I noted that Google use web page content when they index pages for SEO purposes. Therefore, what I did was I created the web pages and I used lot of keyword on the web pages. Then I applied the background color to the above keywords to show users.
Question is do they block this kind of pages?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is something you really need an expert for these days. The days of having some keywords and meta-data only have long gone, so you need to keep up to date with current SEO tricks to get your site up the Google ranking. You can also check the Alexa rankings for your website.
Take a look at the SEO guidelines from Google here
Take a look at some pointers here and here, but you really need to invest some time and research into the best practices.
You should also make your site as accessible as possible, this will make the site easier to spider, there are some tools here to look at and there's a site here you can use.

I am the developer of Infermap.com. We are regularly monitoring and working on SEO and presence on Google SERPs. In the past 3-4 days we have seen a sudden steep drop in the number of Impressions on Google.
Can someone suggest me the possible reason of why might this happen and by what ways I can prevent it.
Also I have added around 11k urls to be indexed out of which only 1.5k has been indexed. What are the possible reasons for it?
(note: this question should probably be moved to Webmasters Stack Exchange)
Looks like your 11k new URLs have not been picked up as quality content by Google. You might even be cloaking, when I click on a result I get a completely different text on your site.
Ways to avoid it:
avoid cloaking
avoid adding similar looking pages without unique content, e.g. make sure your pages are unique enough before publishing them
feed new content that looks alike gradually, e.g. start with 100 pages, wait a week or two, and add another 200. Once you are confident your pages are picked up well you can add everything at once.

I am just starting to work on my first responsive site and am realizing some SEO things may fit on the front page of our site may not fit 'naturally' on the front page of the mobile version.
Is there anyway to ensure search engines see the full-size site?
Once complicating matter is that I am designing the site 'mobile first'. So the site does not default to full-size, it defaults to mobile sizes.
Assuming you deliver the same content to the end user regardless of device, and just show/hide or reformat based upon a media query, it really doesn’t matter. Google will still get the full content of the page so will index all of your content. What is visible in the viewport isn’t really significant to Google.
Google will, however, understand the use of media queries and give you some additional SEO benefits as a result. Google favours responsive design over separate sites/mobile specific pages. Responsive design also helps improve the indexing efficiency of the Googlebot.
One thing they do advise is not to block access to any of your ‘external’ resources (css, js, images etc)
Plenty of good information here

Its only 5-6 months we have launched our website. Can I get any tips so that I can optimize my website for searching.
You could register your website on the Google Webmaster tool :

Not only you'll find a few tips about their SEO, but it will warn you if the Google crawler had problems while visiting your website, which could be the reason for your website to be ranked poorly.
That is true about Meta tags - not relevant now.
There is no simple recipe to increase PageRank and search engines position.
There are huge amount of guides on web that can help. Professional companies offering positioning for payment. And also not every positioning practice is also "fair" and legal.
But for the general, I would say to answer your question:
keep your web-code clean, and if possible meeting the W3C validators requirements: http://validator.w3.org/
keep good-quality content

I have developed a website for a firm that deals in pumps, valves and diesel engines. They require that when an interested user searches with some keywords like "Pump Dealers" or "Valve Dealers", their site should appear in the results. Currently I am not aware of how I can go about this, so my question is what should I do in order for better page ranking. I am using meaningful page titles and have enough text in every page.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Firstly Pagerank is irrelevant these days, so don't worry about that.
You should ensure that you use Google's Webmaster Tools to check that Google knows about your site etc. This will tell you what things it is coming up for on Google.
Make sure that the page has the text on it you want to rank for - as you mention, titles, headers etc will help but don't over do it.
The main thing to do is to get links to your site – write interesting blog posts, contact customers etc so they link to you.
It really depends on who your competition is for those terms - if there are already 10 huge companies ranking for those terms then you are stuck.
The other way to do this is to buy Adwords – this will likely cost upwards of $5-10 a day to get any meaningful traffic though.

lets say i have a website that i am developing...
the site may have wallpapers, question & answers, info (e.g imdb,wikipedia etcetera)

please i am new to this so pardon my non-techy jargon...
The most important tips in SEO revolve around what not to do:
Keep Java and Flash as minimal as is possible, web crawlers can't parse them. Javascript can accomplish the vast majority of Flash-like animations, but it's generally best to avoid them altogether.
Avoid using images to replace text or headings. Remember that any text in images won't be parsed. If necessary, there are SEO-friendly ways of replacing text with images, but any time you have text not visible to the user, you risk the crawler thinking your trying to cheat the system.
Don't try to be too clever. The best way to optimize your search results is to have quality content which engages your audience. Be wary of anyone who claims they can improve your results artificially; Google is usually smarter than they are.
Search engines (like Google) usually use the content in <h1> tags to find out the content of your page and determine how relevant your page is to that content by the number of sites that link to your page.
