Replaceing text prices with graphics
-
Hello all:
You probably noticed Google showing product prices in SERP snippets and this did not do us well because there was a noticable drop off in click throughs to the site with the price displaying in snippet.
So we're replacing them with graphic prices instead.
Does anyone see a problem with that in as far as how Google ranks our pages?
Thanks!

I don't see a problem with that.
Before you change it, I'd compare CTR & bounce rate before and after the change. For example, if your traffic for that keyword went down 20% from 1000 visits to 800, but your bounce rate dropped from 60% to 40% at the same time, then you'd have 480 visitors with 2+ pageviews instead of the 400 that you had before, which suggest higher quality traffic is now visiting the site. Also, compare the goal completions in your Analytics software before and after.
If the bounce rate & goals are similar, then you might as well go back to the old method.

Web Editing Pricing Quote
Hi all, I cannot seem to get my pagespeed up to the level I want, but I do not have the backend knowledge to fix the following errors listed below. I have played around with this for awhile, and gotten a number of them reduced, but these last ones are beyond me at this time. Any idea how long this would take someone proficient to do? Any idea what the cost would be? I know the ideas are going to be super general, but ball park is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Using More Info javascript:toggleDisplay tag for More info text
Is there any harm in using javascript so a user can "toggle" open or closed additional text on a website? For example, if a user wants to read more about something, they can click on "More Info" and the text would then appear. Google is able to read the text, because I chose a random 8 word section of the text within the More Info and pasted it into a Google Search and the website showed up in search results. Just wondering if using this technique would have any negative impact. Here's what the code would look like:
Web Design | | EEE3
<a <span="">title</a><a <span="">="Show Tables" href="</a><a class=" " target="_blank">javascript:toggleDisplay('table1')</a>">More Info style="display: none;" id="table1"> this is where the text would be, and from this section was where I grabbed text to search with in google. Then in the footer, here is the script needed so the more info will work: I am by no means an expert in coding/html/javascript. Thanks!0 -
What are your favorite articles graphically?
Hello, I'm trying to get some good ideas for graphically laying out very large articles, both of navigation as well as image use, illustrations, and video. What are your favorite long articles as far as looks go? I really like the seomoz beginner's guide, and pointblankseo has some pretty good layouts. This is for content for a client's ecommerce site. What are your favorites?

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?

Replacing Textual Prices with Graphics
Hello All: Google snippets now include prices. We feel it's causing less click throughs from search results. Someone suggested to replace the textual prices with graphical prices. I worry Google will expect some sites to do this and penalize them for doing so. Any thoughts or evidence in this regard?
