Alt Tag on Links

[devilzfan300]

I have some outbound links to partners on my front page. I was wondering, if I put alt tags on those links, would the keywords go towards my website or the website being linked too?

I use title tags on my most of my text links though I really don't think it matters to SE's (can't hurt though)

Yes, alt or title...are they the same thing?

The question i was asking though was: Do search engines see those keywords as keywords for the page the link is on, or the page the link is going to.

My understanding is anchor text would be the value that's passed to the linked page where as alt/title are more for the page on which the link resides.

they'll be passed on to the site you're linking to, not your own site.
