Alt Text for Image Optimization

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.
