For example have been naming my image files with keywords such as cleaning_logo.gif instead of just logo.gif. Also, my html files I have been giving titles such as cleaning_sponsors.html instead of just sponsors.html. Do the search engines "care" about this, or am I just wasting my time?
Thanks so much!

Alt atributes in images that are links are very important as they serve as the anchor text of the link. Not sure what you mean with anchor links, but I'll assume you mean the anchor text of a link. Very important as well. The title atribute I never use for
SEO purposes.
As to file names. Don't use _ but in stead -
so your cleaning_sponsors.html should be cleaning-sponsors.html
_ is a character to Google, while - is interpreted as a space, thus making it possible to recognize individual words.
