Why isn't there an SEO topic on this forum?

Anyway, do you think I could/will get penalized for keyword stuffing for this URL:
http://www.foremostgroups.com/home_furniture/patio_furniture/veranda_classics/patio_furniture.html

The repetition of the word 'furniture' wasn't my intention, but i just realized it...

Should I try to change this?

Thanks for any input...

I don't think you need all the furniture in the img alts, but other than that, I don't see you getting penalized. If you don't have furniture in the image descriptions, you don't need it in the alts, but I'd leave it in the titles.

And a quick note, your header is in an a tag, with CSS providing the image. I'd use this instead.
<h1>
<a id="header" href="" title="Title">
Text alternative
</a>
</h1>

#header {
text-indent:-1000em;
}

Good point about the image alt tags, i'll prob change them to something else, like "veranda patio set" or something of the sort.

<h1>
<a id="header" href="" title="Title">

}


Let me make sure I understand where you're going with this - In your example, the H1 tag would contain the image with CSS?

I realize that I can use a variety of different tags for this, but I've been told to use H tags in the header - as they should be used for the main topic of each page.

Well I normally have the company name in the h1. And I'd put the image as a background to the a. Then with no CSS, the text alternative will be displayed, and search engines will know it's a header.
