Hi,

I know for image we use keywords for "alt" and "title". i saw someone doing the following, is this a good idea or search engine will consider it a spam. I have not seen this practice very often so just wanted to make sure

PR means nothing to rankings or results, it's simply a mathematical formula of the number of links to the site/page.

And PR makes absolutely no difference at all to whether dynamic sites get crawled or not.

You may disagree with me, which is your choice.

I have seen many Dynamic sites that have a low PR2-4, that are dynamic with a ? in the url that did not get completely crawled. With a conversion to the site to still be dynamic yet have "static" pages the site then gets crawled without any problem. That is made with no change to actual content and the site was live for a few years prior.

True PR is a formula based on internal and external Links to and from your site. If a site has No or very few links to them (low PR), SE's such as Google could choose to not follow the dynamic links(ie not worth time and bandwidth for unpopular sites). It has been known that SE's do not want to get caught in an endless loop of dynamic content resulting in mulitple pages of similar content just arranged in different orders.

I do know this is true especially for sites that have more than 3 varialbles in the URL or a Session ID. With 3 or less they may get crawled a layer or two, but not the deep content crawls. It is also true that SE's are becoming better at following dynamic content, it just not standard yet.

Of course this is only my opinion/theory based on my experiences. If you choose to disagree I happily accept that.

Forgotten point in previous Post.

I have seen similar sites with higher PR(6+) and with same number of dynamic variables after the ? that have been deep crawled. So It is my believe that there is some relationship.

Also, you are correct that PR is not given as much weight in the Google Algorithym but it still is one of the few vialble indicators we have.

Hi,

Is this true that fro optimization point of view when writing HTML you should not have more than three levels of table.
I write HTML technically write but I sometime have table with in a table 4-5 levels down. I was wondering how much efect that will make on optimization?

Thanks

For search engine optimisation, no it's not true. Spiders aren't trying to actually render the page, so they'll probably ignore <table>, <tr> and <td> tags altogether. They won't count, or care, how many levels you have.

From the point of view of optimising the user experience: the more tables you have, the harder the browser has to work to render the page, and the longer it will take to display. For that reason you should try to keep the number of tables down. A lot of things that we used to need tables to do can be done with simple CSS now anyway.
