How to compete with SEO giants

Be better at a small part of it. Some areas are tough to compete in as you need to start optimizing against massive SEO sites. Think about the Tripadvisor, Indeeds, etc., of this world that has been in the game for many years. They have tens of millions of users from searches every month. But where you can still win often is to take a small part of that you want to rank for and go nuts on optimizing that. Those types of sites have in common that they have to do SEO at scale, so they aren't able to focus on minor details or optimize content continuously on a specific topic. As a small player, you have the ability to do that often, and so you're slowly building out your way on how to compete with them. With the ability to have high-quality content, you're also able to start driving the same links as those giants will have.
I realize this answer isn't very tactical, but hopefully, you get the point of view from this that will help you start planning out what it's all about to rank better against them.

Is there anything I can do to my images other than naming them correctly to have with SEO? Size? File type? Maybe adding text on top of them to pick up OCR? Thank you,

Lightboxes and SEO
Do lightboxes (AKA popup boxes when you click "learn more" type CTAs) have any negative effect on SEO? We are looking at revamping our sites to have more of a tiled approach, and a lightbox with summary content popping out with additional CTAs, directing to pages with more information or free trial pages. Is there any downside to this approach from an organic perspective? is there anything specific to keep in mind when creating these if not?

Are Their Any SEO Dangers When Cleaning Up a Site
I'm doing some housekeeping on my website. Removing old blogs that are out of date (2008) or things have moved on. The blogs I'm removing are being 301'd to relevant newer blogs. Can this type of clean up cause any problems that affect the optimisation of a site? Looking forward to hearing your views. Christina

Page information out of date - implications for SEO
Hi everyone, We have a page on our website which is optimised for "London to Amsterdam trains" and "Any Dutch station" (a particular fare type). It's one of the best performing pages in terms of organic SEO. However the fare is being discontinued so the information is now redundant... what should we do? It's an old blog post so it's dated but it will be frustrating for people to get to it through a search engine and then realise that it's old information. Should we create a new page and optimise it for the same keywords or will this be detrimental? Should we update the original page or add a note that links to a new page? Confused as to the best way forward... Thanks Nila

Server cache and SEO
I have a question about server cache and seo. For example. www.chanel.com.cn , the server is in US, and uses China Cache to improve local Chinese users access speed, so what do you think this way will work for search engines spiders too? when a spider is crawlling the website, does the content it crawl on US server or China cache? what's best practice for those kind of SEO on server side? thanks Boson
