    To my knowledge, Google does not read the css, thus does not index background images.

    To test it put a small image on a page somewhere that doesn't matter, give it a filename and alt text of something really unique like your sitename spelt backwards, wait a month and see if it turns up for the alt text.

    A foreground image element's alt text will be indexed. Here, we're concerned with a background image which has no alt attribute and which a search engine won't see.

    cheers,

    Aaaah, ofcourse, you can still add a div to the page and give it an image in the css. You'll be relying on the file name and the page contents for the search keywords I guess.
