Search Engine Friendly Tab PanelBy Will Bontrager Someone expressed concern that the content of a tab panel not immediately visible when a web page is first loaded may not be indexed by search engines. The concern was that the content panels behind all but the first tab are hidden and, therefore, will not be indexed. Let me put the concern to rest. We'll take the tab panel on the willmaster.com front page as an example. To rest the "not immediately visible for humans therefore hidden from search engines" concern, go to What Search Engine Spiders See and paste the web page URL of the willmaster.com front page into the form: http://www.willmaster.com/ You'll see the content of all the content panels, just like search engine spiders can see it it all. To rest the "therefore not indexed" concern, go to the willmaster.com front page and click on a tab to uncover other content. Copy a part of a sentence from that content, 6-10 words. The sentence portion doesn't have to be unique on the Internet, but it should be unique on the page. Now, paste that sentence portion into the search box at your favorite search engine. Put the sentence portion in quotes. Click the search button. (For my own test, I used "This library collection is added to every week" found at the Extensive Library tab, and did Google, Live, and Yahoo! searches.) The web page with the tab panel is listed in the search results. April 11, 2008 Please note: Articles on this website are presented "as is".
