ok, on second thought, the "alt" attribute in an <img > tag would have to be how google pulls up the image results. (since all of the images in the results have to do with the keyword(s) you typed in, it had to read those keywords somewhere in the <img > tag to pull up that particular image, right?

Wait.... So does it mean that it is wrong to say "alt attribute" or "alt tag"? These terms are very commonly used by most SEOs.

So??
Most SEO "experts" spout all kinds of incorrect garbage!

alt attribute is correct there is NO alt "tag"

On the other hand of course, it could have been irony (doubtful though)

I actually learned a lot from reading through this post and everyones responses. I think I had most of this stuff understood but it turns out I though wrong like many other people who read it also. Very helpful.

Hi, there are some people who are saying that it is a stolen article. But I will say it was helpful for me. So I am not going to comment anything on whether it is stolen or not. But I would say this is very much helpful article. Thanks.
