    Google Webmaster CACHED: Question/Concern

    I have seen this for a while now in my Google Webmaster /Statistics / Index Stats / Cache: - The Current Cache of your site - cache:yoursite

    What I see is below the missing Tabs and Links to articles in my site

    Why do I not see the Tabs?
    What can I do to correct
    The tabs are created AJAX Tabs YUI AJAX Tabs Content Script - Version 3.0 (YUI) - vBadvanced Forums

    bots don't read/render javascript, thus, they can't see any of your forums either.

    I suggest NOT using any "ajax forum home" scripts out there.

    Hummm

    Analytic's is shows me I have a bounce rate of 1.60% with 69.xx% new visits and so one.

    I see bots all over my pages

    Can I use virtual html in this case ?

    No, that won't help. In fact, it will only make more of your content hidden.

    Bots do not effect the bounce rate (again, GA is javascript, and bots don't render JS)


    simply put, that addon is poorly coded (in terms of SEO... i haven't bothered to look under the hood) and should be un-installed or replaced with a better solution, such as something use the DOMTAB method. This loads everything up front in source (thus, bots can visit) but still arranges in the tab layout you like.
    DOMTab - Navigation tabs with CSS and DOMscripting

    Thanks looking into it

    I understand bots dont effect bounce rate. My point was that I have a very low bounce rate inspite of the tabs

    IMO, a super low bounce rate is proof that you aren't getting search result visits. Anything under 30% is simply un-normal for a well-ranking trafficed web site

    Well, Not sure what you mean by well-ranking? I am a new site about 6 months old now. I am looking to bring it higher in ranking and indexing. I have taken your advice, set up recent threads and will work on the domtab solution in the mean time.

    The Tabs is a very good feature and well liked

    That's the joys of SEO Sometimes the things you users like the best are the worst things for SEO. Finding the common ground is what makes or breaks you

    Ya I guess, and so goes the limitation of DomTab, cannot seem to figure out how to call the PHP files to display the content like I get in YUI

    the dom tab doesn't use ajax.

    it puts everything avaialble in source on page load (that way bots can read everything), and using css/js it shows/hides "layers"

    Yes, but what do you plan to do with it? Hiding it can lead to cloaking penalties.
