Use ALT tags on all image entries

The primary reason the ALT option was added to the IMG (image) tag is for accessibility. Textual screen readers are used by blind users of the Internet and a descriptive ALT tag will better describe what the image is to these users. In addition, search engines pick up the text in these tags.

This tip is short and sweet and every little bit helps your web site gain a higher ranking in the search engines, which will eventually transform into dollars.
