How does the FSS jQuery plugin affect SEO?
-
Looking to create a full screen sliding site for optimum use on tablets. Found this:
http://codecanyon.net/item/fss-full-screen-sliding-website-plugin/full_screen_preview/159103
What is the general feeling on using FSS in terms of SEO?
Should it be avoided?
What's the alternative?
Thanks!

Hi Kane
Many thanks - yes we picked up on the .js in the header so we'll look at a workaround for this.
Thanks

The link you provided has an iFrame, but if you leave the iFrame and go to http://www.interactivegoods.com/fss/#/options you'll see the actual page.
When I open up the source, I see two things:
- Javascript in the head area.
- Zero content, just some empty divs and links to each section of content.
In the code, you see this:
If you take a look at those page2.html files, they're not even full html files, they're sections of code being used as if they were PHP include files. I haven't seen html files used that way before and I don't think it's a standard practice.
I avoid content loaded via javascript, because I've seen it cause issues for clients. I am not a javascript developer, so maybe there's a way to do it correctly, but I"m not familiar with it.
Personally, I would not use this plugin on one of my sites. Find one that uses divs to contain the content, and javascript to animate the sliding, rather than using javascript to load the content, too.

Optimized filename management for SEO
Hi, I'm currently undertaking a project to manage better my images and to rank for image searches. My site uses mod_pagespeed to optimises images, therefore image urls are changed to a pretty seo unfriendly url or even sometimes inlined within my page. On top of that I generally resize all my images by passing the desired file dimension within the image url in order to optimise the loading time of my site. Is there a way to provide a hint to google that I have a much better quality image with higher dimensions and better name? Can i specify within my image sitemap an image that actually does have different dimensions and a different within the page it serves? Are there better tricks to achieve that? Thanks in advance

Transferring a site to wordpress and its effect on SEO
I have a site that is hosted on a very old platform and would like to move it to WordPress. We are a surf shop and the summer months are the busiest for us. I want like to make sure that if I transfer my site that it won't hurt our rankings in any way. What would the best way of doing this be? i.e start building the WordPress site and once it is finished, point the domain to it? Will this have any ramifications for our rank? Thank you!

Do rss feeds help seo?
If we put relevant RSS feeds on a site, will it help the SEO value? Years ago, I shied away from RSS feeds because they slowed the site down and I didn't like relying on them. However, the past couple years, the Internet has become better, especially in Alaska.

Does page size and relative content position affect SEO?
Good morning, Each product page of our e-commerce site consists of a fairly lengthy header and footer. The former of which contains links to ~60 product categories, the logo, etc, while the latter contains information such as the latest posts from our blog, links to support, etc. The main "content" of the page is of course product related information, which also happens to contain a bit of templated data such as links which when clicked open respective sliders containing information regarding our return and shipping policies. The question: We wonder whether the relative "size" of the page has anything to do with SEO results. As an example, suppose the page header consists of 20% of the total page size, the important page-specific content consumes 60%, and the footer consumes the final 20%. Is this relevant? Or to rephrase the question: Should we be concerned about keeping our headers and footers as small as possible? Thanks!

Huge and sudden fall in SEO traffic
Hi, I’m writing you because we have noticed in Google Analytics account, a huge fall in the SEO traffic of mywebsite, starting suddenly in one precise day. The difference between this day and the previous one is: -46,36% . Traffic has fallen in all parts of the site in the same way. Some details: - we did not make any relevant change to the website - we haven’t been banned by Google (or we don’t have any message about it in GWT) - the number of the landing pages remains approximately the same - the number of indexed keywords falls from 9.000 to 4.000. - around 2 weeks ago we found out around 120 pages with 404 error, but the error now is solved and the pages are currently working we open the content to Google about 4 months but still we have not published our Site Map. I know that the 404 error could could affect the indexation, but do you have any other idea, apart of this, of what could have happened? Thanks!
