The alt tag is used by search engines<\/a> as soon as images or graphics are not displayed and is an abbreviation for the “alternative tag”. This alternative text is stored and appears as a short description of an image or graphic that is not loaded. The alt tag is not visible to the user and is part of the meta information<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n For an image file, the codes are stored as HTML elements<\/a> in the source text. It is particularly important to use double coding characters instead of single quotation marks. An example of this could look like this:<img src=”bildtitel.jpg” alt=”More information about the image” \/ ><\/p>\n\n CMSs<\/a> normally offer automatic implementation of the alt tag. When labeling, it is important to choose a description that is as short and above all meaningful as possible, as well as to name the main keyword. Keyword<\/a> stuffing should be avoided. <\/p>\n\n From a usability point of view, the alt tag is indispensable. The alt tag is particularly advantageous for visually impaired people. It enables barrier-free access to all content, as the alt tag reads out the information on the image using screen readers. <\/p>\n\n As already explained, the alt attribute is important in order to be able to assign the content of the image. Search engine<\/a> robots can neither capture nor index these images. The robots need meaningful texts that the crawler can find and process. Professional on-page work is required to tag these images correctly. If alt tags are missing, the user may be irritated and consequently leave the website<\/a>. Another benefit of the alt attribute is to rank<\/a> as high as possible in Google’s image search. <\/p>\n\n If you hover over an image with the mouse pointer, the title of the image is displayed. This is the title tag of an image. An example of a background for an image in HTML format<\/a> looks like this:<img src=”Image title.jpg” alt=”more information about the image” title=”this is displayed when you move the mouse over it” \/ ><\/p>\n\n The title tag, similar to the alt tag, is necessary for search engine optimization<\/a> so that Google can better capture the content of a page and its images and index them<\/a> more accurately.<\/p>\n\n The title tag is a must for every HTML<\/a> page. The page title displayed in the browser must be set individually for the URL. The title tags are also considered by Google during indexing. A short, meaningful text in the SERPs<\/a>, which entices the user to visit the website, leads to a high ranking<\/a>. In the <head> area, the title tag in the HTML<\/a> code could look like this:<head ><title>Seo Marketing Cologne – Your Seo Agency<\/TITLE><\/head><\/p>\n\n A precise labeling of the title tag is particularly important for search engine optimization<\/a>. It is important to give each URL<\/a> an individual and, above all, unique title tag. This is a decisive ranking factor for Google. <\/p>\n\n The length of the title tag can determine both the positive and negative impact of optimization<\/a>. Google’s new rules do not specify an exact number of characters, as used to be the case. Nowadays, the size of the title tag is calculated in pixels. This means that a certain total width may not be exceeded by the characters of the title. Otherwise, the title will be shortened in the middle and thus discourage visitors to the page. <\/p>\n\n In the best case, the potential visitor is provided with good information in a natural way. An unnatural enumeration of all keywords<\/a> would be counterproductive and anything but meaningful, as it is recognized by Google as keyword<\/a> stuffing. <\/p>\n\nRelationship between ALT attribute and SEO<\/h3>\n\n
