How to Tag Images on Your Website

How to Tag Images on Your Website

If you make use of images on your website, you can use those to create more text thanks to tag for the search engine spider to feed on, by taking advantage of the ALT command for your images.

Here's an example of a standard HTML tag images from my website in The Best of Solo Piano page:

<IMG SRC="the-best-of-solo-piano.jpeg"
HEIGHT=142 WIDTH=171>

Now, here's an example that employs the ALT command:

<IMG SRC="the-best-of-solo-piano.jpeg"
ALT= "The Best of Solo Piano by James Lazzeroni"
HEIGHT=142 WIDTH=171>

The addition of the ALT command creates a text description for your images. To see this effect on any web page, move your mouse pointer over the images and if you see a text area float over the images, you know the ALT command is in use.
A few search engines will read that ALT information as it gathers information about your website.
