No problem, I am happy to praise HTML/CSS usage any day

Thank you! I know a lot of people could have easily done this in Flash, but I like to stick to HTML/CSS. It’s nice to have people recognize that, haha.

That looks cool – good to know you’ve used HTML/CSS as it would have been easier in Flash yet ultimately not as flexible and futureproof!

This is excellent, but previous one was more perfect and most fit in to its business. I feel some gape in the design and what he want to convey. Please don’t mind its my personal view.

I find if I’m worried about being penalized for a technique, I usually won’t try it. The main concern when designing a page should always be the user experience. Also if you try shady SEO techniques and get penalized, that completely defeats the purpose of SEO at all. Just my additional $.02, haha.

A really informative post, but I’m a little scared about google penalizing me….

I’ve heard of techniques like this before, and but I thought things like this could get you black listed with the search engines? Maybe I’m just paranoid, but I haven’t really looked into it in the past. Either way, thanks for sharing the idea! CSS is great for little tricks, haha.

A title attribute would help, although i was thinking slightly more sneaky.

href=”photo.html”>

would become

href=”photo.html”>Photo

and in your css do

#photo a {
display:none;
}

Hope that helps

Good call on working with the .htaccess, I do need to set that up. For the the anchor tags, would you suggest just adding a title attribute to them?

The meta descriptions do need to be updated, I believe the ones you see in the Search Results.

Thanks again for the feedback! I appreciate it, and it’s nice to have an outside view on a project.

I’d ensure that http://www.amberstevens.net/index.html was redirect to http://www.amberstevens.net using htaccess.

Also within each anchor tag on the homepage i would enter the text that the link goes to, but style the text to not display, not a great solution but gives google some text to work on.

Also descriptions of each page will help google out, not too sure where it has got the current listing from?
