-word?

      Ex: Post about pizza buffet, and than... the images can have the name "pizza-buffet-01, pizza-buffet-02"? Is it wrong?

      Thank you

        Yep, what you have is good. The image names/alt should be keyword friendly and describe the image. It would be better if you described it even more i.e. pizza-buffet-marriot, pizza-buffet-hilton

          But it's okay that the keyword appears in several photos at same time? This may seem a spam keywords?

          Because there are several situations the same service, with a lots of photos and all of them would be appearing on the same keyword...

            You are accurately describing the images - definitely not spam. The more descriptive you can be, the better (which would also differentiate the file names).

            Having files named pizza-buffet-pizzeria-best-pizza-buffet-1.jpg would be spammy.

              Hi,

              Allow me to join your discussion. I just want to make sure I understand it as it is. It will be fine if I have the following images on a single page? For example:

              Image:Alt

              pizza-buffet-01.jpg:Pizza Buffet 1

              pizza-buffet-02.jpg:Pizza Buffet 2

              pizza-buffet-03.jpg:Pizza Buffet 3

              pizza-buffet-04.jpg:Pizza Buffet 4

              Thank you!
