Content toggle, tabs ad accordion for seo text
-
Hello there,
I have two questions.
1. I want to ad seo text in content toggles, tabs and accordions. does Google robots view as seo text , eg, H1 text as it would be written direct on the page?
2. About Pinguin and link building. I am seeing up an onlineprintshop, where any industry can become a client. Lets say a medical company will be our client for prints. If they link back to our onlineprint page does Goole evaluates the link as a link from a related industry.
Thanks for your kind answer.
Kind Regards
Mike

HI Dariusz,
Hopefully I understand your question correctly. Let me answer each in turn.
1. If I understand correctly, you're asking if text contained within elements like tabs is viewed the same as text clearly visible on the page.
For the most part, Google will easily crawl and index this text, but keep in mind that Google tends to place more weight on body text above the fold than text place in other areas of the page. That means that content within sidebars, pushed to the bottom of the page, or hidden in navigation, while important, probably doesn't count as much in most circumstances.
If putting the text there makes sense to your visitors, by all means go ahead and do it. On the other hand, if you're doing it for SEO reasons, you might be asking for trouble.
2. Depends on the context. If it is a footer link with off-topic anchor text, then Google will possibly devalue the link. On the other hand, if the medical company writes a glowing blog post about their great printing company, then the link will likely carry lots of value and Google will consider it highly relevant.
Most likely, your link will fall somewhere in-between. The best links are
- unique (not-sitewide)
- Surrounded by relevant text (not just a bunch of other links)
- in the body of the text (not the footer, bottom of the page or sidebar)
- on a relevant page
- with anchor text varied from other similar links to your URL

Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

1. As long as the content is genuine and you/ your visitors feel that those tabs are required along with some text, google is okay with that.
2. Make sure, those links are genuine links, google is smart enough to track down any malpractice, but if the no. is bit low that don't worry, Matt has just said that it is okay to have a few bad links. Refer: http://t.co/rhV6DjzQ
You should always try to not to get into any such activity appears to be fishy or you make some deliberate efforts to increase you back link count.
But if you're developing the links in this fashion, then chances are quite bleak that you would not be caught.
out of 100% links:- 20% are no-follow, 20% are developed with your brand name as a anchor text. and rest 60% divided with different anchor text.

Should I dicard them in my SEO estrategy?
Hi there! Some of you guys told me that I shouldn't concede too much priority to the directories in my linkbuilding stratregy. But should I incorpore it (In case it has a little impact in SERPs) or directly discard it as it has NO influence at all, what would it be more important quantity or quality? Could it have more impact a directory with PR 7 as 100 directories of PR 3 or below? Thanks

How much important is the connection between content and backlink relevancy?
My question is about the connection between web page content and backlink relevancy, how much it is important? Let’s have an example: If I publish a guest post about “cell phone model review” and get a link back to my website which is on the subject of “cell phone monitoring”. Now my question is: Is this a relevant and good quality backlink? As content is about “cell phone Model Review” while the backlink is about “cell phone Monitoring”, How Google would take this as if; 1- Anchor text is “cell phone monitoring” 2- Anchor text is URL based

Great Content
Hello fellow Mozzers! I'm still new to the SEO game and have been doing lots of reading and research about SEO. From what I've learned nowadays it all comes down to great content and links that come from it. I have to admit I'm a visual learner, I need to see it to understand and learn better. I was hoping that someone can provide some examples of GREAT Content (whether its a blog post, page, article, etc...) I know EGOL is one of the most valuabe SEOMoz users and by reading his forum responses he always advises to write great content to build links... Hoping EGOL and other SEOMoz users would be so kind to share an example or two of what they think is great content. One more question (related). Since all the Google updates this year in regards to links and content, I've read numerous times on this Q&A forum that great content gets links, and that submitting articles to directories or buying links doesn't work anymore or at least not something that a whitehat SEO should implement for a long term strategy, does that mean that if you publish great content on your site that is informative, unique and valuable it will get you links without submitting to directories or buying links? Is it really that simple? Thank you in advance! Igor

Did I over optimize on my desired Anchor Text?
I have been promoting a site using mostly the same 3 versions of anchor text. 1. Do I really need to get non related anchor texts to balance my linking profile? e.g. [http://site.com], [click here] and [non related keywords].

Do no follow links have any seo value at all?
I saw some test results of no follow links from some years back and it seemed to indicate that Google still counts the anchor text in no follow links provided the page is already indexed and has do follow links pointing to it. The test results seemed to indicate that Google does count the links and uses the anchor text to cause the page to rank higher in the serps for those key words. any truth to this? If i don't expect any traffic whatsoever from a no follow link should i not build it? Take care, Ron
