I have a question... I'd really like to spring forward with my new site designs (well it's not really new... LOL it's been sitting on my hard drive since August)... but I'm attempting to reach the approximate same keyword density on the new design as the old so as not to upset the rankings too much... When I visit keyworddensity.com I get this for the alt tags....

Original
KW's: 3
Total: 6
Percent: 37.5

New
KW's: 0
Total: 0
Percent: 0

Could someone take a peek for me and take a guess as to why this is not getting picked up in KWD?

The new site will have new sections the current does not have and all internal pages will be opti for different keywords, as well as an addition of a sitemap.... I have never gotten around to doing that as I've been swamped with my own clients.. isn't that the way it is, "A mechanics car is always the last one fixed"... :)

I didn't see a malformed tag which was my first suspicion. Look for a difference between the tags in the old ones and the new. Perhaps it is a problem with the program reading your tag and parsing out the "alt".

Yes, that looks like a prob. Here are your tags:

<img height="91" src="images/header2.jpg" width="749" ALT="website designer" border="0">

Try this:

<img src="images/header2.jpg" alt="website designer" border="0" height="91" width="749">

Thanks Doug et al.... I'll try that and see how it works.
