Hi all, Is there an alt description that can be added to the image link? Search engines aren't smart enough to 'read' a picture/image - so the text within the picture makes no difference to the ranking - that is where the 'alt' description in the image source (src) comes in to play. This also allows OpenOffice to place the kind of information they want the search engines to rank all within the link - which adds to SEO trust. <img src=" https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27834483/get-aoo-300x100-cf.png?version=1&modificationDate=1331970198000 "; width="300" height="100"alt="Free complete Open Office official download site "/> (The words you use are BEST after a keyword research - after that Google analytics takes place for awhile - I just placed a suggestion here).
When a search engine sees alt descriptions such as 'get itfree' or 'try it free' (the current MS download trial button alt words) - they are missing out on the benefits of added SEO. The search engines that read 'try openoffice now' where openoffice replaces 'it' are small but important ways to add to seo page ranking. You can write 'get it here' on the website, just code the <img src="" alt="something that says openoffice"> I checked some of the back links to openoffice.org by typing the following into the Google Search box. Taking the links should send you to the page that includes a link to openoffice.org(using openoffice.org here - but any page you want to check works). The page has some options listed on the left - but the filter doesn't seem as good as the one you get in Google Analytics link:openoffice.org Nancy Web Design Free 24 hour pass to lynda.com.

These range from websites of individual users, to websites that aggregate download links for many open source projects. Currently, requesting and receiving such permission requires a request to the PMC, approval and then additional approval by the Apache VP Branding. I'd like to propose a streamlined approach where we can give blanket permission, without an additional request, for using a specific logo (the one that Drew designed) for a specific download situation. If there are no objections from the PMC, and we get a +1 from Trademarks@, I'll write this up on the website. =Use of the Apache OpenOffice Download Promotion Logo= Anyone, without additional permission from this project, may use the following logo subject to the following conditions: The logo: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27834483/get-aoo-300x100-cf.png?version=1&modificationDate=1331970198000 [NB. We should move this to a more memorable location] Conditions: 1. The logo may not be modified except to resize it. If translations of the "Get it here!" text are required, send a request to the ooo-dev list and we can provide a translated version for you. 2. The image must be linked to one of: a) the http://www.openoffice.org webpage b) one of the official Native Language pages at openoffice.org, e.g., http://de.openoffice.org c) the download page for Apache OpenOffice: http://download.openoffice.org or http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html 3. The logo must not link to a specific download file or mirror. This causes problems with load balancing and fallbacks and may prevent users from getting the latest version of OpenOffice. 4. Any use Apache-owned logos beyond the above is not covered by this program an must be explicitly requested from the ASF.
