Hello,
I am going to publish a site which has lot's of content into some Ajax Toolkit TABS.
For each product in the site, there's a "General", "Article" or "Details" tabs, the content of each tab is static, so is all generated and sent to the browser when the page is requested. There is almost no information regarding the product outside of the tab control.
The question is: Since all the tabcontrol when rendered is a DIV with "visibility:hidden;" style attribute, and each tab (but the first) has a "display:none;visibility:hidden;", do this causes the site and the content to be penalized by Google?
If yes, is there any alternative way to do that?
Thanks,
Michele
Google doesn't actually read the visibility of the controls, as long as they are on the source of the page, it will crawl it.
Hi,
are you sure about it? Beacause all what I've read tells the opposite... For examplehere and also in thegoogle webmaster guidelines.
The metter is not about if google detects hidden text (it also downloads external css, even if in this case is not necessary since the visibility attributes are directly in the rendered page), but if the hidden text is consider as spam, and if will penalize the content which is hidden.
The website I am going to publish contains a "full page" tab with all the page content, divided into "sections" by different tabs, this is why I am a bit worried about it, the tab do not contains only a "news section" or something small which I don't care if its content will be penalized or ignored by the crawler, but all the content of the page.
I had this doubt is beacause when I've seen a tab rendered, it is ALL contanied into a "visibility:hidden;" div, and each tab is contained into a "display:none;visibility:hidden;" div. Of course the content is visible (thanks to javascript the activetab is visible when the page is rendered and all the other content is visible when the user selects the tab), the fear is that all this could be interpreted as spam, even if it's not.
Thanks,
Michele
