      Hi,

      I'm kind of an SEO noobie, so please bare with me 🙂

      On one of the sites I'm working on I got a request to move large blocks of content, just placed on the page currently, in to tabs.

      This makes sense. We tried it and it makes navigating through the information much easier for visitors.

      My question is: Will Google consider this as hiding information? It's not loaded dynamically. It's all their when the page is loaded, in the source, but not displayed until the visitor clicks the tab.

      Will this cause SEO issues?

      Thank you!

        What are you using to accomplish this ? CSS ? HTML5 ? AJAX or something else ? All these technologies have a Search Engine Friendly way of doing it. It really depends how you are doing it. It sounds like AJAX to me, but could also be CSS...so..depends.

          It works with ajax (some javascript and some css). The content is rendred inside the page, but is only displayed (via javascript) when the visitor clicks a tab.
