The use of tabs on productpages, do or don't?
-
Does google has any trouble reading content tabs? The content is not loaded by ajax and is already in the page source code.
As i'm checking some big e-commerce websites or (amazon.com for example) they get rid of the tabs with content and put the different content below eachother.Is his better for SEO purpose? But what about user experience? For users it think it is easier to navigate by tabs then to have a long page to scroll.
What do you guys think about this issue?

oke. So if i would like to try to get better SEO results(better organic results) i should get rid of the tabs and put the hidden content and hidden links below eachother.?(like Amazon)
Here you can see an example of our current productdetail page with tabs: http://goo.gl/wce1EO -
I wouldn't never suggest you put content into anything that is hidden (until revealed with a click) and hope to get any SEO benefit from it. But move away from any SEO questions for a moment and remember that there are occasions where this does work well, as you mentioned, for the user experience, and this is why it should be done - nothing more.
Sometimes they will work better than others. It all depends upon the application in question.

Should I have a 'more' button for links?
I have a website that has a page for each town. rather than listing all the towns with a link to each, I want to show only the most popular towns and have a 'more' button that shows all of them when you click it. I know that the search engine can always see the full list of links and even though the visitor can't this doesn't go against Google guidelines because there is no deception involved, the more button is quite clear. However, my colleague is concerned that this is 'making life hard' for the search engines and so the pages are less likely to be indexed. I disagree. Is he right to worry about this??
