Title tags in a href tags

On my thumbnail preview TGP I used to have the title="free porn" on each and every thumbnail, plus the individual link description in the alt tag. Until mid 2003 I was able to clearly credit this for being on page 1 Google results for "free porn" - BLISS!

It lasted for about 8 months and then I got harshly penalised = dropped down to ~800 - LESS $$$!

So be careful!

Another aspect: if you're using both, title and alt tag, all Modzilla based browsers display the title before the alt (meaning they don't display the alt on mouseover)! Worth considering because I usually write heaps into the alt for graphical paysite links.
