It was just by chance that I learned how completely wrong I was.
I was researching ideas for one of my templates and came across a nice article on filling out the alt text on your website images.

It made me wonder: what else was I doing incorrectly?!
And could this be why my page views weren’t meeting my expectations?

It took me a while to update my daily SEO routine to the point where I started seeing great results – but it was worth it.
