whats is alt tag

alt tags represent alternative text for a non text element. The most common use of alt is within the image element but before we start there is one point to make. the ALT tag does help you get a higher listing on the search engines. It's best to match your keyword where you can but obviously don't over do it cause the search engines don't like that. Also it's important to keep the keywords closest to the front of the text (if that makes sense). IE if you were selling milk bottles and your keyword was 'milk bottle' don't write the ALT tag as "picture of milk bottle" write something more like "milk bottle picture.An "alt" tag is code that is put into a Web site that gives more information about an image on the page. For instance, a picture of a map may have "Florida Map" as its alt tag. This is useful for a number of reasons. If an image doesn't show on the page, the alt tag information tells the viewer what the picture is about.
