Risky Tactics That Lure Search Bots Into Your Site

If you've got one or a few pages in Yahoo's index but are having trouble getting more pages indexed one thing that might work is putting links to your deeper, unindexed pages high in the code of the pages that are indexed. Discuss SEOChat forum discussion said, "I am getting new pages in the index by making them one of the first links on one of my already indexed pages." He goes on to say that he's not putting links to hundreds of pages up there - just the ones he considers the most important at the time. And he's doing this only in similarly-themed sites so that the links don't seem out of place. "I have rotated them in and out of my top-of-page navigtation - and I don't think that it stunk up my design or content - these are all similar-theme sites." The rotation allows him to get more than a few pages crawled from the already existing page. Another poster in the thread suggested that those concerned with hiding these links to maintain the sites current layout could try hiding your links in a noscript tag. Scott Harris, our head designer, suggested a more efficient, and definitely risky, method of hiding your links using CSS. Don't try this on your main site - you could kill your business. If you're going to use high risk techniques try them on a test site to see what happens. His first example was simply to set the visibility of your links to "hidden." Here's the code as he sent it to me: , the eBusiness Community Forum.
