Step 2: Meta Tags & Their Uses [continued]
Alt Tags
Alt Tags , or Alternative Tags, are the descriptions that are added to graphics or photos so the blind and people scanning with graphics turned off can know what the graphic and page represents. Spiders know to look for these tags and include them in the indexing process.
The Source Code for the ALT Tag looks like this:
<img src="images/2.jpg" alt="driveway design" width="100" height="100">
Your Alt tag is associated with a graphic or image map. In Internet Explorer [IE] Alt tags are when you mouseover an image on the page and small snippet of copy is displayed.
