Q: Your site map has more than 100 links to your pages, What is the best way to design link structure?
A: Create a hierarchy of links, and split up the site map into multiple pages. Because search engines are hesitant to give any specific guidelines on how to optimize our websites, any small detail becomes very important. As far as site maps are concerned, this is an issue where it pays to listen to the search engines, especially since with large content sites well-designed site maps are a sure bet that your site will be quickly indexed.
Google’s Webmaster Guidelines clearly state that you should limit your sitemaps to less than 100 links per page, and that it is better to use a hierarchy that signifies the site structure and the importance of these pages. It is good advice to follow, especially when a search engine says that “look, this helps us index your site better”.
Q: For optimization purposes, how should you use images on your site?
A: Use the alt tag to accurately describe the each image, and include descriptive content around each image. At the very least, images should contain alt tags with one or two keywords describing that image, and you should try surrounding that image with relevant text. If the image is not used in context (i.e. it is not part of a content page or an article), you should add a couple of lines below the image describing it. In essence, what you would do if you were caring for people whose browsers disabled images and those who wanted some details about the images.

Mean while if you have time and knowledge do reply for my this question about SEO, is it science or art?
Is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) an Art or a Science?
It is a struggle between art and science that frustrates many. The responsibilities of web developing — the art — clash with the role of the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) — the science. That is why some companies and development firms are designating web developer and optimizer as two distinctive jobs.
It is a job that can be done by anyone, but to be affective in a competitive marketplace the SEO needs to have only SEO duties. When developing the site, the SEO needs to be consulted on all issues.
SEO is both art and science. It’s like cooking; anyone can pick up a cookbook and prepare a dish based on the instructions, but not everyone can be great chef. The “science” of SEO is very well publicized, and anyone with the desire and a modicum of intelligence can pick up the technical side of SEO from books or the web. The “art” is what separates successful SEO from the hacks. This includes strategy, writing, targeted efforts to get high-quality links and other “soft” but critical SEO skills.
