We've been dealing with the impact of secure web browsing from a content filtering aspect for sometime. Never thought of the impact on SEO. Interesting change in how Google is handling searches.

And Yahoo's half wrong. We often apply both alt tags and title attributes to images. I just confirmed that without a title attribute no text appears when hovering the mouse over the image in Firefox, but the alt text will appear in Internet Explorer. With a title attribute in place, that's what shows up when you hover in both Firefox and IE. You may well be right, Doll. And Yahoo’s half wrong.

In their help, at: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/sitebuilder2/images/images-05.html They say: "Alt text is the text your site visitors will see when an image is loading or when they move their cursor over an image." So maybe they don't support the title text because they think that's what the alt text is for! Yeah, Yahoo! seems a bit confused about image alt text in their Site Builder. In their help, at:

They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for novices. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

I like your article as a terrific overview of SEO. The only thing I would take issue with is your endorsement of 3-way link exchanges. We advised against that more than a year ago: http://www.rankmagic.com/blog/2010/09/avoid-3-way-link-schemes/ Other than that, I find little or nothing to disagree with. Thanks, Emily.

You are absolutely right in comparing SEO to a marathon because so much time is invested into it. Work upon work is built up over time to maintain good SEO for your website. Off-page and on-page factors both contribute to SEO success.
