Linking to Your Own Images with Blogger Blogs
by

Here is a tip for blogger bloggers.
When you have a blogger template, the defaults often times come with images in the template that are hosted on blogblog.com or some other site provided by Google or the maker of the template. When you use these images, you are missing out on an opportunity to provide one of your own sites some incoming link action on every page.
Copy those images down, and post them up onto your own folder on a domain that you own. Then update the code location url in the template to point to your domain where the image exists.
Below you can see one image that points to my site at softduit.com (this one has been updated).
You can also see another image that has not yet been updated pointing to blogblog.com.
NOTE. above I also placed the image in a directory that had the same name as my blogger blog, distribution business articles. This also helps to give a bit of a file name association and contextual aspect to the image article as it then points out to the blog of the same name or title. So if your site is about royal caribbean, then put the directory as royal caribbean as opposed to some generic name like image-file-xyz.
