Not having a Genuinely Good Content Site is another mistake.

A god content with well arranged pages will help a lot.

Thanks,

No that's not what he mean I think, let me try to explain it

As what Google's webmaster guidelines states

Quote:
The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images.
thus it makes your image as plain image, now to make use of it in terms of SEO add an ALT attribute in your image.
