Alt Text for Image Optimization
When
you see an image of a baby dancing, you straight away recognize what’s going on
in the picture.
The
problem is, this instant recognition isn’t possible for search engine spiders
at this time. As an alternative, you must facilitate the spiders identify each
of your images with alt text.
What is
image alt text?
The tiny
answer is, it’s the text that the search engines uses to understand images.
To include it, you simply add alt="this is your
alt text" to your
image alt tag. Here’s an example:
<img
src="baby-dancing.jpg" alt="Baby Dancing" />
It’s
that simple.
