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

Will Google Judge Duplicate Content on Responsive Pages to be Keyword Spamming?
I have a website for my small business, and hope to improve the search results position for 5 landing pages. I recently modified my website to make it responsive (mobile friendly). I was not able to use Bootstrap; the layout of the pages is a bit unusual and doesn't lend itself to the options Bootstrap provides. Each landing page has 3 main div's - one for desktop, one for tablet, one for phone.

The text content displayed in each div is the same. Only one of the 3 div’s is visible; the user’s screen width determines which div is visible. When I wrote the HTML for the page, I didn't want each div to have identical text. I worried that
when Google indexed the page it would see the same text 3 times, and would conclude that keyword spamming was occurring. So I put the text in just one div. And when the page loads jQuery copies the text from the first div to the other two div's. But now I've learned that when Google indexes a page it looks at both the page that is served AND the page that is rendered. And in my case the page that is rendered - after it loads and the jQuery code is executed – contains duplicate text content in three div's. So perhaps my approach - having the served page contain just one div with text content – fails to help, because Google examines the rendered page, which has duplicate text content in three div's. Here is the layout of one landing page, as served by the server. 1000 words of text goes here. No text. jQuery will copy the text from div id="desktop" into here. No text. jQuery will copy the text from div id="desktop" into here. ===================================================================================== My question is: Will Google conclude that keyword spamming is occurring because of the duplicate content the rendered page contains, or will it realize that only one of the div's is visible at a time, and the duplicate content is there only to achieve a responsive design? Thank you!0 -
Hiding content until user scrolls - Will Google penalize me?
I've used: "opacity:0;" to hide sections of my content, which are triggered to show (using Javascript) once the user scrolls over these sections. I remember reading a while back that Google essentially ignores content which is hidden from your page (it mentioned they don't index it, so it's close to impossible to rank for it). Is this still the case? Thanks, Sam

Can multiple domains compete with one another if they have the same/similar content?
Could an ecommerce site with a .co.nz nd .com.au domain compete with one another and hard organic rankings if the content of the pages are the same? All the links would be identical (apart from .co.nz or .com.au) the product descriptions, pages titles etc... would all be identical or similar (our page titles are ever so slightly different). Could this be hurting us? Thanks in advance ^ Paul

Development site accidentally crawled - Will this cause problems?
We are currently developing a new version of our website and to make it easy to access for all team members, we just set it up on a server accessible via a publicly accessible domain name (ie devsite.com). There has been no SEO and no links created to this site, or so I thought. Recently, I found out that Google somehow found its way to this development site and has been indexing the pages! I was a little alarmed, as there are no links to the domain and we'll soon be transitioning all the content over to our primary production domain. I immediately created a robots.txt file to disallow access to the entire development domain. My fear is that there may be some duplicate content penalty if Google sees that the content that is on our new site (once it goes live and is pushed to our REAL domain name) was previously indexed on our test domain. We're slated to launch in 2-3 weeks. Is there anything else I should do? Should I even be worried? I'm probably a bit paranoid, but given the amount of time and effort that has gone into this new site, I love any advice or thoughts. Thank You!

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?
