I read somewhere that Google only uses the first 500 words on a page, is this true? I have a ton of long pages so one thing we do is not use alt tags on our pictures, giving us more words from the descriptions.

Thanks

Don't bother reading there ever again.

Sometime back in the last century 101kb of a documents source code was the maximum that was retrieved, but that is NOT the case anymore.

I split off the alt tag vs. alt attribute debate.
