Keywords and SEO

chantelle

if I upload a picture to Smug Mug that has keywords but I turn keywords off so they aren't displayed, will search engines still "see" these keywords?

Hi Chan'telle,

Sorry, editing my previous reply. If you use CSS to remove the keywords from being visible in your gallery, the keywords are still there to be indexed by search engines but some don't like hidden things. So to get the best results from search engines, you shouldn't hide the keywords.

Take care,

Well that's a drag. The keywords seem annoying and distracting.

meh. I'll just get rid of the CSS then. I'd rather not, as I like the clean look of my pages w/o the keywords.

Thanks.

I dont like the key words showing on my page. What CSS did you use to hide them. The one in the instructions does not work.

What I did was:
1. Go to Customise/Customise Site
2. Selete 'EntireSite' from the tree
3. Drag a CSS block to the top of the page
4. Type the following line into the CSS block:

.sm-tile-keywords{display:none}

Seems to work for me
