Hey all,

Assuming the rest of your on page is good. KW in title, h1,body,h2 and semantic variations scattered about...

Would putting your specific keywords in images be keyword stuffing, or over optimizing your page?

Right now I'm making location pages and have related terms as the name for my images, would putting the location-based keywords be better(note, even if the keyword isn't whats 100% shown on the image)

Thanks

It is hard to say.
Some online keyword density checkers counts it, some not.

Yes, it would not cause any issue at all. You can do that

the keywords in images and alt tags count, but usually it will not cause keyword stuffing imo.

No, it is not. Make sure the image is relevant to the given keyword, giving it an alt tag will only improve the relevancy of the image to the article. After all, every image needs a Name, right? Avoid using the same image repeatedly with different alt tag names.

No it is not keyword stuffing. It is a recommended practise.

I do the same, but sometimes I use synonyms/paraphrase instead.
