Are my buttons java script?

S

Susie

I went to this site that shows what shows when search engines crawl my site,
and it said they wouldnt see my links because they are javascript. If they
are, how do I make them not? Here is the home button, (they are all simple
text) THanks so much for any help you can give me.

<a href="index.html">
<img border="0" id="img57" src="images/buttons/button_back_home.gif"
height="20" width="55" alt="Home" style="fp-btn: Simple Text 1; fp-font:
Times New Roman; fp-font-style: Bold; fp-font-size: 12; fp-font-color-normal:
#030303; fp-img-hover: 0; fp-img-press: 0; fp-preload: 0; fp-transparent: 1;
fp-proportional: 0; fp-orig: 0" title="Home"></a>

I would have a tendency to ignore "the site that shows which search engines crawl my site"

Your link starts with this: <a href="index.html"> and that's all that matters.

Also, the "only" way the "the site that shows which search engine crawl my site"
could know which search engines crawl your site, is if they had access to your server
logs,
which, if your domain account is set up correctly, are password protected.

Hi Susie,
Your links are fine - there's a lot of sites out there that say they'll
point out search engine errors etc - most are crap. As a rough rule search
engines will see the HTML on your page minus any formatting, so your link
will show as a link to index.html with the text "Home". The engine will then
follow that link to your home page and index what it finds.

To see what search engines actually make of your site go to Google and
search for your keyword(s) or to see how many pages you have indexed try
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:YourDomain.com

Sorry Steve, I don't think I explained very well. I used the site called
Poodle Predictor, it showed me what the search engines see. May I ask you
another question?

If I have been "extremely" challenged with making my site with just tables,
and rows, is my trying to do a css style sheet going to be a huge challenge?
It's very important that I get this site done right.

I have 30 pages, and now see that I have not done the <h1> <h2> and so on
where I should. And am very confused by these. But thats another
question...

Actually Iafter reading all day, I now see that I havent done alot of what I
need to do. SIGH.
Thanks Steve:)

That says there's javascript on the page - the question was are the links
written with javascript which would make them inaccessible to the search
engines. They are not - the javascript just adds a hover effect which isn't
ging to effect search ranking one way or the other.

Hi Susie,

The fact that Google has your home page is a good start - over time it will
add other pages from your site. You can't really control how quick this will
be but your site looks fine so it will happen.

Thanks Jon, I feel better, may I ask, do you know if every time I change or
add pages and republish, do I start all over with the time it takes google to
see me?
Thanks for your help,
Susie

They last hit you on the 22nd. Dunno how often they crawl, but you're doing
good if you got on google in less than a month.

No it won't take longer. In fact adding pages is a good thing as Google will
see more pages each time it visits and identify your site as a growing
resource. Looks like you're on the right track so far - keep doing what
you're doing.
