How to edit alt img values in Wordpress?

Liam Hamer · 10-13-2009, 10:10 AM

My site hasn't been climbing the rankings at the rate I expected it to, so I'm currently looking at any onsite factors that may be contributing to this. I have a bunch of posts on my homepage, all with an image to go with them. I know it's recommended to have your keyword as the alt img value in some of your pics, but when I try to change it nothing happens. I have uploaded these pics, and I am now putting my keyword into the code as follows:-

alt="my keyword"

I have also gone to 'Edit Alternate Text' and put my keyword in there, but after I save and check 'properties' for the pic, nothing has changed

I'm at a loss here, maybe I'm missing something really simple. I need any SEO boost I can to help my ranking so if anyone knows how to fix this it'd be much appreciated

I've searched around(both here and Google) and can't seem to find an answer

It's one of a few factors that's letting down my current onpage SEO.
