Use Title and ALT Attributes

Use Title and ALT Attributes

More often then not, web addresses (URL's) do not contain the topic of the page.

Using the Title Attribute is an direct method of telling the search engines about the relevance of the link. It's also a W3C standard for making your page accessible to disabled people. In other words, blind folks can navigate through your website using a special browser that reads Title and ALT attributes. The syntax is:

<a href="http://www.hioxindia.com" title="Web Hosting">Linux Hosting</a>

The ALT Attribute is used for the same reasons as the Title Attribute, but is specifically for describing an image to the search engine and to the visually disabled. Here's how you would use ALT in an IMG tag:

<a href="http://www.hioxindia.com" title="Web Hosting">
