I'm always willing to engage in a little friendly debate :)<br /><br />I still stand by the ALT attribute example I used because it is assigned to an image link, which does give it an additional layer of accessibility. And repeating the title of the article isn't such a bad thing in my eyes. The intention is clearly not keyword stuffing- they're just trying to present it in more than one place to make sure people read it.Birdinggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810581588440800244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601203180585097369.post-31553148695809537052010-02-26T08:37:22.248-08:002010-02-26T08:37:22.248-08:00The screenshot of your alt atrribute example shows...The screenshot of your alt atrribute example shows that it merely repeats the text on the page - it offers no increased accessibility; and should instead either describe the image, or be null (alt="").Andy Mabbetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517933090616327541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601203180585097369.post-875158455680389982010-02-26T06:45:14.981-08:002010-02-26T06:45:14.981-08:00@search engine placement- thanks for stopping by!
...@search engine placement- thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />@Andy- I agree completely. I by no means advocate keyword stuffing in ALT attributes. My post does not tell my readers to stuff arbitrary keywords in the ALT attributes. It tells them to put a description of the image (such as a specific bird species) in the ALT attribute. This is absolutely the appropriate use of an ALT attribute and I stand by it. But I really do appreciate you bringing up the issue of keyword stuffing in ALT attributes because I would hate for one of my readers to unintentionally get into a bad practice such as that. I don't think you have to worry about bird bloggers though- they're pretty ethical folks. It's the binocular sites you have to watch out for! hahaBirdinggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810581588440800244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601203180585097369.post-27982259863461318722010-02-25T16:25:15.542-08:002010-02-25T16:25:15.542-08:00Good post, but really bad advice about ALT attribu...Good post, but really bad advice about ALT attributes.
