And while your busy putting title tags on your images don't forget to include them on the rest of your links too. Title tags are often over looked and thus can give you a step up on your competition. Cheers Guy Very good information. And while your busy putting title tags on your images don’t forget to include them on the rest of your links too.

Eric,

Just make sure to remember that TITLE tag in the header of your page is not the same as the “title attribute” in the image source code.

There might be a way to do these things without working with code. Depending on the authoring software, you should be able to ad these attributes without looking at the code. If you write a blog, there many platforms including WordPress will allow you to ad ALT attribute. But I think it's much faster and easier to work with code rather than WYSIWYG interface. What do you use to create your pages? Jim,

While I am pretty good with technology I am relatively new to HTML, SEO, and on-line content. So I really appreciate this information. So... am I correct in my understanding that the only way to add ALT and TITLE is to manually insert it into the HTML source code? Thanks.

I agree that it can bring some extra traffic. I think it is also helpful to set an option via Google webmaster tolls to allow the bot indexing the images.

I have used these tags on my real estate site, and some of my images have ended up on the google image search. Any extra exposure for your site and listings is a big bonus. This is very good advice!
