Website Design Mistake #2 – Too many images
Too many images and not enough text will never get a web site found.
You must have text on the web page for the search engines to digest. Images offer nothing for the search engine spiders to read. Although the use of image alt tags are recommended for all images, the alt tag does not carry the same weight as text, bold, italic and especially hyperlinked due to web designers stuffing the alt tags with keywords and information that has nothing to do with the web page.
If you use an image, you need an alt tag.
Balance the images and text on every web page. Your content will be the primary factor in your rankings. You need to ask yourself "Does your web page convey a message?" Ask yourself what the message is? If you can answer it from what you read off your web page then you are on target.
