My understanding is that ALT tags are important and contribute to keyword density.

Hope this helps

They help when people are using Google Image Search. Some of my traffic comes from images.

Yes, you're quite right,

I always use the ALT tags and quite a lot of my traffic is through Image searches!

It really helps to put descriptions and other keywords on your images because a lot of people search for images. If your alt text is relevant and well-worded, it usually ends up in the first page of image results.

Not only that, it's also the only thing that search engines can read when an image is concerned.
