    These are the tags that tell what a .gif or .jpg is. Adding ALT (Alternative) descriptions to your IMG tags is quick and easy. You don't have to do any complex HTML coding. An example of a ALT tag looks like this:

    <img src="images/services-pic.jpg" width="100" height="78"
    ALT="XYZ company's website optimization services">

    If you use images in your Web pages, its good practice to include Alt text for every image that a visitor to your site will see. ALT tags filled with keywords can also be used to boost your keyword frequency and help you achieve better rankings.

    *sigh*

    alt tags are for visually impaired users who utilise screen readers. this way, they know that the adorable kitten is in fact an adorable kitten and not just a blurry blob. how do they know this? because the alt="adorable kitten" tells them so!

    this helps in terms of SEO too because it increases keyword density.

    It's pretty good for image search too which hasn't been mentioned.
