Content toggle, tabs ad accordion for seo text
-
Hello there,
I have two questions.
1. I want to ad seo text in content toggles, tabs and accordions. does Google robots view as seo text , eg, H1 text as it would be written direct on the page?
2. About Pinguin and link building. I am seeing up an onlineprintshop, where any industry can become a client. Lets say a medical company will be our client for prints. If they link back to our onlineprint page does Goole evaluates the link as a link from a related industry.
Thanks for your kind answer.
Kind Regards
Mike

HI Dariusz,
Hopefully I understand your question correctly. Let me answer each in turn.
1. If I understand correctly, you're asking if text contained within elements like tabs is viewed the same as text clearly visible on the page.
For the most part, Google will easily crawl and index this text, but keep in mind that Google tends to place more weight on body text above the fold than text place in other areas of the page. That means that content within sidebars, pushed to the bottom of the page, or hidden in navigation, while important, probably doesn't count as much in most circumstances.
If putting the text there makes sense to your visitors, by all means go ahead and do it. On the other hand, if you're doing it for SEO reasons, you might be asking for trouble.
2. Depends on the context. If it is a footer link with off-topic anchor text, then Google will possibly devalue the link. On the other hand, if the medical company writes a glowing blog post about their great printing company, then the link will likely carry lots of value and Google will consider it highly relevant.
Most likely, your link will fall somewhere in-between. The best links are
- unique (not-sitewide)
- Surrounded by relevant text (not just a bunch of other links)
- in the body of the text (not the footer, bottom of the page or sidebar)
- on a relevant page
- with anchor text varied from other similar links to your URL

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

1. As long as the content is genuine and you/ your visitors feel that those tabs are required along with some text, google is okay with that.
2. Make sure, those links are genuine links, google is smart enough to track down any malpractice, but if the no. is bit low that don't worry, Matt has just said that it is okay to have a few bad links. Refer: http://t.co/rhV6DjzQ
You should always try to not to get into any such activity appears to be fishy or you make some deliberate efforts to increase you back link count.
But if you're developing the links in this fashion, then chances are quite bleak that you would not be caught.
out of 100% links:- 20% are no-follow, 20% are developed with your brand name as a anchor text. and rest 60% divided with different anchor text.

SEMrush Backlink Damaging SEO?
I did a test recently with a sponsored article for some of my products, including my most popular product (https://www.spaceanswers.com/sponsored/sponsored-wear-a-piece-of-the-universe-with-the-space-collectives-meteorite-jewellery/) and it just so happens that recently this very product dropped from 2nd position to 51+, I have since managed to restore it to 6th position but I am wondering if this article is damaging my efforts? SEMrush is showing a page score of 4/100 and a trust score of 3/100, which is obviously very low. Is this helping or hurting my SEO?

Backlinks from ads on parked domains? Is this possible?
Hello Moz Friends, So as I was researching some competitive backlinks and I noticed a lot of backlinks that a clients competitor has are on parked domains and they appear to be google ads from some point. You know the pages that this page no longer exists, or hey do you want to buy this domain? and it has like 6 google ads on it? Yep those pages. My clients industry is construction and their competitor has links from zombie websites, foreign, websites and more. But the links are no longer on the page. Like when it was crawled, their ad was showing. Does this make any sense and is it usually temporary? Thank you for your thoughts friends!

Tooltip text
Will adding tooltip text to al my links improve my rankings? I read some article, but it's a hell of a job to add tooltip text to al my links. i was wondering if it's worth the time: A tooltip text appears if the mouse hovers over the image or a link and is provided by using the TITLE attribute. A description of the image or the link then appears in the tooltip in a small yellow box (Internet Explorer). The TITLE text (tooltip text) gives a short description of a link or image. The difference between an ALT text and the TITLE text is that the ALT text is a short description that replaces the image if the image does not load. The number of links (internal and external) and images must be equal to the number of tooltips for every page. The number of TITLE text can be higher because ALT text can also be used for other HTML elements. Add Title texts to links or images for those which do not have them yet. Thanks!

Does adding relevant keywords to social postings help with SEO?
I was doing some research on social postings and SEO and couldn't really find the answer to my question. Would adding in SEO keywords help with my site's relevancy or would it just help boost my site because of backlinking? For example if I were to add a new Facebook post "Check out these great new blue widgets " help more than "Check out these new products "? Thanks!

Our anchor-text profile is natural, but looks spammy, what to do?
We are a site with about 12 directories, each one in a sub-folder and previously had their own URL which we merged together for increased branding efforts. When I was analyzing our anchor-text profile of our study abroad directory, it seems that the anchor-text profile is heavy on your key keywords, such as 'Study Abroad' and then some branded. When I say heavy, I am talking 88% are 'study abroad'; followed by 4% are branded, and 2% are branded the old URL that is 301'd to the new subfolder. We have never bought links nor have we really had a strong link building strategy. I am currently thinking of disavowing the links with low DA and are part of the heavily used (study abroad) keywords. Is this a good idea? What should we do to show that these are natural links?

Negative SEO
It looks like either opensiteexplorer is broken or two of our domains are being spammed via negative seo with very low quality links:
Link Building | | Beatbuster
http://winter.bergleben.at is a project pretty new in development. Last time I checked we had 39 linking root domains. Now - couple of weeks later - we have more than 800 linking root domains. Most of them very dubious ones. Problem is: the link anchors look correct of what we or a user would typically link to most of the URLs identified by OSE I cannot even find a link back to us on there If it weren`t for the correct link anchors I would consider something wrong with OSE.
Another URL affected is www.skiinfo.de We are very proud of our quality and organic approach to editorial journalism, but we are in a very competitive field, so I would not be surprised if someone would apply negative SEO against us. Can someone briefly look into it and tell me if they came up with the same issue?0
