Definition and Usage of imges

The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page.

Images are not technically inserted into a web page; images are linked to web pages. The <img> tag creates a holding space for the referenced image.

The <img> tag has two required attributes:

src - Specifies the path to the image
alt - Specifies an alternate text for the image, if the image for some reason cannot be displayed

Practical Information

1: Page Title The page title appears at the top of the browser window or on the tab of a browser. It is specified in the <title> element which lives inside the <head> element.
2: URL / Web Address The name of the file is part of the URL. Where possible, use keywords in the file name.
3: Headings If the keywords are in a heading <hn> element then a search engine will know that this page is all about that subject and give it greater weight than other text.
4: Text Where possible, it helps to repeat the keywords in the main body of the text at least 2-3 times. Do not, however, over-use these terms, because the text must be easy for a human to read.
5: Link Text Use keywords in the text that create links between pages (rather than using generic expressions such as “click here”).
6: Image Alt Text Search engines rely on you providing accurate descriptions of images in the alt text. This will also help your images show up in the results of image-based searches
