@alexjames212Oct 27.2014 — #yes ofcourse, Alt tag is something that is inevitable if you want any search engine to recognize what your image is all about. Hence, it is regarded as one of the key keywords in your content and this in turn plays a crucial role in its improvement in SERP's.
@RaymondusNov 05.2014 — #The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).
@deemtechNov 05.2014 — #If you want that search engine understand and crawl your website images then it’s really very important to add alt tags on your website images because Google could not read images.
@brad_jonesNov 05.2014 — #Well structured web pages have alt attributes with all image tags. Well structured pages are likely to be given priority over those that are not. As such, better to have an alt tag than not.
Brad!

Please do not respond to this thread (or any thread) if you are not adding additional information. Repeating what has already been said simply wastes everyone's time. Thanks![/COLOR][/I][/SIZE]

@kensciodirectNov 10.2014 — #The alt tag provides alternative information for an image if your images wont display due to some reasons then it will help.And search engine understand and crawl your website images with alternative text.
@anirban09PNov 11.2014 — #ALT tag provides text alternative for an image, video, flash or any other object. There are many reasons for ensuring that ALT tag is present for every media or object used on any websites.
@mindstreakNov 11.2014 — #The images will be optimized when its being specified within the alt gas whereas i am not sure whether it would optimize the direct keywords.
@anirban09PNov 12.2014 — #Alt tag is that in which you can put a link with some text in form of description which defines your image for search engine.
@jameskamroon1Nov 12.2014 — #ALT Tags are invisible descriptions of images which are read aloud to blind users on a screen reader. Alt Tags offers a brief tutorial on how to properly code HTML for image alt text within a website for enhanced search engine rankings.
@GeorgeZapatNov 13.2014 — #In my opinion alt tag is quiet a important part in seo because it tells Google about the image. Without the alt tag Google will not be able to identify what your image is all about. Therefore, it is very much necessary to have alt tag in your image.
I'm curious as to what motivates a person to respond to a thread with information that has already been stated a dozen times. This thread has a dozen posts that say the exact same thing. Is there a belief that the new posts add something different, or are they confirming what other stated?
I try to only post when I have something new to say, or when something needs emphasized. I don't tend to post something that simply repeats previous posts, so I'm trying to understand the motivation. More posts can help a forum, but more posts saying the same thing really don't help the original poster.
