Google and display:none
-
Hi Guys,
i want to know what you think about solution which i have to switch content in tab on my page.
Here: http://www.exprestlac.sk/beta/produkt/vizitky i have some important content in tabs, which are switching via javascript.
So when you click there on O produkte next to Ceny it will show you product description.
My problem is that in source code when page is loaded i have this:
Product description..
And after user click on O produkte javascript remove that display:none and show content. But Google will see only display:none as i think.
Can i get penalty from Google? Will it index this text?
Thanks for your suggestions how to resolve this.

I agree with Aran, as long as you use the display:none in a legitimate way, Google is unlikely to penaltize you for it. Even if they got as far as manually reviewing your website, they would see you've intended no foul with the display:none.

Hi,
I think its unlikely that you will get a penalty for using display none in this way. Also, Google will index the content from the product description. If you have the Web Dev Toolbar in Firefox, try turning CSS off and look at the page for a basic Googlebot view of the page. You can see that all the 'tabbed' content that is normally hidden is shown. This may also highlight some other issues on the page (hint hint)...
Cheers
Aran

Should I block google indexing "search.php"
My question is I have a search page on our website , you can search by date, number of people staying and so on, I am just wondering should block this in the robots.txt ? Because we have pretty URL'S already for searching by county and searching by towns. I cannot see any benefit of having e.g "search/search.php?sp_dateFrom=16%2F12%2F2015&sp_dateTo=23%2F12%2F2015&sec_drop%5B%5D=727&spesh_town_id=764&q=&occupants=5&bedrooms=3&submit=SEARCH#search" indexed. Would I be correct in doing this ?

Do these items affect Google ranking or Quality Score?
Hi community, After my first crawl of a site that I'm working to improve the SEO on, I find that I have about 500 issues regarding missing Alt Text and Title text for images on my site, as well as about 175 issues with regard to duplicate meta description, missing meta descriptions, and too short/too long meta descriptions. My client is not sure it matters to fix these items and only wants to do so if they have an affect on Google ranking or Quality Score. Does anyone know? Thanks!

How to optimize Google Places listing?
I have a couple friends who need more traffic from their Google Places listing. They are in very niche businesses. One is a home remodeling contractor and one is a music teacher. Does anyone know some good services to help optimize their listings? I feel I've helped them out as much as I can by getting real reviews to their Google Places page. But I feel that someone who's had the experience in Google Places optimization can pick up on something I'm overlooking.

How can we get Google to offer postcard verification for our Place Page?
Most of the time, when we claim a Google Place Page, they give 2 choices to verify ownership: 1) phone verification and 2) postcard verification. But right now (and for several weeks), for our listing, they are only giving the phone verification choice, which unfortunately won't work with our automated phone system. How can we get our Place Page listing verified through a postcard sent to our address, when Google isn't presenting that as an option?
