Link title with anchor text
-
Will there be any additional SEO value if we add link title in addition to anchor text.?
Can you compare link title with image title?
Thanks.

Yes but when you said "Can you compare link title with image title?"
Did you mean compare with image ttitle or image alt text.
either way answer above covers it I think

No, you will not gain additional SEO value in your links if you include the link title in conjunction with your anchor text. All it does is increase the relevancy on your page.
Link title and image title work in similar ways but unfortunately do not pass any extra SEO benefit. You will know when a website employs link/image titles by hovering over the image or link - words will display near your cursor.
And although this wasn't part of your question, image ALT text (which is different from image title text) will help your SEO efforts if you are trying to optimize for image search as it is one of the major ranking factors.

You mean image alt text?
The title field does not pass relevancy as the link text or alt text does. But that does not mena it does not have any value.
i like to add it, as it MAY work as page relevacy. SE like to know that your link came from a relevant page, the title tag MAY be inlcluded in that. What I am saying is that you will not rank for the title text like you can for the link text. But it MAY add value to the link by making the linking page more relevant.
Since it is nice to have for the user, it is woth doing just in case.

Text hidden by Java
We are developing a new website and intent to use Javascript to make the page more manageable on the screen with a show more / show less. For example http://www.tanzaniaodyssey1.com/tanzania/serengeti where a large amount of the content of the page is "hidden". from what i can see although google won't penalise us but am i right in saying that this content will not be indexed and will count for google ???? I need to make sure that this text is indexed but i also don't want to have horrendously long un-user friendly pages, **Does any one have a way round this ? (could i put the words in a <noscript tag="" ...<="" strong=""></p></noscript>**

Outbound Links
I have a page on upstrap-pro.com that provides weights of cameras and lenses. The user/buyer of my on-slip camera straps needs to know the weight his camera and lens to determine the proper pad size... large to small. We have put together a long list of the most popular customer cameras. The way it was done (by my daughter) was to also provide a via a link to dpreview.com which is an excellent site for camera information including specifications etc. My personal feeling about this is mixed. I can do it by having it open dpreview.com in a new tab but then the user/customer could still get distracted and go down the rabbit hole. On the other hand dpreview is such a good site that if they are new to photography and don't know about it, they should. I don't get a dime from dpreview. If fact I doubt they would ever link back to me because they do not write about camera straps. I hear mixed things about outbound links. In this file there are quite a few outbound links to dpreview to keep it consistent. I could do a nofollow on all of them but I read that this is the easy way out. Google is jump ball and I have no clue what Cutts and his merry men are going to decide is cool or not cool. I'd like some thoughts or options... Thanks... A small part of the file below.
