virtual_odin Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Does anyone know the answer to this? Or is there a good tutorial anyone knows of? I have just done a keyword search of a site I am developing and because the google maps pointers are all there repeated umpteen times, "onmouseover" and other such are coming out as high ranking words (above the content). Since my site is not about coding, I don't want it to appear in a search for "onmouseover"! Surely Google and other search engines ignore what is between the <script> tags. Or do they?As always, grateful for any pointers.

fenway Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 They should completely ignore it, but it depends how the script itself was included in the page... what kind of search did you do?

virtual_odin Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 That's what I thought. I was using a "keyword density checker" by http://www.webconfs.com to look at the word content, so I guess it is flawed in not skipping the JavaScript. Certainly search results seem to exclude the JavaScript in the sense that if I search on the words within the JavaScript that are not on the site proper my pages do not appear in the listings.
