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?
-
I'm linking to all the content.
The plugin is not live anywhere yet to use WMT.
Thanks for your response, I sincerely appreciate it!

You would need to use scawl as google bot featuer to see if it can see the txt, i have no idea what the pugin you are using does.
text inside a display:none element will get crawled, but you maust make that text displayable somehow, when the user clicks on somthing or via a script somehw, you can not just hide it and never show it, thet will get you a penalty.
If you can see the text in google bot tool in WMTs paste it here. as somply being a string in the script is not good enouth it has to be in the html. ,

Sorry for my ignorance, but by saying that you would use a script to display the content, do you mean that you would not be using {display:none;} tag?
I am researching the use of a Jquery plugin for WP that will be used on the home page of a website and several of the main NAV links will be inside this plugin. It is important that the non displayed content and Titles are parsed without a downgrading of their content.
I will be linking to all of the content inside each tab, all of the content is legit, I am in no way trying to hide anything, we need the function for layout; so I do not believe we are at risk of the 30 day penalty for trying to hide content in hidden text. But, I need to ensure that the content from the boxes that are not displayed will be parsed without being downgraded by the search engines for being hidden.
The Plugin is the JqueryUI plugin, the content shows up as a non ordered list on the Source. I can see the non ordered list and the content of all the boxes in the source. The JQuery plugin uses the {Display:none} tag to hide the closed content boxes. *On the website though when I try to highlight a "closed" box's Title (The text displayed in the tabs of the plugin) I am not able to highlight these words, instead the website treats them like an image that can be dragged with the bg color. The latter is what concerns me most.
My main issue is that I need to know if all the text in the Title and content of the non-displayed boxes will be parsed as it would be if it was on the page without the Jquery plugin.
The second thing I would like to determine is if there could be a lesser value attributed to the content inside of the hidden boxes.
Third, is there a way to program this optimally so that it works for use in the website and for the SE's without using risky programming?
Thanks all!

Good point Alan 'via script".

If you have the text on the html, but only display it via script, that should be fine, as long as you do display it. If you dont you may eventualy get flaged for hidden keywords

Can't Hyperlink After the WP 4.0 Update?
Anyone else who runs a WP site have problems hyperlinking after the 4.0 update? I read I could deactivate all my plugins, and go through them one-by-one, but before I go to that step, I want to know if there's either an easier way to regain this functionality or if there is a specific plugin that's known to cause the problem. Thanks, Ruben

Will google penalize a website for using a table layout?
I just got a new client today and his entire website layout and structure is using tables instead of divs. This client is on a tight budget and wants to avoid unnecessary hours for re-coding the website, but at the same time he wants me to improve his SEO organically. This is the first time I've been asked to do work on an existing website that uses pure tables for the entire layout and I'm wondering if this effects the SEO in any way. So my question is, will tables effect rankings and SEO in any way?

Does Google count the domain name in its 115-character "ideal" URL length?
I've been following various threads having to do with URL length and Google's happiness therewith and have yet to find an answer to the question posed in the title. Some answers and discussions have come close, but none I've found have addressed this with any specificity. Here are four hypothetical URLs of varying lengths and configurations: EXAMPLE ONE:
Web Design | | RScime25
my-big-widgets-are-the-best-widgets-in-the-world-and-come-in-many-vibrant-and-unique-colors-and-configurations.html (115 characters) EXAMPLE TWO: sample.com/my-big-widgets-are-the-best-widgets-in-the-world-and-come-in-many-vibrant-and-unique-colors-and-configurations.html (126 characters) EXAMPLE THREE: www.sample.com/my-big-widgets-are-the-best-widgets-in-the-world-and-come-in-many-vibrant-and-unique-colors-and-configurations.html (130 characters) EXAMPLE FOUR: http://www.sample.com/my-big-widgets-are-the-best-widgets-in-the-world-and-come-in-many-vibrant-and-unique-colors-and-configurations.html (137 characters) Assuming the examples contain appropriate keywords and are linked to appropriate anchor text (etc.,) how would Google look upon each? All I've been able to garner thus far is that URLs should be as short as possible while still containing and contextualizing keywords. I have 500+ URLs to review for the company I work for and could use some guidance; yes, I know I should test, but testing is problematical to the extreme; I look to the collective/accumulated wisdom of the MOZVerse for help.

How Does Google differentiate a keyword you are optimizing for and a non-keyword?
So, let's say that my company is called John's Business Consulting and I offer outsourced HR work (recruiting, evaluating, personality assessments, background checks). So for my home page I want "Business Consulting" to be my keyword that I want to rank for. But "recruiting services", "talent development" are all words that describe a service that I offer and could potential be keywords, how do I get Google to not dilute my authority for "business consulting"?

Duplicate H1 tag IF it holds SAME text?
Hello people, I know that majority of SEO gurus (?) claim that H1 tag should only be used once per page. In the landing page design I'm working with, we actually need to repeat our core message stated in H1 & H2 - at the bottom of the page. Now the question is: Can that in any way cause any ranking penalty from big G? In my eyes that is not attempt to over optimize page as it contains SAME info as the H1 & H2 at the top of the page. Confusing, so I'm hope that some SEO gurus here will share some light on this. Thanks in advance!

SEOMoz crawl report shows a duplicate content and duplicate title for these two url's http://freightmonster.com/ and http://freightmonster.com/index.html. How do I fix this?
What page is attached to http://freightmonster.com/ if it is not the index.html ? Should I do a redirect from the index page to something more descriptive?

Can "poor" subdomains drop PR of the root domain?
The page rank of my company's website has dropped from a 6 to a 4 over the past year or so. In that time, we implemented subdomains for development sites to show clients progress on their websites. I noticed that our "dev" sites are being indexed while in development and my question is, will Google drop pagerank of our root domain purely off of these "dev" subdomains? Example - our site is www.oursite.com Dev site - development1.oursite.com I just began investigating the drop and this came to my mind yesterday but am not too sure what type of impact these non-credible subdomains will have on our root domain. Any thoughts?
