Dear Kalena…
Do search engines recognize words that are in a graphic? My home page is loaded with graphics and I have been told that search engines cannot read them. Is that true? I am about to have my home page rebuilt and I don’t want to spend the money if I don’t have to.

Google’s patent for technology for recognizing text in images and video

Well, the technology would probably be on test soon enough and full fledged in the not too distant future, so I think that just using alt tags would be enough for those images at the moment
