What is “alt-text,” and can I use it to help the search engines place my site properly?
top “Alt-text” is an attribute used to describe an image. While viewing a web page through a graphical web browser, the content of the alt-text is displayed as a tool tip when the mouse pointer is placed over the image. Originally, alt-text was implemented for people with slow Internet connections or text-only browsers. Currently, alt-text is used to help the visually impaired navigate graphical content, and help search engines “see” the images. Using short, relevant alt-text descriptions will greatly enhance your site’s visibility within the search engines.
