May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.

Certainly, the search engines would look at the text and virtually ignore the icons. That's not the purpose of the icons, however. They are for the humans who actually arrive on the site to have an easier time finding what they came for. There are literally thousands of things that can alter a sites placement in search results. Amount, and density, or matching keywords is certainly among those thousands of things. You have to understand, this is a whole profession, that takes lots of people working full time to make a site place well in search engines. You better believe we have people here dedicated solely to that task and any clever Web developer would be able to recognize some rudementary things happening here that weren't happening over at WTB.

My questions weren't meant to question anyone's ability at Abby's but were a question of 'how' as I thought I had stated. I see what comes up when I do searches, what brought up those searches and, when I make changes, the difference in the search results. I did not assume that that is all there was to placing a site in a search engine, however, which is why I asked the questions I did. Thank you for the information. Paula

Paula No, I didn't think you were questioning anyone's anything. I was just hoping you weren't looking for a real explanation because there is no simple explanation so I simply wanted to convey that fact.
