    Hi,

    im going to make some image banners, the question is how should i optimize them(using as backlinks)?
    I see 3 options:
    1. use title atribute in link tag
    2. use alt atribute in img tag
    3. use both - 1 and 2

    any advices welcome.
    thnx.

    You may as well use both. Alt tags are best though.

    Use both, if you use only ALT tags the tooltip won't be shown in Firefox (at least under Linux) when you pass your mouse over the image

    Be warned not to use too much keywords in your alt tag ;)
