Does this give the alt text the strength of a standard H1 tag, or is this nonsense?

Code:

<h1>

<a class="trackGA" href="/Home">

<img alt="Alt text here" src="image/directory/file.jpg"/>

</a>

</h1>

Yeah from what i've seen and researched this not good.

ShoeMoney does it properly but I think hides the text with the css:

Code:

<h1 id="logo">
                <a href="[URL="http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/view-source:http://www.shoemoney.com/"]http://www.shoemoney.com/[/URL]"><span></span>Shoemoney - Skills To Pay The Bills</a>
                <em>By Jeremy Schoemaker</em>
            </h1>

Cleaner

see that in action at http://www.shoemoney.com

Just my $0.02 but Google is placing less weight on <h1> and <h2> these days due to them being spammed.

Anything that appears overly SEO-d is attracting their attention. Don't stop using them (I haven't), but don't figure it'll game Google too much these days.
