Web Search Engines are blind! By including alt tags, captioning video, and accessibility functions to your website adds more text, more keywords, improves your search engine placement. Using graphics for headings interferes with the spidering of search engines. Use real headings, paragraphs and lists. Use the h1-h6 elements for headings. Even if you tag graphic headings with alt tags, this text will not be as important as real text in a heading element.
High quality markup will help boost your rankings. Website Accessibility requires nice clean code. Keeping presentational markup to a minimum and validating your HTML creates a faster site that is more attractive to search engines.
The requirements of website accessibility provide excellent guidelines for creating websites with increased search ability and usability laying the groundwork for search engine optimization.
