    For SEO Purposes, it is extremely important to tag your images and links!

    There are a few reasons why this will help your site.

    1. Webcrawlers Can’t See Images!

    When scanning your page, a webcrawler cannot yet see images. All they can see is the back-end code. Therefore it is up to you to describe to the webcrawler what the picture is of. You can do this with an ALT or TITLE Tag. When you scroll over any image on the web, text should pop up. If it does not, then the images isn’t tagged and the webcrawler doesn’t know what it is. Here is how to tag an image:

    <img title=”Img Descr.” src=”yourimage.jpg” alt=”Img Descr.” />

    tssss...duh...:rolleyes:

    since when did HTML considered ALT and TITLE as a TAG in <img/>? the way I see it, it is clearly stated in your post that ALT and TITLE is an ATTRIBUTE of the <img/>

    Good reminder to those of us who proof test pages, but don't actually create them.

    Thanks
