 This will only appeal to the most hard core SEO geeks, but it’s really fascinating… Well if that’s true, then why is Google showing my Alt tag text as the first sentence of my description in the search results for a relevant search phrase? hmmm? Search Google for “internet consulting blog” and my index page (not my blog page) ranks number five. The first sentence of my Google description showing is “Internet Consultant Scott Hendisons name and a link to his blog”. That sentence only appears in an image alt tag, and nowhere else in my source code or on the page. My alt tag properly describes the image it’s used for, and is being used exactly as it’s supposed to be…that is, “to describe the image to a sight impaired person”. Do you suppose this is this an anomaly or a new trend? Is this “Breaking search industry news” or is it just Google keeping us on our toes? ***update*** Other stuff I've written that you might like: |
