SEO for Image only posts
-
Let's say I have a post where I show 25 different wood textures. I start the post with a small paragraph and then I show several images of wood textures linked to an internal or external page.
Since I don't use a text link, then I have to rely on alt tags.
It would be very difficult to assign a different alt tag to so many similar images, and I guess there would be a risk of keyword stuffing (walnut wood, oak wood, etc).
On the other side, if I assign the same tag to all images, then that clearly is keyword stuffing (alt=wood textures).
This is just an example, but it applies to most of my posts.
What do you think I should do with the alt tags?
Thanks!

About the CSS: i have no idea, but i noticed it in other posts ... What browser are you using?
If you're afraid of keyword stuffing, you could:
-
remove the title-tag from TEXT-link
-
include both IMG and TEXT in one link with one title=tag
-
include both IMG and TEXT in one link without title=tag, only ALT-tag
If the image also serves as a link you could potentially include both ALT and TITEL tag. But with a TEXT-link beneath, perhaps you would be keywordstuffing.
SEO wise (both IMG and TEXT) it would be best to use one ALT and one TITLE per image/link combo.

Ok, sounds a lot of work but it's a logical answer, thanks alsvik.
And what about when images have links below them? Wouldn't that be keyword stuffing or something?
I'm not looking to over optimize my page, I simply want to do it the right way.
And, no, it is not a shop, it is a graphic design site.
Thanks!
EDIT: Why whenever I post something here, a lot of css code appears below my post forcing me to go and edit it each time?

I would definitely use the alt text. But i would try to avoid keyword stuffing by only using the type/kind of wood in the picture:
alt="Californian Oak"
alt="Canadian Walnut"
alt="Japanese Cherry"
But is this for a gallery a shop or...? There's a major difference in what would be interesting for the customer to know about the images.
And perhaps you will find this discussion interesting!

Does anyone have any experience with Instart Logic, and its effects (if any) on SEO?
Instart Logic is a content delivery network CDN, which claims to have a positive effect on time to first bite (TTFB). Faster site = good for SEO, right? Our initial investigation seems to confirm its claims to some degree, which is great, but at the same time we think it may lower our score on Google's PageSpeed Insights tool, which sort of negates its effect in other areas. If the user experience is worse (according to Google's own tool), are we effectively shooting ourselves in the foot by concentrating on TTFB as a ranking algorithm factor? For reference: https://moz.com/blog/improving-search-rank-by-optimizing-your-time-to-first-byte

Infinite scroll SEO
I was curious about the implications of Infinite scroll homepages on SEO, and more specifically, no-indexing subpages of the homepage (ie www.homepage.com/page/2/ ). I know its often a good practice to noindex subpages of archives, but in this case, would it be a bad idea? Thanks!

Re-naming pages without affecting SEO
Due to the management software used for a lot of our websites, the URLs for specific pages appears as: brand.com/page/pagename/number I want to add slug URLs so that they appear as: brand.com/pagename First of all, do you think this is an effective use of my time and will it significantly benefit SEO in the long run. Secondly, these pages have developed a decent PA over time and I don't want to lose that. Will adding 301s for all the renamed pages be enough to not have a negative effect?

Pages vs Posts
What are your thoughts on pages vs posts? I am setting up a new blog for a client but not sure how to structure the content. I may just do posts or a whole bunch of page listed down the sidebar. It seems like my pages always rank better than my posts. Has anyone else noticed this? Could it be because of the dates tied posts?

Home Page SEO
Hi! We recently re-designed our home page in early March. After Google panda, we re-tweaked it again, before we take it live, we really want to get some expert's opinions. We would be grateful for any comments/suggestions/feedback, particularly in the following area (you will need to click a few times to get the page to real size): is the bottom content ok? please scroll down all the way. 2) We used semantic keywords for 5-6 anchor interlinks to the same page to promote core products from the home page. Is this too much? 80% links on the footer is a repetition of header navigation links, do these footer serve any SEO value or is it over - optimization? Here is the URL: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/36547134/1/WebDesign?h=109d4a Thanks a lot!
