One of the most basic old principles of SEO is the alt text of images. No matter how new SEO is, he must have heard the name of ALT tag but how much do you know about this alt tag, like is it really called ALT tags or alt distribute or ALT TEXT what is the correct name? Of course there is nothing like magic in seo. There are only the basics which you have to learn and practice them so much that you can implement, follow and follow them on every website without thinking anything blindly.

Let us look at this topic named alt text in today’s article. Learn how to create the perfect Alt text for your images. In today’s article we are talking about Alt TEXT.

First of all the question is where should it go? alt text or alt tags or alt attributes? The technically correct term is alt attributes. It is an HTML element and tags are keywords in HTML that define an information. So H1 is a tag. P is a tag, title is also a tag Image which is written as IMG. 

 This is also an HTML tag that when you want to display an image in a web page, its code looks something like this.

Here IMG is the tag and you enter the location of the image file in the SRC i.e. source, so the image is an HTML tag. Attribution gives extra information in HTML tag, so if you add style to H1 tag in this way then it becomes a style attribute. It is giving additional information here.

Similarly, when additional text information has to be given along with the image, then we use alt, in this way the full form of alt is alternative text. Alt attributes help browsers.

It helps to convey that image to the blind users and to understand the image to the search users. By the way, alt attributes are used with only three types in HTML. Area, img i.e. image and input.

In today’s article we are only talking about the alt attributes with the image tag, so we will focus on this now let’s see how to write a perfect alt ATTRIBUTES TEXT. What should be in it?

STEP NO:1 

Alt attributes have to be used with each image. This would seem basic. That’s why listen carefully again. Alt attributes must be used in every image. Sometimes there are images on the page which are used for decoration. The light is being used with a divider or header or spacer. There is no visual element.

Icon of Greentech, Red Cross, Shield You have to use alt attributes in any image file of this type.

Now, obviously what alt attributes text would you write in an icon? Will you explain? In this null alt attributes have to be used i.e. blank but alt attributes will definitely be there.

Must have gone on 13th. What do you have to do in 13th, nothing, just eat food and come back with folded hands. You are not expected to do anything but if you don’t go then the wrong message will be sent. People can feel bad. The same condition will remain here as well, the alt attribute will come with the image file, of course, it is necessary to have this attribute, where no text will be given in the alt attributes. There, only the blank will be kept. attribute will definitely be used.

STEP NO:2 

Keep the alt attribute text less than 125 characters. Alt attribute text larger than 125 characters is sometimes discarded. In some platforms, it is split, divides it into parts, so that your alt attributes text makes an incomplete sound.

That’s why make sure to follow the hard limit of 125 characters.

STEP NO:3 

Google uses only the first 16 words of your Alt text for Google web search. So make sure that whatever Alt text you are writing, its main part is covered within the first 16 words. So 125 characters and 16 words. However it is also to be kept in mind that this 16 words limit is for Google web search. 

Google can use up to 50 words for image search results, so if there is an image on your page that you have to go above 125 characters and 16 words to explain, then definitely go because whatever is the part of the most important text. It must come in the first 16 words so that your Alt text will also work in web search and then you can add the rest of the important tax to Google Image search.

STEP NO:4

Do not use Picture of or Image of or Graphic of or Info graphic of style in the alt attribute text. Picture and blah blah blah writing it is pointless because Alt attributes are used with the same picture. Text doesn’t have alt. The alt doesn’t happen with the video tag. The alt attributes are used only with the image or picture, so start explaining your alt text directly instead of the picture of blah blah blah.

STEP NO:5 

Use the alt attributes text to explain the image, honestly you should practice it. Because it is not so easy to describe, explain any one image properly. For example, take a screenshot of this article.

Now if you want to upload this screen shot on any website then what will be its correct alt attributes text. SEO Expert or Best SEO Expert in Delhi. Obviously not this will not happen.

You can use most basic Alt TEXT. A man, image of a man, not just A Man.

  This has become very basic, now, let’s go into a little more detail. A Man in Blue T-shirt total is 5 words and all good Abhi from 25 characters we are doing well.

Now, let’s detail it a little more. An Asian man in blue t-shirt. 6 words 28 characters, still we are doing fine. Just a little more detail. Asian Indian Man in Blue T-shirt, Talking to Camera, 10 words 53 characters.

Now you can understand what is going on in this image without looking at this photo. This is also the purpose of Alt TEXT that you explain the image, so describe the image in your alt attributes text as much as you can, but directly and within the word limit character limit.

The story is not to be written. A very clear explanation has to be given, at least it has to be described in Word.

STEP NO:6 

Do not write the same thing in the alt attributes text, which is already written on the page. For search engines, the alt attribute text of the image is only part of the main text and what will happen if you pick up a sentence of the main text and paste it in the alt attribute text? Google will see the same sentence twice. The quality of the text on your page will go down

STEP NO:7 

If you are writing Alt Attributes Text for an infographic, then do not re-use the text already written in that infographic in Alt TEXT. 

This too will be repetition. Like the text of the main content is not used in the old. Similarly, repeating the text already inside the infographic or image will not be right.

 If you do not understand exactly what to use with an infographic in the Alt Attributes text, then leave it blank, the Alt Attribute will definitely come, it will be blank. But even the text inside the infographic will not repeat, we will add more null Alt Attributes over time.

Now, if you use these 7 steps to create and implement the Alt Attribute Text of your images, your images will actually increase the SEO value of your page. It will help in ranking your page. Image will bring more traffic than search.
