Is a particular page not ranking for any reason?

I posted about the Google WEbmaster tools Structured Data set up in this thread here: http://moz.com/community/q/using-google-structured-data-for-seo-benefit
Just a follow up question (or separate)... would having a lot of products with marked up data (via webmaster tools and not on page) hurt SEO rankings? I have not got any warning/notice etc in Google Webmaster tools about it.

Hi there
I would suggest marking up every product you have. I would focus efforts onsite via Schema - I would imagine your product pages are set up on a template, so if you add the code into the template, it should automatically add markup to all of the products. I would take to your web dev team about that though.
The reason I would focus on Schema - having Schema markup can potentially increase your rankings and improve your click through rates via enhanced snippets; not to mention, this markup is recognized by more than just Google, so you are marking up for multiple search engines, not just Google like you would be if you do it through just WMT.
I would also suggest looking into a secure protocol for your site (https) as that is a ranking factor and you are an ecommerce website. It's important to let search engines know that you are protecting information from customers and value their privacy. It's thought by some that having a privacy policy page (among others) is considered a good trust signal to search engines - but either way, it's comforting for a user looking to make a purchase.
Don't forget to do some competitor research to get an idea of opportunities others are taking advantage of.
Lastly, be sure to avoid common ecommerce SEO mistakes - here's a great resource on those. And be sure to check your Pagespeed Insights - the site seems to be loading slow for me.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Will including "Contact Me" form degrade Google page ranking?
I have a content-rich page about one of my offerings. Will Google knock down the ranking if I include a contact me reply form on the page vs including a link to a standalone reply page? My concern is that including the form will cause Google to downgrade the page as being "too commercial".

How many pages should we optimise?
I have more than 250 pages on my site including my products. Is it a good idea to optimise each page with a unique keyword or is there a limit to the number of pages we should aim for?

Should I autogenerate 25k pages?
My main product is database conversion software. As we support tons of databases, it's pretty easy to generate thousands of pages simply by creating a template and changing source/target database name, some information on how to connect etc. Of course, getting links to that many autogenerated pages is close to impossible. So, not wanting to endanger my main site (http://www.spectralcore.com) I created a separate site (minisite) for this product alone (http://www.fullconvert.com). In two months this new site is live, it got to the point of having over 1k visitors per month. That's for a site with no inbound links or history. Now, my question is - should I create equivalent thing on my main site, with different template to avoid duplicate content - and leverage history and authority - or Google can get me penalized for this practice. I don't think 25k generated pages are a bad thing, they simply provide for tons of highly targeted landing pages. Am I wrong?

Images being ranked
I have a client who is concerned about the performance of his images ranking on Google Images. I have taken a look at the obvious things like - alt tags, title tags , file names. I am not sure why he is struggling quite so much to get his images ranked well as the sites he is competing against and who are already ranking are a very poor quality. This is his site - http://www.ukweddingfavours.co.uk Would really appreciate your feedback and I can dish out some good answers.

Blog page outranks static page for KW -- why?
Blog page ranks 10 in Google, while the static page is on page 7. What makes it more interesting is that the blog page scores an "F" with the Term Target tool while the static page scores an "A". Static page has more inbound links and a mR/mT of 3.89/ 4.54 vs. 3.71/ 4.14 for the blog page. Any ideas on how to approach this one?
