dan

great thanks for the reassurance Mick !

grt thanks Mick

have done this now and all normally hidden body copy/content now shows so presume that means G can see it and i no longer need worry about this

ok have done this now and all normally hidden body copy/content now shows so presume that means G can see it

Sorry just to confirm ....

if the body copy being displayed in GWT under the "This is how Googlebot fetched the page:" does NOT show the text that's revealed after clicking 'read more' button then thats ok since if was a prob would be listed problem such as javascripts blocked etc etc

OR

it is a problem since Googles not seeing the rest of the body copy ?

thanks

dan

Ok thanks Rafa that's good news

Rankings must just be just fluctuation or impact of any recent G algo updates since no other changes to site apart from the addition of some exact match anchor text links to product pages & more copy in prod descrips.

will see how next ranking report performs and look into further then if more drops or no bounce back

Re: 404 your correct how did you know without the domain part of the url ?  Thanks ill tell dev

Really appreciate all your help Rafa !! thanks again !!

Thanks Rafa , ok done that and only listed issue is:

Googlebot couldn't get all resources for this page. Here's a list:

/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff

so not sure if that refers to actual body copy or just some font style or similar etc etc ?

as i mentioned before the status of the fetch is 'partial' though not 'complete' so presume that means an issue, or does that just relate to 'G couldn't get all resources' ?

thanks, Dan

Thanks Mick i searched cache:www.yoursite (clients hp url) and is showing as it shows usually, with just the first couple of paragraphs then read more button/link.

Are you saying when doing above (searching cache etc) it should show all the content as if i had clicked 'read more' button ? and if doesnt then there is an issue ?

cheers

dan

ok ive done that but status is saying 'partial' not 'complete' so i take it that means there is an issue ?

thanks Rafal will do that now

Hi

I just want to confirm how potentially damaging using java script to hide lots of on page body copy with a 'read more' button is ?

As per other moz Q&A threads i was told that best not to use Javascript to do this & instead "if you accomplish this with CSS and collapsible/expandable <DIV> tags it's totally fine" so thats what i advised my clients dev.

However i recently noticed a big drop in rankings aprox 1 weeks after dev changing the body copy format (hiding alot of it behind a 'read more' button) so i asked them to confirm how they did implement it and they said: "done in javascript but on page load the text is defaulting to show" (which is contrary to my instructions)

So how likely is it that this is causing problems ? since coincides with ranking drop OR if text is defaulting to show it should be ok/not cause probs ?

And should i request that they redo as originally instructed (css & collapsible divs) asap ?

Hi Erin

Thanks

Hi

I've tried adding new mentions for a couple of different campaigns recently, once today and once yesterday.

I'm entering the query name and search query but the 'preview this query' button stays 'dull' and cant cant be clicked so i cant preview the query to then add the query/mention.

Is there a bug with this feature at the moment ? anyone else having probs or adding mentions ok ?

if someone from moz could confirm asap much appreciated ?

All Best

Dan
