As I try to optimize my web sites for SEs, I would like not to get blacklisted. For example,
I have a site selling coffee, and I am naming every image on every page; I am giving images
names such as: coffeeIcon1.gif / coffeeIcon2.gif. will SEs turn around and say: why are you naming
your images like that?

Are the guidelines out there that I can refer to?
Or is there a previous POST that I missed?

I don't know of any S/E that extracts a word from a url string such as "coffeeIcon1".
You would need to separate like this
"coffee-Icon1"

A cleaner way to do it would be to house your images in a folder called "coffee" thus the image would then become "coffe/dark.gif"

But after all this trouble, the gains with the few S/Es that take any notice would be very small (IMHO).

Agreed piskie. Only thing to consider is if you want to get image directory listings. Fast and Google both have image engines that primarily work off of filenames.
