Can Search Engines See Your Site?

Search engines are responsible for an enormous amount of the web traffic that can potentially visit your site. If they cannot see your content it could cost you money, daily.

Now you see me

Various methods can be deployed to professionally design a search engine friendly and accessible site. However, if built in a certain way, the structure of your site can prevent search engines from being able to see and therefore categorise almost every page of your site. Few professionally trained website developers make this mistake.

If search engines cannot see your content they are unable to place your site in their search results

Whilst code exists to slightly reduce the damage, few website makers add the code correctly and it's effects are limited.

Checking your site

Finding out whether your sites contents are invisible is easy.

  • Within your Internet Explorer Browser, the program most web users use to see web pages, Click VIEW in the menu to the top left, then SOURCE.
  • Look for any code displaying the words FRAMESET.

If they exist, this version of your site is invisible to search engines. Subject to the value of the traffic search engines could be supplying, a non-frames version should be made. Consideration should also be made to the legality of your site and the likelihood of any action under accessibility laws. Something that prominent sites are having to urgently consider.

  • The existence of any NO FRAMES code is unlikely to help, if it does link to every individual page, as any pages found will often not have your branding or the sites navigation. A search engine is also unlikely to be able to move on from any page it does link to if that is also made in frames.
