Semantic content: images with alt attributes vs plain text? Part 2
OK so interesting results from our little test case... Although it looks like Google is certainly acting as expected for natural rankings with the way we markup content we've had some interesting results from the other guys at Yahoo & Altavista where it looks as though our mate Roger (un-sematic plain text content) is certainly leading the way!!
I must say - I'm a bit concerned by these results as it certainly doesn't bode well for the way we've been told we "should" code so often!
Watch this space for further updates!! Feel free to drop Jon an email if you want to see more comparisons.
