Google Charts title/alt SEO? Will it be indexed well as an image file?

[Eden Dro]

Hi people

Currently playing with Google charts and NVD3. I know that google (and others) index inline SVG images, but how to I take care of the basic SEO like title/alt? 

Can it be done? Will the built-in title of google charts will be used for that?

Thanks

[Eden Dro]

Anyone??

Thanks Jon, but please explain..

where should I ask? the indexing of google charts by google should be related to the way you are using it, not to SEO in general

Google Web Search and Image Search decide for themselves how they rank search results. Owners of Google Services such as Google Charts have no influence over how they do that, and our knowledge of how they do that is quite limited. 

There are plenty of third party sites that will advise you on how to optimize your web site for Google, but I'm unaware of any that talk about Google Charts. (Then again, I haven't looked!) I can say only that it would make sense for a search engine to pay attention to the language in the titles and axes of a chart.

My apologies for an answer that is both unhelpful ("I don't know and couldn't tell you even if I did") and meta-unhelpful ("I can't even tell you where to go to answer your question"). I tried to be meta-meta-unhelpful by not answering in the first place, but guilt got the better of me.
