Infinite scroll
-
We have a webshop with products provided with a content blok below the category/products page. Some products have an infinite scroll option because of the amount of product.
Will infinite scroll affect ranking when there is an text below?
Thanks!

No problem at all

Hi,
**Will infinite scroll affect ranking when there is an text below? **
I highly doubt that this alone will be enough to impact any search results. With Infinite Scroll, Google want to see it done properly first and I would check this out. You don't want to be blocking elements of the page if you can avoid it.
John Mueller gave a great example of how an infinite scroll should work along with pagination. This ticks all the boxes required.
Of course, the better your page(s), the better the chances of being well ranked, but much more at play than just a bit of text below products.

How do elements that are displayed when scrolled impact SEO?
Hi, We are wanting to implement Animate.css and Wowjs on our site and were concerned about the SEO impacts. Basically when the page is loaded, if the element is not within the viewport then the HTML tag (i.e. div tag) have a style="visibility: hidden" and once the element is within the viewport it will change to have style="visibility: visible". Would having the style="visibility: hidden" negatively impact SEO?

Fetch as Google not showing Waypoints.js on scroll animation
So I noticed that my main content underneath 4 reasons to choose LED Habitats did not show up in Fetch as Google as well as a few other sections. The site being brand new, so I'm not sure how this will be indexed. What happens is, as the user scrolls the content is brought in using Waypoints and Animate.css which offers an engaging yet simple user experience. I'm just afraid that If the content doesn't show up in "Fetch as Google" in webmaster tools that this content will never be found / indexed by Google. There are thousands of sites that use this library, I'm just curious what I'm doing wrong.. or what I can do. Is there a way for me to keep the simple animations but keep Google Happy at the same time? I took a screen shot of "Fetch as Google" and you can see blatant missing sections which are the sections animated by the waypoints library. Thanks for listening! Robert ZqgLWHi

Infinite Scroll and SEO - Is it enough to only link to the previous and next page in the pagination?
Hi all, We are implementing an eCommerce site where the results pages of the products will be visibile on one page (always loading new products when you scroll down the page). Now, I have read that the Google spiders cannot "load" new products scrolling down the page, hence the spider only sees the first few products of the results page. Our developer wants to implement a system where a users sees the first products on example.com/products Then scrolling down, he will see new products with the URL changing to example.com/page/2 and so on. Is it enough that we add a pagination link that goes from example.com/products to example.com/page/2 Then another link that goes from example.com/page/2 to example.com/page/3 and so on, so the Google spider can make his way through all the pages? Or is that too much deep linking and the spider wouldn't even crawl all the results pages? Any recommendations how to go about this? Many thanks in advance!

Regarding Infinite Scroll
Hey Moz'erz Working on a 1 page website (+ customer login and backend). The home page is done in an infinite-scroll type design where fixed side bar links will take you to the ID on page. There are 4 sections (4 ID links) on the page. In your experience would it still be best to recommend the best practice from the webmaster tools blog here; and have each ID appear as an index-able page? Just curious is there would be a big impact positive or negative or if the above mentioned pertains more so to longer infinite scroll pages. Comments and experiences are greatly welcomed!!

How do I optimize a site designed to be one scrolling page of content?
Our website uses section ID's as its navigation so all the content is on one page. When you click About Us, the page scrolls down to About Us. Products, the page scrolls to Products section, and etc. I am getting crawl errors for meta descriptions but will this go away once the main domain has this info? We just added the meta keywords and description to the header and since the navigation sections use the same page, I assume it will correct the errors. Any other advice on optimizing for site designs like ours would be great. www.theicecubekit.com is the site. Thanks,
