This does not necessarily prove your hypothesis especially if the blog you used to test this was a blogspot blog.

I sincerely appreciate your thoughts. It is a blogspot blog, however, you need to remember that the text that was used in alt attribute did not have a single result earlier, which indicates that there is no link strength available on that particular term. Later the blog shows up on that particular term which exists only on one web page in the WWW.So I still think it has to be the link to that particular page with the alt text which is the reason for the blog appearing in search result when searched for the text used as alt attribute.Had the blog’s existing link equity been a factor in this setup, the blog should have shown up initially in the search result when I tried to verify if there is any search result for the word used as alt attribute.

I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. It does not matter that particular blogspot blog did not exist and there were no search results for the keyword you used. Blogspot is Google’s blog network and any time a new blog is added under the blogspot domain that blog will get crawled and indexed. So, simply by adding a blog to blogpsot will bring Google to that blog. Since the keyword you used has no competition it will be easy for it to rank as it will be the most useful (and only) site that uses that keyword.To make this test valid you would need to put a site up on its own domain and outside any of the blog networks that automatically get crawled when a new blog is added.
