How do you go about optimizing a site that is 90% graphics based with very little text? I want to start an e-zine but I don't know how to optimize the site... should I add alt tags for all of the images? (with a long description...) Thanks
Yes - add text to all of your alt tags, but no don't spam your alt tags with long desciptions. can add content to the bottom footer area of the page - it's also a good way to get better internal linking and anchor texts if you hyper link in the paragraph.
Thanks for the tips So how much text is too much for alt tags? I'm assuming I can't paste the whole article in the alt tag.... So in general graphic heavy sites rank lower in SE than fully text based sites right?
just a small description is enough, not longer than a sentence and don't just put a string of keywords in your alt tags
