Moving code from external stylesheet to internal

[Stapes]

Hi
I have this entry in my stylesheet main1.css:

#head {
width: 310px;
height: 60px;
float: left;
display: block;
background-image: url(logo.jpg);
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

I am trying to move it into the web page code for Search Engine
Optimisation purposes, thus:

<div id="head-logo" style="width:31 0px; height:115px; float:left;
background-position: left top; display:block;" ><img src="logo.jpg"
width="178" height="59" alt="Driving Instructor Insurance - Instructor
Cover"></div>

The logo in the revised version comes out an inch or so to the right
of its previous position. What am I doing wrong?

Well John,
we paid for a report from Neutralize: Independent Internet Marketing
Services,

Oh no... hope you didn't pay too much.

who say this:

The present top header should be seperated so that the logo can be
used as a home page link, this would enable the optimisation of the
page with added alt text; alt tag and link can then be applied.

"Seperated" ?

Typical buzzword fluff:

"Our full service organic search engine optimisation (SEO) packages
ensure ROI through indexability and maximum visibility within
algorithmic search engines such as Google, MSN & Yahoo! Search."

<gag>

The only true SEO techniques I've run across are offers to rewrite a
site's code and content, using real (hopefully unique) keywords within
the visible content.

What exactly do you mean by 'morally invalid'? Is there anything
morally valid about car insurance?

It costs way too much?

Organic? You mean, cheap interns?

Would you say the same regarding the top header here:http://www.hotel-victoria.co.uk/, which uses /Portals/0/Hotel/Flash/
Banner.swf in flash?

Flash is problematic for accessible content, pretty good for eye
candy.

The hotel site you cite is an interesting example. Usually Flash
headers like this are terrible: a hefty download to a trivial thing
that isn't worth it, and often ugly too. This one though is better
done than the usual and is an attractive and valuable addition to the
site.

It's still eye candy though. It's a scrolling wallpaper that no-one
can focus on, no-one can understand and it's just there to look good.
If it did have alt text, the text would be "Opulence. Now believe us".

It's not content. Nor is its _function_ to drive search engines. So
don't worry about in that sense. If you do need content (real content)
about the rooms shown on the banner, then write some content and some
proper <img>s to describe them, and treat that as accessible and
spiderable content.

The flash is the least of the problems on that page; it's just
distracting. See how the page looks in my browser:

And on dialup for more than a minute all I saw was a pretty white rectangle!
