Hello,
I've read a lot about using CSS to hide text or images (Matt Cutts blog etc.) and I have a couple of questions about this issue...
I use this technique to hide an image which contains extra info about a product I sell.
When the user hovers over a text link the image with product info is shown.
<< Please see the "More Info" tab on
http://www.galleryvandijk.com/tamara...tie_ta3_a.html to see this in action >>
MY QUESTIONS:
1) I use visibility:hidden to only show an image when the user hovers over the text link "More Info". Is this technique safe when considering SERPs and SEO?
2) Is use a span containing text (see html code below: Tamara Aladin - 'Tuulikki' vase) which is hidden until an user hovers over the text link "More Info". Is this technique safe when considering SERPs and SEO?
-----------------------------------------
The CSS-code I use (short version):
.gallerycontainer_b{
position: relative;
.thumbnail_b span
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
>>>> on rollover:
.thumbnail_b:hover span{
visibility: visible;
The HTML-code I use:
<div class="gallerycontainer_b"><div align="center"><a href="collectie_ta3_a.html" class="thumbnail_b">More Info<span class="popup_ontw">
Tamara Aladin - 'Tuulikki' vase<br /><img src="../Images/glas_popup/ta_trood_info.jpg" alt="More Info" width="250" height="190"/><br />
</span></a></div></div>
Thanx!
