Can use my keywords in ALT attribute?

HI
Can use my keywords in ALT attribute?

For example

alt=" keywords + project name"

Help me with this issue..

 

You can use the keyword according to image, So no problem to use the keyword in alt attribute .

 

You cannot use the alt which is not related to Image. And for an example if you own a company name Divakar Solutions and your product is SEO. Here if you are using "SEO Divakar Solutions" as a keyword in alt which does not make any sense.

 

Yes, you can use in related images,

 

Yes, You can use the keywords in alt tags for images which you are targeting.

 

The main purpose of an alt tag is to describe the image. So, if you have a picture of a small brown dog, the ideal alt text should be "small-brown-dog". Don't forget, alt tags are not necessarily for humans (even though it's the text which appears when you hover your mouse cursor over the image), they are meant to help search engines understand the content of the image.

Regarding your concern, of course you can use keywords. Ideally, you should add pictures and images relevant for the content you're adding to your website (which targets some keywords) - these are the keywords you should add in your ALT tags.

Very important:
1. Add a branded alt attribute to your business logo
2. Try to use original photos, or at least, add alt attributes to the ones made/designed by you. If the description is relevant enough, this way, you could be able to rank with them in Google Images results.

Hope this helps!

 

Yes, you can. yet like Lulia Lacriceanu said it's important to describe the image itself.
If you have a cat image and set altext to "racing-car-gearbox" it wont make sense, and the kitten image would be displayed in google/image search as "racing-car-gearbox"

And by the way: using proper alt attr in an image wont necessary increase (directly) your site SEO, it will hit the image SEO.

 

I too accept what @Iulia Lacriceanu says alt tag which is necessary if you have images you can add some similar keywords of your primary keyword too which help for search engine to understand what this image about which gives value too

 

HI Bharath
Thank You For reply, i will only use relevant keywords like : [newyorkhomes-flats in newyork] -->picname+ relevantkeywords ist correct?

 

You don't have to use the picture name.

In your example, [flats in new york] should be enough, but I'd recommend adding an even more particular description to you alt text - how are those flats - cheap, expensive, new? Something relevant.

 

That no decree for that, i think this can add the quality of seo.

 

Some image guidelines are provided by Google.

To answer your original question and just my opinion.

Depending on what the image is and what my project was about, for instance, if I was a artist and painted a picture of a guitar and I took a picture of my work, I would do something like this.. alt=" original guitar painting by briguy" ! Also in the "puppy" example given above, I don't see nothing wrong with using this kinda of "alt tag" alt="Samoyed puppy owned by briguy" especially if I am the owner.
Hoping this was some kind of help.
