On-Page SEO for Ecommerce Site With Little Written Content

Hi Warriors,

What's the best way to approach on-page SEO for a site which sells, for example, shirts - and the shirts page shows just pictures of...well...shirts and little else?

And on top of that, every image has the word 'shirt' as it's description, so the keyword for that page is being repeated around 30 times maybe? Does Google see that as keyword spamming?

Is it a good idea to add some written SEO-optimised content to the page? Or just leave it and just do some good quality backlinking?

Thanks for any input.

Abdul.

      I havn't had a look at your site, but I would imagine you have more ways to describe your shirts than just plain shirts.

      Example your image alt="Large Green Golf Shirt"

      Then you can take that image seo one step further & wrap it in a <h2> tag.

      If you have lots of similar images, example Index page, then I would stick with wrapping the image with an <h2> or <h3>, then wrap your main keyword at the top of the page in a <h1> (one per page).
      This is good information - thanks.

    Also remember that on-page SEO isn't everything, if you have a site that has little on-page SEO content, you can always ramp up your backlinking and offpage SEO campaign to compensate.

    Sometimes people prefer to go after more backlinks each month to rank their site than optimize for Google and risk decreasing their conversion-rate.
