Alt attribute in .ashx file.
-
Hi,
I'm currently in charge of the SEO for a website. When I look at the source of the webpages on my internet browser, most of the images are in .ashx and no alt attribute is related to the image itself.
However, when I go in my CMS, the alt attribute is clearly written for all my images.
Does it mean that search engines won't take in consideration the alt attribute of my .ashx files. Is there a way to have alt attribute showing for .ashx files ?
Thank you in advance

My CMS is Sitecore

Thanks, I see now. It does not matter what the src path within the tag points to, you still have an alt attribute.
Here is an image tag from your site:
I'm not sure why the alt attribute is empty even though you specified it within the CMS. I suspect it's an issue with the CMS itself. What CMS is it? Custom?

Okay to have additional attributes in canonical tag?
Hello! I'm helping a Client with a platform migration from an SEO standpoint. They are working to implement canonical tags, but I've noticed that each of the ones they are implementing are including a "data-rdm" attribute: data-rdm=""> I'm not sure the Client has a way to suppress this before the launch date. Do we think this will be an issue for Google?

Including key words in alt image attributes - stuffing etc?
I'm pretty new to all this but seem to have been getting good result by adjusting our sit to meet the seomoz on page analysis factors. I'm currently adjusting the alt image attributes for this page: www.katalysticevents.com The copy I'm writing is aimed at targeting "luxury marquee hire". It's quite hard to get the keyword into a readable image attribute which properly relates to the image. So my question is if I add say " | Luxury Marquee" onto the end of each image attribute would this get penalised and seen as keyword stuffing or something like that? My image attributes would be:
