The Adidas website was brought to my attention recently, as it has apparently won some design awards. A quick Ctrl+U to look through the code and I stumble across this comment:
<!– HTML Content for SEO –>
Under the comment are a few bits and pieces followed by a whole load of copy, held within tables that are hidden by CSS. Now, I’m all for usability/accessibility, but blatantly advertising the fact that the copy is included for SEO purposes is surely a no-no in anyone’s book?
Awareness test
It has been FAR too long since I last posted on this blog, and to be honest, haven’t really had any inclination to do so in a long, long time. Today, however, something grabbed my attention and I needed a place to voice it as such. Perhaps this is the start of a new bout of blogging, perhaps not.
Digg have started putting frames around sites, following suit after Facebook and a number of other social networks did the same. Yet, there is a difference, where Facebook et al frame every link, it seems Digg are adhering to the Ts&Cs located at the target site. For example:
NYTimes article, redirected to site
If you get the NYTimes sponsored ad, it won’t actually redirect you, if you don’t, it will, to the actual page on NYTimes… This is all very interesting!
