    Simple question i think. Ive started adding alt tags to images using the slice tool in photoshop. This takes up a menu were the last part of is alt tag:

    This way to add alt tags does work right? I used SEO-browser afterwards and couldnt see the tag. There are maybe other better ways to see if your tags are in there ?

            Thanks. So I actuallyhave to consider file name of image, title text of image and alt text.

            The website we are using is delivered from a company - so quite some of the coding etc isnt accessible by me. I am just adding the picture and text. So my way to do this i guess have to be to 'mark' the image with the necessary info before uploading it to the site.

            I think i use title text. When clicking image on our website that takes you to the product page where there is a description of the product  or image. At least when i use seo-browser part of this product info seems to be applied to the picture but not in full (eg when I profile a product image on home page) there is a part of this product info shown when opening source of homepage.

            EDIT: I might have to talk to my webshop provider. My basic knowledge is a bit sparse but it isnt possible to add HTML to an image file eg .jpg and still keep it in an image file format ? What i do basically in our webshop is to upload the image in the 'right' folder and then add the image text. This is done for maybe 70-100 products 2-3 times a year. Adding it in the code isnt available to me and doesnt  seem like an option with this volume ?

            Anyone have any ideas ?

            This is the website if its any help: http://epleskrinet.no/

              This feature is a little confusing. Alt text is an attribute of the img tag in HTML, so this would normally be outside the realm of photoshop. To use the photoshop alt text feature, you need to export the HTML for the image when you're saving it.

              See http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/photoshop/images.html under the heading "Exporting HTML from photoshop".

              Once you've exported the html, you can paste it into your html document. To me, its all much more complicated than simply typing out < img src="myimage.jpg" alt="My alt text" / > but that may be due to my technical background.

                Also, you might consider adding title text as well to your images.  Here's a Search Engine Journal post about it.  The title is less important for SEO, but can enhance the experience users.

                  If you view the source of your page (hitting cntl +u should do this), and find the image on the page, it should have an alt attribute on it.  For example:

                    Is it OK to shorten your brand name in your title tags

                    If your title tag is over 55 characters, is it generally OK or good practice to abbreviate your brand name (at the end of the title tag) for the sake of the other keywords in the tag?

                    Duplicate page titles and hreflang tags

                    Moz is flagging a lot of pages on our site which have duplicate page titles. 99% of these are international pages which hreflang tags in the sitemap. Do I need to worry about this? I assumed that it wasn't an issue given the use of hreflang. And if that's the case, why is Moz flagging them as an issue? Thanks.

                    Is it convinient to use No-Index, Follow to my Paginated Pages?

                    I have a website http://www.naukrigulf.com and it has a lot of Paginated pages on its SERP and most of paginated pages are getting indexed in Google SERP. Is it beneficial to use No-Index, Follow to keep the link equity to main (first page),  although we have already used rel=next and rel=prev. If Answer is "yes" is their any harm by using no-index, follow with rel=next, rel=prev.

                    Can ID and class be used in my H1 tag. I realize best case would be to change it, but it's going to require a change order from the ecommerce company to fix their sloppy code. Will this hurt seo? Example:

                    Trying to SEO a site that used Header Tags for Design

                    I am trying to SEO a website that was built years ago and uses Header tags for design.  The site must have 25 and tags used for design purpose. Is there any way to work around this problem?  Perhaps a code that tells Google to ignore these as Headers?  The web designers say that they are looking to fix the problem sometime this summer but you never know if that means it a month away or years away.  I really want to help this website but I believe that the Header tags are one of the reasons that his site does not show in the top 100  rankings for any keywords.  Any help would be great. www.wallybuysell.com Chris.K

                    In the tile of my post, shoudl I used my blog's name in it at the end or emit the blog name. EX: title of post with keywords | name of blog OR EX: title of post with keywords The site's name is 3 words long, so I'm worrying that those extra words are diluting the keywords in the post's name that I'm trying to target.
