I'm hearing from some SEO folks that since Google started running CSS and JS, standard DIVs that get shown as tooltips or accordions or sliders now count against your page quality because CSS and JS hide those divs until the user hovers over something or clicks something (which the Googlebot doesn't do).
They're saying these are counted as hidden text, and considered a spam technique. What I see people using them for is usability and self-discovery.
Anyone know any data on this?
- brown9-2 17y agoDo the SEO people have any actual evidence or numbers that they base that assertion on? Seems like so much "accepted wisdom" from SEO folks is just speculation.
