    The ALT Tag is essentially an HTML tag that provides alternative text to Search Engines when non-textual elements, typically images, cannot be indexed.It could be beneficial from an SEO perspective when the image is labelled as your keyword.

    I am finding a long ALT tag to be quite helpful rather than just a few words. Make the alt tag text informative and not spammy, that gets the best results.

    Never leave the ALT tags blank, and fill them up with keywords that are relevant and not so off topic from the image

    Well i don't think ALT tag has huge importance in SEO but it make your site more accessible to visually impaired people using text readers. Even if your Website is content rich, the alt tags allow you to reinforce what is highly important, the key terms, within the content.

    Hi guys thank you to all for being here. Alt tags is a part of on-page optimization. it is created for image because search engine can read only text. it can't read image for a website. There for use create meta title, description and keyword for it to tell search engine what the image about? It is called alt tags optimization. It is very important for image optimization.

    Do you mean if you can use the keywords as ALT Tag for the images? If so, then yes. You can insert the keywords in the alt tag so long as the ALT tag remains a good description for the image.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Yes you can definitely use your keywords on the image names. I wouldnt over stuff them with one keyword but spread out your keywords a couple times throughout the images on the page.

    alt tag is an alternative text to your image. as crawler can't read the actual meaning of any image so an addition alt tag can halp crawler to understand what is image is all about.
