 * Hey guys.
 * My site is [http://www.tynetime.com](http://www.tynetime.com) and I constantly
   check my SEO rating because I like my site to be very friendly indeed 😀
 * Currently the rating is -22 which isn’t bad but there is one problem that won’t
   go away and I’m convinced it’s in the theme itself.
 * It’s the image format (thingy)

 * The bold part is what’s causing the problem, any ideas how to fix this?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * There’s nothing wrong with the image’s width or height but you might want to 
   consider giving your images a human-readable title that can then be used as the
   image’s alt text.

 * When you upload an image, edit the image’s title to produce something a little
   more meaningful. This text will be used if the image isn’t available or can’t
   be viewed (eg by search engines). You can also browse the Media Library and amend
   any existing image titles using the Edit link.

 * I see, so that means using some text about the image in the ALT part?
    I never
   used to go near the image after it had been inserted, I always thought the captions
   were very SEO unfriendly?

 * Yes

 * The alt text isn’t a caption and, providing you don’t use it to keyword-spam,
   it’s actually quite SE friendly.

 * Where would this ‘keyword spam’ be located if it was being used? 🙂
 * Thanks for the help so far.

 * In this instance, within the alt text. As I said, it’s supposed to be there if
   the image isn’t available or can’t be viewed, so should contain a short phrase
   or sentence that describes the image. But some people use it to add extra keywords
   to their content in the belief that it will help their PR. It doesn’t.

 * So, using captions aren’t SEO unfriendly as long as I insert a relevant keyword
   into the ‘ALT’ part?
 * See, they’re been bringing my SEO score down, but that must be the missing ALT
   info.
 * Then I went to the trouble of designing a near perfect copy on Photoshop but 
   I’ve to make a new image and upload it everytime, for new articles.
 * So captions won’t effect my SEO score as long as I’ve the ALT thingy done.?
 * Thanks for all your help so far 🙂
