What is html text?
-
I am using the "page attributes" tool for a guideline for what I am filling in on each page of my website. I feel like I've done my homework on this, but I can't figure out what "html text" is.
URL
Page Title
Meta Description
Meta Keywords
H1
H2
**HTML Text ** ... not sure what to put here, how long it should be, what it's purpose is, etc. Any SEOMoz links helping me figure that out? I'm not finding it in the "Basics of Search Engine Design" article posted here on SEOMoz.

Oh, gotcha. Glad I could help.

OK, so it's basically the page content. I am just using the "page elements" window (sorry, I had said "page attributes" incorrectly in my question) that's part of the SEOMoz tool (the Firefox plug in). I'm using it to help me find the spots that need to be filled in and also using this SEOMoz article to help define the slots that need to be filled in. It seems the html text is simply the page content - all clear. Thanks!

This looks like this is the backend of some CMS (content management system). Are you using a service or website builder?
The HTML Text would more than likely be the text that you want in the body area of your webpage. If your webpage is about a certain product, you would write descriptive information about your product. If it's about a service, then describe your service.
How long it is really depends. If it's a huge topic it could be a few thousand words. There are really no hard and fast rules, it will all boil down to if you want to rank for something and how much information you need to put on the page for both ranking, as well as providing good information to the reader.
The purpose would be to provide your website visitors information about what you are offering or writing about on your website.

Is Brand name anchor text on a widget Spam
We have partial match penalty in WMT on one of our smaller sites. There are a few (less than 10) instances of widgets linking to us using our Brand Name as the anchor text. Would this fail a reconsideration request do you think? The widget links without the no-follow attribute.

Text in collapsed section
Does anyone have any quantifiable evidence regarding text that is collapsed - when clicked the section expands and presents the text, against just having the text on view in the page. That is, instead of having a FAQ with question followed by answer, there is a question which you click to expose/expand the answer. Could the collapsed text be potentially detrimental to ranking?

Hi, how you doing? I have a set of very specific questions or concerns about anchor text and linking on an e-commerce category page. I was wondering if you could give your opinions and counsel. I own an e-commerce store about steel construction products. I have several category and product pages. One example of my categories is this. URL http://aceromart.com/Losacero-25-Ternium.aspx My concerns or questions: I have several technical specs or sheets. Which i include the link on the right part in "Informacion Adicional". How should i link those? I am bit worried on the anchor text. Should i use something like [download "product" technical sheet] or just [technical sheet of product] . I dont want to cannibalize, but i also want to appear as descriptive as possible. what would you recommend? The same thing happens on my videos. How should i link my videos? Is there a best practice? **what would you recommend. ** Thanks in advance for your opinions!

My text does not show up in Google
Hi there. I've got an urgent question I hope someone can help me with. I've made a website (www.tonyharrismakingcents.com.au) with a few content pages. I don't get a lot of traffic. All my pages are scrawled and I don't see any errors. However, when I copy an entire paragraph and Google it, it does not show up in the search results. This makes me believe that the pages are not scrawled correctly. Only when I search for the exact paragraph by putting it between "", the website shows up on the results page. What can be the reason for this? Thanks for your help..It's much appreciated.
