Images
Images can be used to convey many important concepts and visual cues to the visitor while also giving your site a more professional or elegant look. It’s important to use images properly but within moderation, consistent with the needs of your target audience. As mentioned earlier, text in images is virtually invisible to the search engines. You should only use text within an image if it is unimportant to the search engine optimization and ranking process.
In the HTML code, images are placed using the < img > tag and designating the location of the source (src) file.
< img src="/images/logo_main.jpg" / >
When using images, be sure that each is used appropriately to enhance the concepts conveyed on the page it is on, is clean, and works to help “sell” your product or service.
