      The tabs are a method to display information that is in the page. Google see's all the information...it's not an seo problem...in fact it's a way of not overwhelming a user with too much information.

      The webpage is in no way thin due to tabs (seo-wise)

      If you need to check this view the source of the page all the information is there

        Technically a perfect page... nothing so Thin about it!... in HTML version Google can find all the information that is available under each tab so technically there is no problem with the page and you can go ahead the way it is at the moment...

          Brian-H is correct. I really like all the social media sharing buttons on top of the product page. Wise design indeed.

            This looks fine, not to flimsy. Tabs are all on the same URL so no problems there unless that content in the tab is repeated on hundreds of similar product pages. If the content is unique to each product then you're good. I see enough info on this page.

            good looking site.

              Thank you! We have been hit by Panda and I am checking with the best of the best for input. As an e-commerce site, its a balance between graphics and text. Thank you again for your time!

                Much appreciated. I value your reply and the fact you took the time to give me your opinion.  The content is unique to each page, so I have to assume that the downgrade of our keywords is due to the thousands of duplicate pages being generated by our dynamic search and login queries. I am going to put a disallow for a certain string and no index no follow the pages that are creating this nightmare. In the meantime, I have about 5 thousand 301's to redirect. Happy Monday all!

                  As a precaution, I would drop all four external links from your footer. If you need to mention your other brands, link to your about us page and link to your external brands there.

                    Would you suggest that links from our other brands to us be dropped as well? We dont want to be thought of as a link wheel site....

                      Yes - Google only wants to see natural links - alternatively, you can show all the links, just nofollow them

                        AWESOME idea! The powers that be would have been upset to take down the links, having them as nofollow will keep them happy. Once again, thank  you very much!
