Hi

If You know silos and using them as Your theme, check Your links that You dont want to be indexed by Google crawler. Couple days ago I noticed that Google now reads all of them and index them as a regular html links. Check Your google text caches or check this fameous example of dafont.com: dafont.com

I testet about 5 different ways of using javascript and It`s all for nothing. The only way that I can hide links from crawler now is to create link as a image map.

Do You know any other ideas how to hide links ( just to make sure that Your using real silo power) or part of the text from the crawler after the update ? Thanks

    I don't know, which links are supposed to be javascript links and thus not read/recognized on that page?

    • For example these links: "A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z". But if You don`t use javascript links on Your site You got nothing to worry about

      Interesting, thanks for sharing.

      I suppose we have to make more use of whatever it's called that makes you jump further down the page with # stuff.

  • Week ago I redirected old site to new site, instead of using 301 redirect I used javascript. My purpose is to redirect old/bookmarks visitors to my new site not bots. But I noticed that pages in new site that have no other way to get find them except the javascript redirect was listed already in google index pages.

    So I confirm they can now follow javascript links and redirect , I guess even javascript document.write

    Good find, I haven't looked at the dafont cache in a long time.

    The alpha.js & themesv8_en.js on dafont look the same as usual.

    An option for dafont might be to push the top nav links to the footer in the HTML source code like Wikipedia does, or wrap the nav link bundle in an internal iframe (PM If you need an example).

    BTW, I have no doubts that over complicated .js still works, look at some of the .js heavy themes on Themeforest. Most of those themes suck for passing internal links.
