It is a semantic clue for the image and does only somewhat/slightly speak to the content. Your alt tags should be descriptive of the image. For this, it would be best to describe the image the best that you can using a sentence for the benefit of users and for the benefit of image search. Image alt tags have relatively no effect on SEO otherwise and therefore no reason to be punished for bad alt text. The alt text is an attribute and not content. | |

However, if you can expand them then by all means do as it will help, for example "Boat Name - Bedroom with double bunk beds" etc. Best practice for alt tags is to use them what they was originally designed for, impaired users i.e blind people, if your alt tags are used in this manner everything else falls into place. Forget alt tags for search engines, think of your alt tags for your users. | |
