View Source Question. 2

[compxinu]

I was just sent an email with a link, the website was called

http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com.

I tried to view the source because I think the site has a really nice clean layout. I just wanted to study the source. Well, when I clicked to view source within my IE browswer, all it showed me were bible quotes and such.

Question:

How can I with my personal websites, when people want to view my web source code, how can I show them something different rather than my source code? Hope this question makes sense.

And thank you for all who reply.

You can't do it.

Most likely the page is using a cheap trick to foll you into thinking that something else is there. What is the URL to the page and we can tell you what they did.

Hope this helps

They're just using frames. The main content is in frames, and all the bible quotes are outside the <FRAMESET> tags. If your browser didn't support frames, it would show you the quotes instead.

If you're curious, most of the source can be seen by going to the following link:

Awesome and thanks so much for your time.

They are using a very cheap method of trying to trick search engines. Because the search engine will see the content without the frames rendering, they will read the quotes and treat that as the content of the page. (Or that's their hope anyway)

Quite ironic really, a website preaching about God trying to use deceptive SEO methods.

Hope this helps

Hmmmm... Not exactly Jeremy Paxman are they? I think I'd ask some tougher questions if I got a one-to-one with the Almighty. Nice pictures though.

Like the guys say, the text you see is on the frameset page. It shouldn't ever be shown on a browser, even non-frames text browsers, because it's not in a <noframes> element. If it's intended to be a SEO tactic it's a counter-productive one, there's lots of lovely text for the spiders to get their teeth into (if spiders have teeth) in the site proper, it's just hiding inside a pointless frame.
