Yes, it’s still very important (seo) in 2010 to use the ALT-Text for all your images.
Check the Google Cache of any of your webpages, with images.
You will see that Google prints out the ALT-Text of the image in plain text.
Just like the video says, If you don’t tell the Google spider what the image is, then they don’t have a clue how to position you in the Google Image SERP (search engine result page)
@allbonusbets
It’s really not important If the browser supports the ALT-Tag,
The html is still the same (view source).
What’s important is that you name your image (Alt-Text) relevant to your webpage Title, so that Google will put you in the correct Google Image SERP.
A lot of folks miss out on traffic from Google Images, by overlooking this simple step.
Thank you ! i am new to seo. hope this idea is still a valid in this 2010.
Great Video
Thank you for use full information
Absolutley fantastic, but the person taking the video needs a couple of lessons.
thanks now i do not have to worry have name the images, the alt tag is sufficient for the visitor. But can the title and alt tag for the image together hurt ? some browers do not show alt texts like firefox.
Nice thanks

HURRR DERR!
did the cat shit the ball out?
ok
if my image isn’t a cat
but links to a cats page
title tag instead of alt tag?¿
title tag on images helos?
The cat looks more like a rat.
can use title tag instead alt?
Please extend the size of the ALT TAG so we can make it more descriptive. Also add new TAGS for video.
Image tagging “cat with yarn” is irreverent to a blind user or is it? I can see google stand point from an image search point of view but would it not be better to name the image file “cat_with_yarn.jpg” rather then the alt=”cat with yarn”?
Im at a stand still while i see alt tags as a possible way to inflate your serps, shouldn’t alt tags really be used to to describe somethig meaning full, like a image of storm clouds/heavey rain that would be something relavent to a blind user
Awsome Video Thank For The Iformation
The Best Ive Seen For Alt Tags Yet!
stupid fat fuck
When you write your post and upload the pics in blogger, witch from compose to edit html, not ad the html alt tag to each pic
Does anybody know if there’s any way to put alt tags on images you upload to blogspot (google blogger)? Any help would be greatly appreciated ^_^
The clear explanation is excellent. I am glad you took the time in the video to address avoiding stuffing of words, but to also take the time to accurately describe the image to Google.
Legal, realmente me conveceu.
Thanx Matt!
