Optimizing a website which uses JavaScript and jQuery
-
Just a quick question (or 2)
If I have divs which are hidden on my page, but are displayed when
-
a user clicks on a p tag and the hidden div is displayed using jquery
-
a user clicks on an a tag and the hidden div is displayed using jquery with the href being cancelled
in both examples, will the hidden content be optimized, or will the fact it is initially hidden make it harder to optimize?
Thanks for any answers!

Google will see the content as plain text, check for example seobrowser.com.
However, there is a chance that Google is parsing the CSS to find out that this particular content is hidden, and therefore devalues it. I don't recall ever reading about this, but it would make some sense because many visitors won't see the text.

Remove a directory using htaccess
Hi, Can someone tell me if there's a way using htaccess to say that everything in a particular directory, let's call it "A", is gone (http 410 code)? i.e. all the links should be de-indexed? Right now, I'm using the robots file to deny access. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do since Google webmaster tools is showing me the link as indexed still and a 403 error code. Thanks.
