WebmasterWorld's contribute ALT tag for donate1.gif looks a mess:

alt="contribute to WebmasterWorld¦contribute to WebmasterWorld¦contribute to WebmasterWorld¦contribute to WebmasterWorld¦Thanks for keeping<br>us banner free¦¦¦¦¦¦"

Please change it, please change it, please change it, please change it. Thanks for changing it. ;)

Sample web page:
[webmasterworld.com...]

I guess the problem is that Brett uses Opera, where the ALT tag doesn't show (at least for me) :).

there's a good reason for it

Don't know, in terms of SEO this looks like keyword repetition to me. And probably not a phrase that gets searched for very often I guess ;).

:) :)

sometimes good reason is just being in too much of a rush!

or

thinks >> reading this thread may subliminaly plant the DONATE seed

IMO - keyword repetition is not the great evil some would claim

Just a variable reference error ($ALTtag vs $ALTtag[$ADnum]).

Well, I use Opera myself and that's why I noticed it. ;) I use "Show cached images only" and my image cache is rather small.
