If by head” you are referring to title tag, It is good if you are looking to target a specific keyword or phrase to make sure if it is represented in the title tage to also make sure the same keyword or phrase is represented in the copy.

As for images, if the image is hyperlink to another web page, you should use a keyword or short phrase that describes the page it is linking to. If the image is not hyperlinked, then you should use a keyword or short phrase describing the image.

Within the image tag itself, add alt=”keyword here” and you will now have added an alt attribute to the image.

Hi, thank you for your explanations.I just built a site.

The person gave me very little copy…QUESTION: does every keyword i use in the head also have to be written in the copy, or can i add alternative words.

QUESTION 2: there are a lot of images displayed with javascript in the jewelry page..is there a way of putting an “alt” attribute to these images? If yes, how would I do that? Would it actually be a better idea to give the images names, rather than file numbers? Would that be the only way to add keywords for all the images?

Thank you so much, if you actually reply to me. Iwould really appreciate that.
