How to use ALT Image Tags and Image Links: It is better to use text as links than images, because text on images is not readable for search engines

It is better to use text as links than images, because text on images is not readable for search engines but if you have to use an image ensure you place a descriptive image alt tag on it.

Many suggest that the alt tags on your images should contain your keywords. Be careful. Some search engines see that as spamming. If you do it, don’t over do it. Better if you use the words, images or picture along the combination of your keywords.

If you use image navigation links it is advisable to place descriptive text links at the bottom of the page to help search engines figure out the relevancy of your pages.
