In all honesty, the only thing I can recommend is exactly that: honesty. Google wants you to be sincere about what your site is and what it offers. And they have been very generous by providing the guidelines of what they’re looking to find on a site to determine it’s relevance to search terms. They are now going a little further than just hoping that we’ll adhere to those guidelines, they’re making sure of it.
There is some speculation that too many images with their ALT properties defined can cast your site into the over-optimized pond, inadvertently making you a black hat. So if you think you’re following all the guidelines, an haven’t tried anything tricky to boost your rankings, try cutting down on the ALT properties.
I for one, am happy about this new filter. I look forward to finding the right information faster, and if you play by the rules that information just may be on your site.
