    I want to place text in the title attribute field (in the “image details” window when you edit an image via a post) for seo purposes, but do not want Tooltips to appear upon hover of the image. If I switch to html view of the content block and remove the value (“”) for title, it removes the Tooltips but I don’t know if that is also where crawlers pick up the title or if they pull directly from the title attribute field?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Google doesn’t use the title attribute for SEO. If you use it, not only does it provide the tooltip but it clutters information for technologies such as search engines or assistive technologies.
