Hiya Folks,

I've been dinking around with the issue of 'Keywords in Alt Text' lately and found this video by Matt Cutts on Alt Tags. I don't know about you but it gave me quite a bit more perspective on what Google wants out of the Alt Texts in each of your images.

Reckon I'm gonna be up a little late tonight working on a few of my images... (-;

It's amazing how something so simple can have such an effect! It's part of my steps to check before I publish my posts. Thanks for the reminder! Alanna

Good to hear from ya' Alanna. I'm with ya', this is now an intricate part of my process. I'm really curious to see if this'll make a diff in my page ranks. My next little project is to see if I can find more images that closely relate to my keywords so that I can incorporate them in seamlessly!

Could be quite a challenge, ey? Thank ya' for your input Alanna!!!

One of the best and most comprehensive explanations of the use of alt rags I have seen. Wish I thought of that.

I'm with ya' Hal. It's amazing that a guy from deep inside the Google machine can put it in such simple terms. Think I'm finally gettin' it.

Ey, lovin' that pup of yours. That is a precious looking pal ya' got!

Appreciate it, Randy. Unfortunately, I just said goodbye to him after 11 loving years this past Wednesday. Cooper had been with me since he was 8 weeks old.This is my first time without a little fur buddy in close to 20 years. I miss him dearly.

Oh man Hal... I am so sorry! My big 'ol black Kaylee girl's been gone for over a year and my heart feels like it was just yesterday that I said goodbye to her.

You're in my thoughts and prayers partner!!! Sorry for your pain, sorry for your loss!

Thank you Roger... hope your weekend is good back there on the eastern seaboard!

I'm on the east coast.

Ah, that's right... I knew that...LOL!

Very simple and to the point. I will have to go back and make some changes to my images also. I have always added alt tags to my images but I always thought it was just for the vision impaired.

I did not realize that Google used it also.

Thanks

You bet Frank... just spent a couple of hours going through mine. I'm kinda wondering about the URLs now too! I think Jovo did some stuff on it and I'm going to try and find his training on it.

Hopin' your weekend is good!

Thanks for the share. Started watching and will finish later tonight. Jay
