      When optimizing videos for a website should the Alt and Title be the same or is that too much?  If so what is the best practice for optimizing images on a website?

      For example

      title=Blue widgets in Atlanta

      alt=Blue widgets in Atlanta

      Also, I'm assuming the image name should be Blue widgets in Atlanta

        Nathan,

        Title - I'd use the keyphrase in the title tag

        alt - I'd use a short description for the alt tag with the keyword in there , like a 5-6 word description.

          Different for sure, but use a keyword in the title and in the alt text.  Alt text should really be pretty tied to the actual video.
