I want to change to title of my website (containing my name) from a regular used font to a different font which I downloaded from the web, so I figured I make a jpg. file with the title in that font.

Now my question is: would that make it harder for search engines to find my website since my name is not typed on the site anymore but appears on a jpg instead?
Do search engines use the actual typed content that appears on a websites index page?

Thanks,
Lars

As long as your name appears in the content it doesn't make any difference for SEO.

Thanks!

You mean anywhere on the site, regardless of where?
I have it in tiny letters in the copyright at the bottom of the index page.

I also have it in the title tag, but that does not appear on the site itself, only on the browser tab.
Would that work the same, too?

I don't know for sure, but it seems like a bad idea.

As long as you have your name and details in the meta tags/description, you'll be fine

So, to be sure: search engines don't use any of the actual displayed content of a website but only the meta-tags or title tags?

SEs can't read the content of jpgs as far as I know.

I meant do search engines use any of the actual 'written' content that is displayed on a website or only meta tags/title tags.

Search engines need to index your content for people to find information when looking for certain keywords/locations. The more RELEVANT keywords there are to your 'business'/website, the easier it is to find you.


I build CMS websites on the Joomla platform which comes with all sorts of SEO stuff (page specific keywords/descriptions, Google Analytics a.o). SEO optimized means that each page has RELEVANT content specific meta keywords. For instance, if you use H1 and H2 tags (headers) in your text, which I assume you do, make sure H1 and H2s contain at least 1 page specific keyword. (eg Instead of Welcome!, put something like Welcome to the music page of Santuzzo). Also make sure you don't have any dead links on your site.

Again, unless you depend on your website gathering income from page hits, you don't need to worry too much

I actually don't have any H1-H6 type headers on my website.
But I assume the Header and TITLE tags (which are in the htm code but are not displayed on the site) will be used by search engines, too).
