Best practices for on-page SEO say that the alt text for an IMG tag should be equal to the keyphrase that the page is optimized for. So if you are optimizing a page for 'blue widgets' then having an IMG with alt text = 'blue widgets' would be good. You may also want to name the image file blue-widgets.jpg (or blue-widgets.png or .gif). It's one of several on-page signals you can send Google that this page is all about blue widgets.

Seasonal homepage titles?
Hiya guys, I'm wondering if it's worth updating my website's homepage title to focus on a seasonal message in the run-up to Christmas, or if I would be better to leave it as standard and focus on a more specific category page with a seasonal title and content? Cheers, JAR

Translated text: should I use canonical link?
Hello everybody, I'm writing an article in Danish, which I have translated into English on a Danish blog. But I'm not sure if I have to use the canonical link from the English version to the Danish, or whether I should just publish both without using canonical link. What is your recommendation for this? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks & regards, Jonathan

Blogger Outreach - have you used this service before?
Hi, Has anyone used blogdash.com before? It says it has over 100,000 blog owners registered, which does sound good but when you look at the sites own social following its very poor and when you start to dig a little deeper you can find blog owner profiles like this: http://www.blogdash.com/blogger/ari-herzog First view, you think Ari Herzog has signed up to Blog Dash and you can pitch him content for blogs such as Huffington Post and Mashable, took about 10 seconds to realise he isn't actually part of the network as the yellow box is asking him to signup if he ever finds that page. Has anyone used this service? I can imagine 2% out of the 100,000 are actually members who have signed up.

2,500 Word blog post? What's your advice?
Most of my blog posts end up being 400-600 words, sometimes more, sometimes less. I have written one that is 2,500 words this time. If it were you, would you make one huge post, or split it into two or three? Or would you say it wholly depends on my site and the type of content? As far as link bait goes, one page is better . . . I guess. But would anyone ever read a 2,500 word blog post, even it it's about a subject he/she is interested in? Additionally, what's better for SEO? Just wants some second opinions. Thanks!
