Thanks for the advice ADAM.

I never gave the h2 tag a second thought when i expanded it to contain an entire sentence, but for the sake of argument, i just created a new paragraph class for that instance, so that eliminates that.

Also, i guess i never really understood the concept behind "keyword stuffing". i heard the phrase and i imagined it referred to using repetitive use of keywords and descriptions thoughout all the alt tags or titles within the page.

Somewhere, some way, I started including the page title in an alt tag within the page and also the page description within another alt tag and the keywords within another.

The title and description instances can probably be considered appropriate since i use them with the company logo, but the keywords are, as you say, "stuffed", since they are just added to a random alt tag. I do one instance of this on every page of my site...and other sites I have developed, so, whether this is causing me a penalty or not, I don't want to be accused of stuffing, so i will work harder to make practical use of keywords within alt tags that are appropriate.

Overall, this update has confused me since i just tripped on one of my keywords in the #6 position, yet my overall Google traffic is down by 80% or more.

I will take a closer look at the datacenter you referenced and see if things are moving along. Thanks for the advice.
