Naming images for when you hover them?

I was wondering how I could name my images properly. I notice when I hover them they all say yawoop. Can I change it so it displays the website name and not yawoop.

Here is the code I'm currently using,

<div align="center">
<br><br/><br/>
<div align="center"><a href="http://www.albumvotes.com/"><img src="css/album-votes.jpg" alt="<?=$site_name?>" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickvotes.com/"><img src="css/flick-votes.jpg" alt="<?=$site_name?>" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.yawoop.com/it/"><img src="css/yawoopit.jpg" alt="<?=$site_name?>" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.blogengage.com/"><img src="css/bouton-blog-engage.jpg" alt="<?=$site_name?>" border="0" /></a>  <a href="http://www.yawoop.com/games/index.php"><img src="css/bouton-games.jpg" alt="<?=$site_name?>" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/forums/"><img src="css/bouton-forum.jpg" alt="<?=$site_name?>" border="0" /></a> </div> 
<br/><br/>

but like I said when I hover them they all say yawoop

 

You just need to change the alt tag.

Change.... 

alt="<?=$site_name?>" 

to whatever you want it to say. i.e, alt="my picture"

Thank you look what was happening with google when I search site:www.yawoop.com

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=site:www.yawoop.com&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

This will now fix that in time?

 

add an alt="" and title="" tag to the image, e.g. <img src="bob.jpg" alt="bob" title="bob" />

The title is just so it does it on hover in FF as well, plus it's always nice to have another keyword placement.

 

Use whatever the image says for each images alt attribute.

For instance, that first image would be

<img src="css/album-votes.jpg" alt="Album Votes" border="0" />

Code (markup):

Screen readers for blind people also depend on the alt attribute for images, right now blind people are hearing "yawoop yawoop yawoop..." & thinking WTF the website's skipping like my record player ! Then closing the window.

The reason search engines are using that to begin with, is they can't find anything better to use for a site description. Not even a description meta.

 

I think your talking about the title of every page or the description of the result (right me if im wrong).... and if so maybe try to create meta tags, google sometimes pick metas for google result snippet...
