Hi,

When I choose to “Hide post tags” it makes any difference to google? will the tags be seen and indexed? AFAIK tags are very important for SEO.

Well.. can anyone help mi with this question? Will “hide post tags” make them invisible for search engines?

Yes, they’ll be invisible to search engines as well, as the code is not only hidden, but it’s actually removed from the page.

If you want the search engines to still index them, you can keep the codes there, but use CSS instead to hide the tags.

“arczer”,

This is a great idea. Hiding the tags will make the page look much better and still have the benefit of tag pages being indexed.

Does anyone know what CSS code do we use to make the tags invisible on the page but keep the codes visible for the search engines and being indexed?

Thanx

This CSS will do:

.post-tags{

display: none;

}

Keep in mind though that it ultimately depends on the search engine’s algorithm whether or not it will take the hidden elements into account or not. Or you could also probably try something like this:

.post-tags{

position: absolute;

left: -999em;

}
