How To Add ALT Tags To Images
Posted on April 17, 2010
How To Add ALT Tags To Images, is it worth it when it comes to search engine optimisation? I feel the answer is still, like it was 5 years ago, a resounding YES. Here is why:
- If somone of looking for a product like Sukin Moisturiser they are unfamiliar with visually, they are likely to do a Google images search to search for it. If you stock that brand and had SEO tweaked your alt text within the image there is a pretty good chance your image will be found in a Google image search
- Visually impaired web users have special browsers that read out text if there is no alt text, the browser can’t add to the user’s experience. Visually impaired users should definitely be able to get the gist of images like the rest of us, so take a few minutes and write some descriptive alt text
- Ranking are important to every business so even a little can go a long way, get you alt tags right for if it only make 2% difference over a year, it is still a difference & it’s FREE
