Pixel tags impact on SEO?
-
I was asked by our IT if switching to a tag management company that removes the pixels from our site and is replaced by a javascript would have a negative impact on SEO.
I have not been able to find anything that discusses this:
Does anyone have experience with this? Has it caused any issues?
Has it caused any issues?
How do crawlers see pixel data, and what do they do with it?

Hutch42 - That was my thought as well, so I really appreciate you confirming my thoughts!

Pixel tags do not effect your SEO. The only thing that could cause a problem is if they are loading slowing and causing load time issues with your site, otherwise back end code for tracking does not have anything to do with how you are ranked in search.

Is tabbed content bad for SEO?
I work for a Theater show listings and ticketing website. In our show listings pages (e.g. http://www.theatermania.com/broadway/this-is-our-youth_302998/) we split our content into separate tabs (overview, pricing and show dates, cast, and video). Are we shooting ourselves in the foot by separating the content? Are we better served with keeping it all in a single page? Thanks so much!

Meta tags - are they case sensitive?
I just ran the wordtracker tool and noticed something interesting. The tool didn't pick up our meta description. It's strange as our meta descriptions appear in organic search results and Moz never reported missing meta descriptions.After reviewing other pages, I noticed our meta description tag is written as the following: name="Description" content=" I never thought about this, but are meta tags case sensitive? Should it be written as: name="description" content=" Thoughts?
