Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks so much, Isaac! Sorry for the newbie question. For you, is it okay to use the same file name and alt tags in an image?

For example:

File name: cheap-lego-for-kids.jpg

Alt tag: Cheap Lego for Kids

Will I be penalized for this?

Thank you very much! Last question, which one is better to use on alt tags?

SPACE or HYPHEN? Cheap Lego for Kids or cheap-lego-for-kids?

Thanks again!

Hi, please answer my questions:

1. Is it okay to use the same keyword on both file name and alt tags when inserting an image?

Example:

File Name: buy-lego-online.jpg

ALT tag: buy-lego-online

Will it trigger Google Panda? Will I be penalized for that? Or the file name and alt tags should be different from each other? Because when inserting an image on Wordpress, the alt tags are always the same as the file name by default.

2. For example, I have 2 images in a page (same topic/niche) and I will put "cheap-lego-for-kids" and "best-lego-for-sale" as alt tags. Considering that I repeat the word "lego", is it considered keyword stuffing? Will I be penalized for that?

Thanks in advance!
