Default Alt Text help

Here late at night I'm trying to figure out something I should have learned a long time ago, which is including alt text for images.

I've spent a good bit of time googling this topic but get really confused by all the variations.

I have a site with Amazon product images that have my affiliate ID embedded in the link.

So for the the alt text, do I simply have <img scr="http://the url link of the image with my ID/" alt"="whatever text I want/">?

Or what?

Catherine

Use:

<img src="http://imgurl.com/img.jpg" alt="description of the image">

I try to use variations of the keyword targeted in the alt text, so that not all my images have the same alt text. It looks more natural, and less like keyword stuffing.

Perhaps an attic I shall seek.

I think here's what you're trying to do, or at least should be trying to do:

HTML Code:
<a href="youramazonaffiliatelink.com/" target="_top">
<img src="http://imagesourceurlhere.com/image.jpg" width="200" height="261" border="2" alt="Descriptive Keyword Text" /> </a>
Of course the attributes such as target, width/height/border etc can be changed.

I appreciate the above two replies.

But the second person who answered has directions that include the dimensions of the image.

Is this or is this not necessary?

Those attributes can be changed. It was just an example what you can do with an image.
