I will take your advice and not alter what i have added via the alt tags and confuse them with title tags. The last thing I want to do is spam keywords etc by duplicating them through alt and title tags, the title for most of my 356 pages remain the same and constant to create a theme if this makes sense.


It is not a good idea to overdo the keywords however where they are placed will make a difference in your SEO Search engines give more importance to keywords in the following places.
    • Name of the file and folder
    • Title
    • Headers (h1, h2, etc.)
    • Link using the title atrib.
    • Bold text
    • Italic text

And less to the following

    •Body text
    •Alt text in images (because of abuse)


This is the search engines ways of knowing if it is a relevant document. If the keywords are found in the page it looks at the document as maybe relevant, if the keywords are found in the name of the file, the title, and the h1, h2 etc. tags. It then looks at the document as very relevant.

When it looks at the keywords in the links it views this as a document with good reference links to others relevant information.

Hope this helps

Does this look right to you guys?

Code: [ Select ]
<img title="Peugeot Van Leasing" src="emblems/auto_peugeot.jpg" /><br />
      <a href="list.php?t=vans&amp;m=peugeot">Peugeot</a>
  1. <img title="Peugeot Van Leasing" src="emblems/auto_peugeot.jpg" /><br />
  2.       <a href="list.php?t=vans&amp;m=peugeot">Peugeot</a>


It's the only way it would work.

happy xmas btw and thx for the help again, you guys are a godsend.

code it like this:

Code: [ Select ]
<img alt="Peugeot Van Leasing" src="emblems/auto_peugeot.jpg" /><br />

<a href="list.php?t=vans&amp;m=peugeot" title="List of available Peugeot vans">Peugeot</a>
  1. <img alt="Peugeot Van Leasing" src="emblems/auto_peugeot.jpg" /><br />
  3. <a href="list.php?t=vans&amp;m=peugeot" title="List of available Peugeot vans">Peugeot</a>


use alt with img
use title for links

Good luck

Andre
