    First, to be terminologically clear, there is no such thing as an alt tag. It is an alt attribute within an img tag.

    Secondly, title attributes are not considered important in the SEO rankings, as it can be easily spammed (you can put a title attribute on many different tags).

    src - Specifies the path to the image.
    alt - Specifies an alternate text for the image, if the image for some reason cannot be displayed.
