To get ranked in search engine you need to get the most of every page element. Numbers of elements are responsible for getting higher ranking one of them is ALT attribute, which is mistakenly known as Alt tag, when there is no such tag in HTML, it is an Alt attribute.
Alt attribute is used to specify a textual replacement for non-textual elements typically images, to be displayed or used in place of the image.
Many times images files are heavy and take time to get uploaded just imagine what the page looks like or sounds like when images are not shown to the user. Numbers of images are used to make site look good and attractive but site owner forget that search engine robot fails to read image files.
Write Alt text for each image that’s best works as replacement. Alt text gets displayed before the image is loaded even if it is loaded all because it’s used specifically to describe images.
Alt attribute increases sites usability level in search engine if one knows clearly where to put them, when to use them and why to use them.
Well friends calling Alt attribute as “Alt Tag” has become so common which is not right, I hope that this post will help at least some of the people to know about Alt attribute and its importance.
