Optimizing Your Images "alt"
Attribute
Did you know that any
images on your page can help
your listings too? Each
image on your page can
include a keyword phrase or
two that relates to the
image. This text will also
show up & help those that
may have their images turned
off when visiting your site.
This does not work for all
engines, but it certainly
does not hurt so we
recommend you give it a try
where you can.
What it looks like:
<IMG SRC="SubmitItLogo.gif"
width="10" height="10"
alt="Submit It! Web Site
Submission Service">
Where it belongs:
You can add the "alt"
attribute to any image on
your page.
Tag limits:
We do not recommend using
more than a brief sentence
or two to describe an image.
Tag tips:
-
Be
sure to use the keyword
phrases that you also
used in the copy of your
page, title tag, meta
description, and other
tags.
-
Do not
try to cram a bunch of
keywords into the "alt"
attribute. We recommend
using no more than 2-3
per image.
-
Describe the image - do
not just list keywords.
-
The
"alt" attribute is also
a good place for
misspellings and plural
keyword phrases that you
may not have used
elsewhere.
