AJAX & JQuery Tabs: Indexation & Navigation
-
Hi
I've two questions about indexing Tabs.
1. Let's say I have tabs, or an accordion that is triggered with Jquery. That means that all HTML is accessible and indexed by search engines. But let's say a search query is relevant to the content in Tab#3, while Tab#1 is the one that's open by default. Is there any way that Tab#3 would be open directly if it's more relevant to the search query?
2. AJAX Tabs: We have pages that have Tabs triggered by AJAX (example: http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.html). I'm wondering about the current best practice. Google recommends HTML Snapshots. A newer SEOMoz Article talks about pushState(). What's the way to go here?
Or in other words: How to get Tabs & Accordion content indexed and allow users to navigate directly to it?

hello Philip,
robots.txt file allows you to tell the web bots that crawl your site what is a link and what is not a link that you want to show to the world and to Google
Most search engines will analyze and follow a link only if it contains three query string parameters or fewer.
many parameters in the link shown you have 5 parameters they are what come after the1st / as shown below you have 5. You can block off certain parameters with robots.txt
/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock
http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.htm
for some reason whenever I go to your link you have posted I get this error
The requested URL /system/sling/cqform/defaultlogin.html was not found on this server.

please links above regarding URL parameters and Microsoft and Google agree that too many parameters and they will not search the link.
I hope this is been helpful
sincerely,
Thomas

Hi Thomas
Thanks for the resources. I'll have to check with IT which solution seems most practical.
Though I don't understand two points:
- Where does robots.txt come into the game?
- How do we have too many parameters in http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.htm? Can you specify this?
Thanks!

I would do some serious decoding
if you want to see what Google sees this as a great tool http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/
see what screaming frog tells you then try to fix it in Unicode 8
can fix some of this by going to the bottom of this page and changing your robot.txt.
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_txt
you have too many parameters http://www.swisscom.ch/en/residential/help/loesung/entfernen-sie-sim-lock.html
in my opinion you forgot some serious code changing To do.
if you want to use one of the tools Google recommended you'll need I-frame crawling and you can do that with this along with the 2nd URL

because it is Java based there are some great tools found here as well
I wish you the best and hope that this is helpful,
Thomas

Problems preventing Wordpress attachment pages from being indexed and from being seen as duplicate content.
Hi According to a Moz Crawl, it looks like the Wordpress attachment pages from all image uploads are being indexed and seen as duplicate content..or..is it the Yoast sitemap causing it? I see 2 options in SEO Yoast: Redirect attachment URLs to parent post URL. Media...Meta Robots: noindex, follow I set it to (1) initially which didn't resolve the problem. Then I set it to option (2) so that all images won't be indexed but search engines would still associate those images with their relevant posts and pages. However, I understand what both of these options (1) and (2) mean, but because I chose option 2, will that mean all of the images on the website won't stand a chance of being indexed in search engines and Google Images etc? As far as duplicate content goes, search engines can get confused and there are 2 ways for search engines

to reach the correct page content destination. But when eg Google makes the wrong choice a portion of traffic drops off (is lost hence errors) which then leaves the searcher frustrated, and this affects the seo and ranking of the site which worsens with time. My goal here is - I would like all of the web images to be indexed by Google, and for all of the image attachment pages to not be indexed at all (Moz shows the image attachment pages as duplicates and the referring site causing this is the sitemap url which Yoast creates) ; that sitemap url has been submitted to the search engines already and I will resubmit once I can resolve the attachment pages issues.. Please can you advise. Thanks.0 -
Is it important to keep your website home index page simple to rank better?
My website http://www.endeavourcottage.co.uk/ markets holiday cottages and it's grown from my own singular cottage into a small letting agency and I used to rank at best number 3 for the short tailed keywords like Whitby holiday cottages with its drop-down to position 10 on Google.co.uk. So this week I was looking for a UK business to help me improve my rankings and the first thing they said was my home page is detrimental with the listing too many conflicting info with it advertising all 12 properties on it. They suggested a door entry page into the site keeping it simple but when I run it through the analysing tool here on Moz for "Whitby holiday cottages" as an example it came out looking okay. I do the usual things of title tags and meta descriptions for my keywords etc any suggestions or advice would be very welcome thank you Alan

Redirect From .aspx to .html if already indexed - Website Redesign
Hi Guys I would like to know if somebody could possibly shed some light on this for me. We are in the process of re-designing our site, but we are keeping all of our content in terms of site structure, internal linking etc. the same. Now we were wondering if it would be a SEO best practice for us to change our pages' extension from .aspx to .html and just put a re-direct from the aspx to the html pages. Or should we keep everything as is, and maybe just revise our on-page seo efforts as well as do some more link-building. I just have to note that we are currently ranking very well for top positions and obviously all these pages are already nicely indexed. And then another question I have is with regards to our mobi site of this same website.Our dev team created it using Responsive Web Design, but they decided to implement techniques that show and hide content based on what device you are viewing it on. So when viewing it on your desktop, it will show content as per normal, but when viewing it on a mobile device it will hide this content and show the content formatted for that specific mobile device. So we are obviously sitting with a case of dup content here.Is this technique acceptable, or is there a workaround/different way of implementing this? Thanks In Advance Dave
