This is a matter of personal preference, I think too many ads on a web page makes it look like it holds little or no value to the person that is trying to find what they want. People do not go to websites to click ads, people want to find what they are looking for. I am not sure if Google would penalize you for using their ads, I do not publish ads for Google, so I have not put much thought into it.

Does it matter as to how many words you use to "name" the image or can you go on and on for a paragraph or two? |
Very often I use images to help me increase the relevancy of a web page for the keywords that I have defined in the <title> tag and meta tag keywords, as well as keywords that are in the textual contact of the website, including the optimized keyword phrases that I use when create my anchor text. If I wanted to optimized a photo of myself for the keyword phrase "
SEO Expert" I would name my photo something like seo_expert.gif and add it to a web page that had information about me that I wanted to optimize. To further optimize the image for the keyword phrase
SEO Expert, I would define ALT text to the image with this same keyword phrase.
I use many word keyword phrases and just single keywords when I name images, it just depend on what I am doing, and the approach that I feel it is best to take in order to receive the results that are desired.

From my experience the domain name does not play much of a role, any domain name can be optimized and made relevant for any keyword and/or keyword phrase.

Does that mean hot linking the word ' seo expert' on other websites? |
Back links are a very important part of keyword optimization. Adding back links to other websites with optimized keyword phrases helps to increase the relevancy of that keyword phrase and the keywords in the phrase, for the website that it is back linked to.

I assume you meant content, What roll does the size of a site play in seo, is it simply a matter of more content to be spidered? |
I was suggesting that you need more relevant content in your website. The best way to do that is to add more pages and try to target fewer keyword phrases on more web pages within your website.

What role does rewriting the content play? What about just adding more content as opposed to rewriting it? |
Rewriting the contact is needed in order to add more optimized keyword phrases. This is only required and recommend if the text in your website is determined to lack relevancy.

expound on this, what's the best way to do meta tags? How should they be done. Also, I thought the spiders no longer paid to much attention to the meta tags anymore, no?
Thanks... |
Meta Tags (Meta Tags added to a website many different ways)
You could ask 100
SEO Experts, web developers, and/or webmasters about what the best way to use meta tags is, and you may get 99 different answers. (I have found the way that meta tags are using is very import when they are used, but I have designed a few websites without meta tags, and I was surprised when my website was top 10 at Google, Yahoo, and MSN for the search phrase: cPanel Web Hosting (in one case) and the other site had the terms like the following term, including the following term: publish ads (in fact my site should still be ranked at least Top 10 in 2 out of the Big three search engines.)
When in question, a good way to see examples of how meta tags work, look at other websites that use similar keywords to your website! Just search Google, Yahoo, and MSN; Look at the first few websites as examples by viewing the source code of the homepage of the website and maybe a few other pages of the site.)
You are welcome, I hope this helps!
Very Kind Regards and Wishing you the Best,
