Is text that is burned into the code stronger than text that is retrieved from the DB?
-
Hi,
Do you think that texts that are written inside the file's source code get more attention / more credit from Google than texts that are brought from the DB?
Thanks
-
Moosa and Marie are both correct, there is no difference between hard-coded text and text rendered from data retrieved from a database.
-
I can't see that there would be any difference. Google's looking at the final page that was rendered, so if the page is rendered via code or via database I would think it would be the same.
-
Personally i never thought of this but logically there shouldn’t be any preference in it...i think if there is a lot of text available on the page then the page that load quicker will have more preference over the one that take more time than normal in loading the page.
Why shouldn’t be any difference is because either way you are helping user to get more information about the page and subject so it’s doesn’t matter that the text is available as hard coded or coming from the data base until there is no problem in indexing the content and page load time.

Is the flow of page rank through anchor text links diminished if hidden using tabs
Hi there, Whilst there is plenty of information online regarding the devaluation of hidden content using tabs, it seems to be more difficult to get a clear answer as to how page rank is impacted when anchor text links are hidden. If an anchor text link is hidden using tabs, will the flow of page rank to the page the anchor text leads to be negatively impacted? If so, why? To add further context, whilst the anchor text link would be visible in the HTML, the tab would be dependant on JavaScript to function. Thanks,

Usage of HTTP Status Code 303
Hello, is there anybody who has got some experience with 303 HTTP Status Code? Our software development would like to use 303 "See Others" instead of 301 for redirecting old product-links to the site-root, instead of showing 404 errors. What is the best practise for redirecting old product links which are gone in online-shop context? Best regards Steffen

Duplicate block of text on category listings
Fellows, We are deciding whether we should include our category description on all pages of the category listing - for example; page 1, page 2, page 3... The category description is currently a few paragraphs of text that sits on page 1 of the category only at present. It also includes an image (linked to a large version of it) with appropriate ALT text. Would we benefit from including this introductory text on the rest of the pages in the category? Or should we leave it on the first page only? Would it flag up duplicate signals? Ideas please! Thanks.
