ALT tags are a text alternative to images when a browser can't properly render them. Even when the image is rendered, if you hover over it with your mouse pointer, you can see the ALT tag text created for that image. The ALT attribute also adds SEO value to your website. Adding appropriate ALT tags to the images on your website can help your website achieve better rankings in the search engines by associating keywords with the images. As a matter of fact, using ALT tags is probably the best way for your eCommerce products to show up in Google image and web search. The number one priority when it comes to image optimization is to fill out each ALT tag for every product image on your site.
Simple rules when it comes to ALT tags:
1) Describe your images in plain English, just like you do for image file names.
2) If you sell products that have model number or serial numbers, use them in your ALT tag.
3) Do not keyword stuff your ALT tags.
4) Don't use ALT tags for decorative images. Search engines may penalize you for over-optimization.
5) Check your website from time to time. View the source of your pages and check to see if your ALT tags are filled out.
