Browser Pop Ups - Can it be SEO Friendly and how?
-
Hi
The designer of the company I work for is re-designing Pop Up browsers as well as inline Pop up and Drop down menus.
He needs SEO requirements - how can they be SEO friendly?
Thanks a lot for your help! SL.
Please see below the detail:
Browser Pop Ups
all include:
• a browser title,
• a logo and title in the title bar,
• a close window button and
• a call to action (that closes pop-up when clicked).Usage:
Use when you'd like to offer additional information to the
user but, not take the user away from the main page.Inline Pop up and Drop down menus.
The inline pop-up & drop down is used to display additional menu options, functionality
or content on the page without dedicating real estate in the page layout. It's a part of the page HTML to retain SEO value and thus does not trigger pop-up blockers. A title bar displays when content of the pop-up or drop down is not in context of
the trigger.When used as a drop down, it is attached to the the bottom of it's trigger and left-aligned (unless it would exceed beyond the browser chrome, then it's right-aligned).
When used as a pop-up, it is centered vertically/horizontally in the users browser window.
The inline pop-up/drop down can be triggered differently per instance (e.g. onclick, onhover with delay).It can be closed by:
- clicking on link/location that triggered the pop-up/drop down
- (a.k.a. close icon)
- clicking anywhere outside the pop-up/drop down
There are 5 widths to choose from, based on the needs of the content:
- 196px (3 columns)
- 266px (4 columns)
- 406px (6 columns)
- 546px (8 columns)
- 658px (10 columns)

Thanks for the information guys, very useful. Any ideas as to what this page uses? Not sure if it's using what you recommend, or if there are any potential issues here...this is one of many that I find throughout my normal navigation.

Hey Sarah
Ryan is right, a javascript lightbox is a more modern approach to this and it does not suffer from the problems that plague a standard javascript pop up.
This is my current favourite and it has loads of cool options built in so should save your guys some work:

The method currently in vogue, and also SEO friendly, is a javascript based lightbox. Here is one example.
It degrades nicely for users without javascript (like a crawler bot) because its a normal link that is just rendered differently for the java enabled viewer.

Can hotlinking images from multiple sites be bad for SEO?
Hi, There's a very similar question already being discussed here, but it deals with hotlinking from a single site that is owned by the same person. I'm interested whether hotlinking images from multiple sites can be bad for SEO. The issue is that one of our bloggers has been hotlinking all the images he uses, sometimes there are 3 or 4 images per blog from different domains. We know that hotlinking is frowned upon, but can it affect us in the SERPs? Thanks, James

Google Dropping Pages After SEO Clean Up
I have been using SEOmoz to clear errors from a site. There
Technical SEO | | Andy56
were over 10,000 errors to start with. Most of these were duplicate content, duplicate titles and too many links on a page. Most of the duplicate errors have now been
cleared. This has been done in two weeks (down to around 3000 errors now). But instead of improving my rankings, pages that were on the second page of Google have started to drop out of the listings altogether. The pages that are dropping out
are not related to the duplicate problems and get A grades when I run SEOmoz
page reports. Can you clean up too much too quickly or is there likely to be another reason for it?0 -

How to start more deep seo.
Okay, lets say that I already fixed all my technical seo stuff. All my crawl errors and warnings are gone. Now I really want to start seo so I have a few questions. 1. I know I should work based on a page and not on a domain, so it means I should choose which keyword to optimize each page for? only one keyword per page? or it might be more? 2. Some keywords are very competitive for me, example for my site www.theprinterdepo.com, the best keyword to rank would be printers, but it would take years a beginner to do that, what should I do? 3. If highly competitive keywords are not an option, which keywords shuold I use? the ones that have more global monthly searches? Thanks
