3 Essential Facets of Optimization
There are three distinct facets of search engine optimization
- On-page optimization
On-page optimization is not difficult. It does however take time to make sure all the pieces are in place. This kind of optimization should occur not only on the main web page of a web site, but on every single content page within that site.The very first question to ask when seeking to optimize a web page is: What keyword(s)/keyword phrases is this page targeting?- HTML coding: <TITLE>, <META NAME=”DESCRIPTION”>, <META NAME=”KEYWORD”>, <H1> or other headline tags.
- Keywords within the body text. Concentrate on your users first, then modify for search engines.
- Proper ALT tags on your images
- Internal linking structure of your individual website pages (including your site map)
- Off-page optimization
Off-page optimization is also a key ingredient to success with search optimization. Off-page optimization primarily involves- inbound link acquisition
- the building and management of a substantial inbound link portfolio (the quantity, potency, and relevancy of your backlinks)
- utilization of proper anchor text for your inbound/outbound links
- email newsletters
This is an ongoing process.
- Content production
Often the most overlooked phase of optimization. In order to build a truly sound SEO foundation, a site must constantly be growing in terms of indexed pages of relevant content. The more individual Web pages filled with relevant content, the better a site will rank in the major search engines. There are various ways of creating substantial amounts of content. Create a blog for your website. Create a discussion forum.If you are working with an SEO consultant that highlights the importance of content building – in addition to proper on-site and off-site page optimization – then chances are that you’ve found yourself a winner.

Good looking out, updated.
The alt attribute is for text that should be displayed if for some reason an image isn’t displayed (e.g. the user has images turned off). This text should describe the content of the image in a way that will help users who don’t see the image understand what it is for. If the image is just an interface graphic that doesn’t need text to describe its content (e.g. spacer.gif), leave the alt attribute empty like this: alt=”"
Use the title attribute to give extra information about the image, such as its title. You can in fact use the title attribute in this way for any HTML element, not just images. Think of it as a kind of elemental metadata.

But
altis an attribute, not tag.
