Type over images that is engine readable.

Clayton1 · 2006-03-22, 04:19 PM

Most of the pages on my site are images, usually generated in Photo Shop. These images have Photo Shop text included in the image but since it is an image, the text is not readable by the engines, which (I think) makes my site appear to the engines as being short on content. Does it? Yes? No?
Is there a way to place the text (HTML file?) over the image so that it is engine readable WITHOUT saving as separate layers or as a GIF file--which causes my images to lose quality?
I have tried saving the image as a background, but then it brakes up into a bunch of images Not good?
Maybe this not even possible, but if it is, please tell me how.
