Optimizing Websites With Minimal Text. - Taking A Look Around


(Page 2 of 4 )

Next step, and you're not going to like this, is to look around the page(s) and see if there is anything that can possibly be turned into text. If for example you have an image that says "Click Here For ...." then experiment with that same link in a text format if at all possible, the reason I bring this to light is that you'll want to balance out the source code / visible text ratio as much as possible, and every little helps! There are attractive ways to use text, so for gods sake utilize them whenever you can.

Next is to focus on the optimized images, we're going to add some of those very special attributes called the ALT and TITLE. You are probably already familiar with the use of the alt tag (at least I hope you are), and if not, well then here is a sample HTML code of an image with the ALT attribute:

<img src="/directory/image.jpg" alt="The ALT Text Goes Here">

You can find more detailed information about the ALT attribute here. Then you can do the very same with the TITLE attribute, so a sample of code would be:

<img src="/directory/image.jpg" alt="ALT Text " title="Title Text">

The purpose of using the TITLE & ALT tag is simply to reinforce the keywords, and although neither of them carry very significant weight, with very little text on the page, they will be of great importance. As for what you should put into these tags, well the wisest choice is some keywords, although they are normally only to be used in order to describe the item to which they are assigned. For example, if you had an image of a very beautiful lady standing near a red Ferrari, then you could use the ALT tag of "A Very Beautiful Lady Standing Near An Even More Beautiful Car".
