AJAX & JQuery Tabs: Indexation & Navigation
-
Hi
I've two questions about indexing Tabs.
1. Let's say I have tabs, or an accordion that is triggered with Jquery. That means that all HTML is accessible and indexed by search engines. But let's say a search query is relevant to the content in Tab#3, while Tab#1 is the one that's open by default. Is there any way that Tab#3 would be open directly if it's more relevant to the search query?
2. AJAX Tabs: We have pages that have Tabs triggered by AJAX (example: http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.html). I'm wondering about the current best practice. Google recommends HTML Snapshots. A newer SEOMoz Article talks about pushState(). What's the way to go here?
Or in other words: How to get Tabs & Accordion content indexed and allow users to navigate directly to it?

hello Philip,
robots.txt file allows you to tell the web bots that crawl your site what is a link and what is not a link that you want to show to the world and to Google
Most search engines will analyze and follow a link only if it contains three query string parameters or fewer.
many parameters in the link shown you have 5 parameters they are what come after the1st / as shown below you have 5. You can block off certain parameters with robots.txt
/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock
http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.htm
for some reason whenever I go to your link you have posted I get this error
The requested URL /system/sling/cqform/defaultlogin.html was not found on this server.

please links above regarding URL parameters and Microsoft and Google agree that too many parameters and they will not search the link.
I hope this is been helpful
sincerely,
Thomas

Hi Thomas
Thanks for the resources. I'll have to check with IT which solution seems most practical.
Though I don't understand two points:
- Where does robots.txt come into the game?
- How do we have too many parameters in http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.htm? Can you specify this?
Thanks!

I would do some serious decoding
if you want to see what Google sees this as a great tool http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/
see what screaming frog tells you then try to fix it in Unicode 8
can fix some of this by going to the bottom of this page and changing your robot.txt.
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_txt
you have too many parameters http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.html
in my opinion you forgot some serious code changing To do.
if you want to use one of the tools Google recommended you'll need I-frame crawling and you can do that with this along with the 2nd URL

http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html
because it is Java based there are some great tools found here as well
I wish you the best and hope that this is helpful,
Thomas

Why is my homepage not indexed by Google or Bing
http://www.schoppnutritionclinic.com/ Home page is not indexed by Google or Bing but all other pages are indexed. I know that currently i am missing the robot.TXT file and the sitemap. This is something i am woking on as a possible solution. I would have thought Google/Bing would have still indexed this page regardless of the lack of sitemap/robot.txt files not being present. I attempted to run a fetch and render in Webmaster tools and received a Not Found status.

Question #2: All of my INTERNAL links in OSE are being indexed from http://www.e.com/default.asp, and all my EXTERNAL links are linked to http://www.e.com/ am I getting a fraction of the link juice because of that?????
Hey guys, sorry for the really long question, but it appears that I am losing between 50 and 75 % of my link juice to my internal pages. In OSE all main category links (left sidebar) are being indexed from the URL that includes default.asp, even though NONE of my external links include that: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2FSulky-Thread-s%2F78.htm If you check the PA for http://www.uncommonthread.com/: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2F You see that it is practically double the PA of http://www.uncommonthread.com/default.asp: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2FDefault.asp **Also, non of my internal menu links are being indexed. ** Look at the menu on this page: http://www.uncommonthread.com/Sulky-Thread-s/78.htm and then look at the OSE information here for the "invisible thread" item from the menu on the page above^^^: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.uncommonthread.com%2FSulky-monofilament-s%2F54.htm Thanks SOOO much! Pre-thumbs and thanks to anyone that can lend me a seconds worth of advice! Thanks again for your time, Tyler A.

Google penalty for links opening in new tab?
Our web services provided suggested that Google doesn't like in-text links that open the link in a new tab. Can anyone verify this? We often link to outside credible resources for our audience, though it seems smarter to open in a new tab rather than risk that the person will not navigate back to our site after finding us. Thank you in advance!

Can google crawl text in jquery sliders?
We are redesigning our website and want to present a fair amount of text within jquery sliders. Will google crawl this text or is it treated the same way as actual script? Perhaps there is a way to just have the text as plain html but use jquery to display it?
