Can the Lightboxes on My Site be Crawled?
-
I'm trying to optimize my site, but I have lightboxes and I don't know if they are visible to the search engines. If they aren't, could you suggest something that I could do? THANK YOU so much!!!!!
My site is lymphexpo.com

Oh, do you mean the disclaimer? I can take that out of the about section, and it will only appear on the front of the site. I guess I wasn't clear what I was talking about. If you select a category on the front page, the click on a company, then a lightbox opens up with a video and other info about their company.

Hi Josh,
I'm a little over my head on this topic, and I'm a little confused. What is duplicated across my site now?
-
Thanks! I tried this but the site is so new, it hasn't been cached yet. I will look again soon. If the content isn't visible, what do you recommend? Thanks.
-
Are you saying that because I've got information in lightboxes, it is by definition hidden from Search Engines? And if this is the case, is there anything I can do about it? Thanks.

Hi Stephen,
That's pretty easy to check. Just type this in the browsers address bar:
cache:lymphexpo.com
Then click 'Text version' and you can see exactly how Google sees your site.
Then check if your lightbox content is visible.

Site Redesign: Potential Problems?
We're looking at a cleanup of our site and making our navigation menu simpler and more visual. The problem is there's a massive fear that we will incur some sort of SEO hit at a time when we can ill afford one. The bulk of the changes are around some tertiary pages that have some SEO value but are not primary targets or traffic sources. The pages with content aren't moving URLs or changing, nor is the core content of the site, just the template. The new template, I feel, is easier to navigate and easier to spider (menus are flyout divs with images). So are there any tips or tricks to changing the layout of your site without hurting SEO? Anything we need to avoid?

Why is our site dropping in Domain Authority
Hi all, I have a question. I have been working SEO on our site www.betxpert.com for the last 4-6 weeks and I have been looking forward to seeing the new DA and PA numbers. However today, our DA is now 30...where it was 31 or 33 a couple of days ago. How come the decrease? I have only improved the site i should say... Hope someone can shed a little light on the issue... -Rasmus

Why has only one page been crawled?
I went over the list of possible reasons, but I don't think any of them apply to the site in question: sarahhueniken.com. Any other reasons only one page would be crawled?

Site URL's
We are redeveloping our website, and have the option to amend URLs (with 301 redirects from old URL to new), so my question is: Would 'golfsite.com/golf-clubs' achieve superior rankings than 'golfsite.com/clubs' for the search term 'golf clubs' if all other factors were the same? Should the URL reflect the intended search term wherever possible?
