2 gallerys showing the same images on the one website

[Feily]

Hi,

I was Just looking through some of our website and noticed that  we have a slide show gallery and when you click on the image it loads onto a light box gallery. would this act a duplicate content as it shows  in two different types of displays in the one place.

Thanks again

Hi

Google does not recognize images so we set ALT tag for Google to recognize our images and showing our image in relevant search result.  You can  put same images with different ALT tag so Google does not consider it as duplicate content because there are many ways to represent one image. If you have image of box then you can set different ALT tag for that image. So not to worry about that just change your ALt tag.

Actually, Google can recognize identical images. Go to Google Image Search, and you can do a reverse image search by putting in a URL of an image. Google can then show you all the other places that have this same image. Take a look at how it knows where else the SEOmoz image is used, despite lots of different ALT tags for it.
