Alt and Title Tags
Having fancy looking images and such is good and all to the eye of the viewers, but as you may know, search engines don’t care at all what you have in the actual image because they may as well be pure white or black or just yeah…not a lick of style in it at all. For every image up there without a Alt Tag or Title, it’s basically a blank spot and will actually reflect badly on how well the site is SEO’d.
Adding the appropriate Alt Tag and Title is incredibly important in helping your rankings if your site has even one. Putting the tags is actually fairly simple.

Even something like that is better than nothing and just placing images all willy nilly. Don’t forget your opening and closing to the code, but I’m going to assume you know that much. Do something more appropriate for each and every image of course and you’ll be on a lot better footing when it comes to SEO’ing the site you’re working on.
