I have checked the competitors' sites and haven't noticed
anything different. I do need to check again, though, as it's
been a while.
I hesitate to use large paragraphs in Alt tags because, well, I
hate them as a user. When my mouse pointer passes over a
graphic and a huge paragraph of words obviously meant for
search engines is there, it doesn't sit well with me.
Do all of you resubmit sites on a regular basis? Is this
something one should do weekly, monthly ... ? Has anyone
else used AddWeb?
