Image with Text

[manu45]

Hello,

I would like to use the mouse roll over with text on the over state. My question is how to make it SEO friendly? 2 different ALT ? How is the text on the over state going to be read by the searh engines?

Appreciate  your help!

You can accomplish this by using the Title & Alt tags.

For the rollover you'll need the Title tag and for SEO purposes I would use the Alt tag.

For example

title="UX Title" src="http://www.example.com/image.gif" alt="SEO friendly Title"

Google's Matt Cutts talks about image alt tags here...

Sorry about that.  You can do this through CSS by doing this
