Google's Gary Illyes issued a PSA (public service announcement) on Twitter last night that basically warned content within a javascript array that only when expanded when you click e.g. "...", won't be indexed by Google. Here is the tweet:
PSA: If you put contents in a javascript array and only expand them when you click e.g. "...", those contents won't be indexed by Google
— Gary Illyes (@methode) November 4, 2015This goes back to what we covered a ton of the past year or so. Here are those topics:
- Google: We Won't Index Dynamic Content Behind Tabs
- More From Google On Hidden Content Within Tabs & Expand All
- Google Not Crawling "Click To Expand" Content Now?
- Google: Your Content In Tabs & Click To Expand May Not Be Indexed Or Ranked
- Google: display:none May Backfire; Google Weighs It Less
- Google: If Your Hidden Content Is Relevant To Users, Don't Hide It From Them.
So not much new here but for some reason, Gary felt to send out that PSA.
Forum discussion at Twitter.
