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

Is there any proof that google can crawl PWA's correctly, yet
At the end of 2018 we rolled out our agency website as a PWA. At the time, Google used Chrome (41) headless to render our website. Although all sources announced at the time that it 'should work', we experienced the opposite. As a solution we implement the option for server side rendering, so that we did not experience any negative effects. We are over a year later. Does anyone have 'evidence' that Google can actually render and correctly interpret client side PWA's?

Site is getting crushed by spam traffic and Google Webmaster Tools giving crawl warnings. Also...
Currently hosting a site I'm planning on moving to a new server ASAP, 301 redirecting and have a domain that has nice authority and very old. On the current site I need to clean up the blog. I have a few questions actually.... 1. I'd like to remove most of the blog articles as I want the new site to be very high quality, but isn't it dangerous to do a 301 redirect to the same page for all these articles? 2. I want to focus on the new site as the current site has too many issues but still managing to hang in their. is highly outdated yet I don't want to spend a ton of time on the site before the 301 redirect. With the Pigeon and Panda 4.0 rumors being released soon, I want to get the new site completed ASAP. Do you think it's better if I fix the 3. Would removing cloudflare make things better or worse with the crashing of my site due to high traffic (mainly spam on the blog.) 4. My best article by far is outdated, but should I waste time updating it before redirecting or should I just get the new site going? I did way too many guest posts thinking content is king, but at least checked the outgoing links Domain Auth, Page Auth, and MozTrust in OSE, but first off I'm going to remove a page that mentions I'm looking for guest bloggers. I tried to keep the posts relevant but at the time you could get away with 5. Anything I can do to slow down these spammers on Wordpress? I noticed most of them are checking for vulnerabilities but I'm keeping it up to date, have caching setup. Thanks!

Can wordpress actually be bad for sites if it static?
Hello, So last year I did rank for my website. Yet I switched from Adobe Muse to wordpress. I thought it would be great for updating and blobbing if I ever do it. So I got a theme, and went for it I have Yoast and that's it for plugins. But if I take say another couple of years to blog, am I hurting myself with wordpress? Like Google knows I am using wordpress so it expects me to be creating content? I know its an odd question, just had to ask

Google Analytics
Hi Folks I'm currently measuring multiple goals with Google analytics. At the end of the month I compare the Analytics numbers with my actual, from a diffident data base, and there is often a variance. My questions are; 1- Is there an accepted Delta % in goals eg: + or - 10% 2- Is there a resource that anybody found incredibly useful on this topic 3- does anybody have any tips on trouble shooting here? Thank you in advance

Google search issue with exact domain
We had a site from Feb-2011 to Nov-2011 at the domain amcoexterminating.com. The site was pure HTML/CSS and the daily unique visitors steadily increased over that time. So all was fine. We then moved the site to a CMS (Joomla) on Dec. 6th. From that day forward, the daily visitors went into the tank. Before the move, if you typed "amcoexterminating.com" or "amco exterminating" into Google search, the site would be the first result (as you'd expect since those are the words that make up the actua domain). But we tried this yesterday and the site did not come up at all. NOT GOOD. It would work in Yahoo or Bing, but not in Google. So obviously, the problem with Google search directly affected the daily visitors. We just checked Webmaster tools yesterday (yes, this should have been done sooner, lesson learned) and it said "Site has severe health issues - Important page blocked by robots.txt". It listed the "important" page URL and it was just a link to an image. Regardless, I wiped out the Joomla created robots.txt file and added a new one and made it just say... User-agent: *Allow: / About 14 hours later, after the new robots.txt file was recognized by Google, the "severe health" message went away. However if I search in Google for "amcoexterminating.com", it still doesn't show up and the client is concerned (as they should be). Do you think the search engines just need more time to refresh? If so, once it refreshes, should the site show up first again right away? Or is it possible the robots.txt file had nothing to do with the issue? If so, what other things could I check into that might cause Google search to not find a site even if you search for exact domain name? Please share any and all things I should look into as I need to get this site showing in Google search again (as it was before moving to the CMS). Thanks!

Can including advertising slots have a negative effect on SEO?
Can including advertising slots at the top and side of pages have a negative effect on SEO? Can Google detect these advertising slots? Can they work our advertising pixels to page content pixels ratio? Any ideas, suggestions, comments and opinions are greatly appreciated!
