Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I've searched around for a maximum number of characters to use when writing alt tags, but not seeing anything more than "don't keyword stuff." Is there a recommended number of characters?

Now THAT's why I wish I could afford an SEO consultant!

Thanks Brian,

Good answer, thanks, but what is OGP and schema markup?

I have a social networking website built on a SocialEngine platform. All of the pages (except the home page) are password protected for members only.

My web designer wants the home page to be primarily graphics - not text. It looks nice, but with no substantial copy on the page, can I still get the page to rank well with just meta title, description and keywords (even when those keywords aren't actually on the page?)

What's the best way to handle this?

I'm seeing about 450 warnings on this.

What is "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical."

And what do I need to do to fix it?

Thanks Mat!

My understanding is that a URL should be as short as possible and also match the title tag, but in order to keep the URL shorter, can you abbreviate it?

For example:

Title Tag: Eat Your Way to Beauty with Superfoods

URL: websitename.com/sbeauty-with-superfoods
