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.

Hreflang - Is it needed even if the site is only one language
This topic came up in a discussion I had with a fellow SEO colleague, I don't believe it makes sense to have Hreflang if you don't have a second language but according to my friend they mentioned that it is great if your only targeting one country. Any opinions out in the Moz community? It seems like overkill to me

Site name in page title - leave it or remove it?
Hi all, Recently came across some authority blog (quicksprout to be precise) which stated that apart from main page, contact page, about us and some other generic pages, site name should be removed as it might produce duplicate content. example "How to blog | Example Site name" This mostly is the issue with tags and categories pages as it shows on Moz issues. Is that really a problem and site name should be taken off them? Thank you.
