How do you add alt tags

Dan,

No easy way to do alt tags in iWeb.

Give a look at iWeb SEO Tool. http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

It is free and does alt tags, meta tags, title tags and more very easily. Have used it for about a year and have no complaints.

Good Luck,

John

Just launch SEO select the web site you want to add tags to, click on the Images tab and go from there. It's all very self explanatory.

I've been reading up on the Google Webmaster Tools pages on how to get the most hits from Google. They're pretty clear that making good use of ALT tags on all of your site images makes a big difference.

So it's clear that anybody running a business on the web would want to have good ALT text for all their site images (my premise being that anybody running a business on the web would want to otimise their site for Google).

How bizarre then that iWeb doesn't support this! It wouldn't take much, just a field in the iWeb Inspector.

My premise is:

Make your business interesting, not your ALT tags.

All your image, movie and music files should have interesting and relevant captions. Unless you lock your images up in an iWeb Photos or Albums template, the spiders will read your captions and make the use of alternative image tags redundant.

Just found the iWeb SEO Tool. Nice. Let's you set my tags and doesn't lose them when I make edits. It works for me (I publish from iWeb to a hosting service at GoDaddy). YMMV.

Just remember to reapply them every time you publish!

The latest version also allows you to upload Google Analytics. See instructional video.....
