run your page through a html validator
every image has to have alt
in case you did not understand the 3rd time i tell you
EVERY IMAGE HAS TO HAVE ALT ATTRIBUTES
IF YOU HAVE NO ALT ATTRIBUTES ON IMAGES GOOGLE PENALIZES YOUR SITE IN SEARCH ENGINES
AND this is wrong in 2 ways the link is not to a page the link you put in here is to a image
and no alt tags???

Tammie I was building website before you were even born so do me a fav and shut the @uck up ,and get your facts correct first,ask the staff at oxwall how the boxes for adding html work.If you or building your own html page ,then this is different,and then I would agree with you.

Alt tags
ALT tags provide a text alternative to an image.
They are a way to "describe" an image to those who can not see the image. The most important function of an ALT tag is to explain to a blind user what an image is displaying. Search engine crawlers also use ALT tags to decipher what an image is or what it is representing.
If you have images on your web pages that are not described by an ALT tag your HTML is not valid and you are not following this (and other) guidelines.
What should go in a Alt tag? It is recommended to "use text that fulfills the same function as the image". When deciding upon the text you use to describe your images it very important that you keep the people who are unable to see your images in mind. A great example of this is ...
If a 'question mark' icon or image is used to represent the help page, the alternative text should be 'help' or something similar. Alt tags that are full of keywords are not following this guideline and are disruptive for blind users. It is often not understood that when a blind person is surfing the web they are normally using software that reads aloud the entire page. Can you imagine how irritating it would be to have to listen to an ALT tag that is "stuffed" with keywords? There is ample information available on the web concerning the proper use of ALT tags. (see "Resources" in the sidebar).

I shamefully don't use Alt tags on my web sites but two are ranked No 1 on Google. Also, some social networking sites like one I'm planning can do without any Google exposure.
I agree that alt tags have a real purpose, but one way of making sure your members are not plastered over Google Images is to leave them off :-0
