"JohnMu from Google: alt attribute should be used to describe the image. So if you have an image of a big blue pineapple chair you should use the alt tag that best describes it, which is alt=?big blue pineapple chair.? title attribute should be used when the image is a hyperlink to a specific page. The title attribute should contain information about what will happen when you click on the image. For example, if the image will get larger, it should read something like, title=?View a larger version of the big blue pineapple chair image.?

Using the title together with the alt attribute (and not stuffing keywords into it but using them as intended) has provided pretty good results for me in the past. If you have a reference where using the two together is not a good thing, please share! |
As long as you use the title tag on text linking to an image and an alt tag on an actual image, you're fine.
Attaching a title tag to an image that already has an alt tag is asking for a bitchslapping from a GoogleBot.
I did it recently and had my images de-indexed.
As soon as I stripped the title tags out, the images were re-indexed.
