Alt Tags – Images

Say we have a picture of a flower focused in on it but you can see blue sky and lush green grass.
If this was an image on a site, tag it with the colours of the image, location, whats happening etc. Your not really limited on how many charachters you can put but remember dont stretch yourself

By doing this you are then available to be found on google image search or any other search engine image search, and thats the point. To put yourself out there as best you can.

The tag’s you use for your images, they are description words for search engines to use and help with user interface when they are told to appear on a web page, such as tooltips. They are also used in services such as flickr, photobucket. The services provide a user friendly version of alt tags within their administration.  In Part 3, tags are brought up for you again.
