Solve : Search Engine query?

Answer»

Back again. A QUICK question. My website begins with graphics at the top. I have PUT descriptors and keywords etc into the head HTML. Google has picked up pieces of the first stretch of text, which is not what I wanted. If I put 'alternate' text under the graphic at the top, would that register OK with the search? Thanks.....Google is a law unto itself.  You cannot determine what Google will index; their POLICIES can (and will) change without warning.  This is partly to defeat search engine spamming.  The best you can do it make a page LAYOUT that is logical for all users - inluding those who are vision impaired.  Think about it: blind FOLKS use screen readers, and these rely on alt tags, amongst other things (how else do they know what pictures are?).  Whether or not Google's cache will change as a result of what you do to your page, you should use alt tags anyway.

For search engine purposes, you could try using a hidden div containing the text you want indexed, at the top of your page.  e.g.:

Code: [Select]<div style='display: none;'>
  Whatever text you need.
</div>Google may however ignore hidden divs when indexing pages.  YMMV.Great advice. Will do all you advise. Thank you again!
