Can anyone tell me what is the benefit of alt tag

Answer 1

LOLBRAID and Prashanth Kumar,
Be aware that others important reasons are related to the alt attribute : for SEO and for impaired people with sight disability using screen reader.
Some of the post from the answers here talk about it but few.
Edit:
For more details you can give a search about WAI-ARIA accessibility and SEO.
