The images on your page should be relevant to your pages content, so describe them with an alt tag naturally will add relevance. The length is not important, but I would not stuff they will a long list of keywords.

RE: I have 5 sites each targeting a different service my company offers, should I consolidate to one site or merge to one?
Are they simular sites?
if yes then yes I would consolidate, 301 all links to the one site and stop splitting your efforts.
If the sites are not relevant to each other then no.

RE: Google Caches Different URL
As you can see here Bing does the same http://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Akeesen.co.in+nfl&src=IE-TopResult&FORM=IETR02&conversationid=
so it looks like you have a problem on your site, or rather had a problem.
I did a crawl of your site and I could not find any reference to the NFL site. but I think some time in the past there was a problem when your sites got crawled by both Google and Bing. See if it goes away over the next few weeks.

RE: Should I embark on this long term link building campaign?
I wont disagree, links can be good, but links that you can just go out and get are usually not worth it.
Quality and unique content described by Egol is what you need.Click data will eventually get you ranking better and better for the keywords that your content deserves not necessarily the ones you wont to rank for. Search engines look at the activities of users, they see what keywords they enter and what results they click on, did the user come back and click on a different result, what was the last result they clicked on. From all this click data they can start to see what results served the users needs for each keyword and rank you accordingly.
I create many websites for people, from their content and purpose I can just tell if they are going to successful. I make sure the site crawls perfectly with no errors no redirects and mess, I make sure the content is described to the search engine well using structured data, its the clients job to supply good content. If that content is good. I will see over the next few months it continually rise in the rankings.
click data will eventually overrule everything, of your site does not satisfy the users needs the search engine will eventually know this no matter how many links you have, and visa versa

RE: Is my SEO company a scam?
Links don't have to be relevant, its not to say that non-relevant links don't carry any link juice at all, but it is better to have relevant ones.
But I doubt that this guys links have any benefit at all. And if he is using some black hat schema to get these links, then one day that link network maybe or already discovered and you may get a penalty.
This happened in the past where a large number of link networks that sold links were put out of business overnight.Get him to remove all the links and get rid of him.

RE: Questions about duplicate photo content?
I do now see where he did also claim visa versa that using originals wont help either.
why would matt or rand mention it? they don't work for google they will not know everything.
But he also said to the best of his knowledge, at that time, and that in the future that may change and it was 2 years ago. So I would still try to get original images if you can.

RE: Is it worth it to get links from my suppliers?
To the point Egol
I am not sure how google see the relevance, but getting a link from a relevant business that is not in the business of giving out links is a good link.

RE: Is it worth to get links from startup directorys?
There is one more and very important point here. Can almost anyone get a link here? if so, then I would say no.

RE: Getting some links, when will I see results?
Patrick is on the money here,
when you say you are getting links, did you go out and get them or are they natural.
I don't think google is interested in 99% of any link you can go out and get yourself.
And those that appear naturally are also 99% crap.
You can get good sites to link to you but it is not easy, and you may get good sites to link to you naturally over time. IMO you are better off spending time in making sure your sites crawls perfectly, making sure you have good content, and describing your site to google using structured data.
If your site is a good result for your keywords click data alone can do wonders for ranking -
RE: Questions about duplicate photo content?
But they may reward you for unique images.

RE: Is my SEO company a scam?
sometimes it is better to get a new domain and start again. And do not 301 old domain to your new one.
There are things to consider before doing so, but it sounds like to me your links are crappy,, and who knows what else they have done. -
RE: Ranking in SERPs but not using terms on website.
If I link to your website with the link text "SEO Moz" you can then rank for the term "SEO Moz" without having it on your site.

RE: What's the best way to pass link juice to a page on another domain?
Patrick makes some good suggestions, one other thing you can try, is to try and place the form in a iframe, then you can use the iframe page for your sitelinks.

RE: Dup Title tags
I would not no index any pages, this sounds like a job for a canonical tag.
if you do decide to noindex pages, make sure you noindex,follow, you never want links pointing to no nofolow pages as they pour away link juice into the ether. if you make sure they are follow the link juice will pour back thought the out links on the pages.
I crawled your site and did not find any links pointing to those urls.
I did find a lot of other problems, the worse being 100 broken links, and 160 unnecessary redirects.

RE: Tricky 301 question
That's my point, you only need to worry about the pages that had external links

RE: Blog subdomain not redirecting
Take a copy of the htaccess file, if something goes wrong, then you can always go back
-
RE: Preventing CNAME Site Duplications
No,
it is because you are pointing sales to a different sever, it seems to me that you don't have your dns set up correctly. you don't want sales pointing to your main website. -
RE: Blog subdomain not redirecting
The logic I used is like this.
rather than have a rules like
If wearing jeans, you must wear the school uniform
If wearing hoodie, you must wear the school uniform
If wearing a thong, you must wear the school uniform
If naked, you must wear the school uniformyou only need one rule
If not wearing school uniform, you must wear the school uniform -
RE: Blog subdomain not redirecting
in htaccess "!" means not so try this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]also when using regex special chars like "." should be escaped with "" see above www.domain.com

RE: Blog subdomain not redirecting
Ok, I think I understand a bit better, you don't have a blog?
Then I would remove the dns record for blog, if you cant do that then yes you could 301 redirectYou can do this in one redirect following the logic
if not www.domain.com then redirect to www.domain.com
