I have a page on my site with all sorts of poop.

I have been studying SEO for almost a year now, I particpate in this SEO Forum also, some real hot shots there. SEO is a real big thing. Your website don't mean squat if no one can find it, unless you just have a page for just for a hobby. My site is 6 months old, I have a PR 0, but have good position with some key phrases. I work on my SEO almost everyday. Lastly, WE has some real good tools to improve SEO, for example putting Key Phrases on Image ALTS, and taking a H1 Keyword Phrase and sending it backwards behind an image so it shows up in the Source Code..yada .. yada

I have just started to look at this issue intensively myself, for obvious reasons. My initial readings seem to indicate that if you hide text / keywords and the like behind images some search engines will penalize you or even ban you. Am I interpreting things wrong? Is hiding things behind images a real issue or a non-issue? SEO is clearly important, and I don't want to inadvertently step on the engines' toes.

You are misunderstanding me. If you put white text on a white background, that's 'Black Hat' SEO, and you will get penalized for that. Now, what I was trying to explain is that technique to improve SEO is to have <H1> keyword phrases </H1> in your Source Code. There are several ways to do this, one way with WE is to make a phrase using Heading 1, and send it Backwards behind an Image, when you publish, you will see it in your Source Code as a <h1>... do you understand? What are you trying to Market ?

Thanks, WebMonkey08, that points me in the right direction. I'll read up on your SEO section on your website (that looks promising) and get back to you when I digest that. Your SEO section is very handy - I'm glad people publish a topic like this and make it available. Keep up the good work.
