      When i do a google cache of our site, i see 2 menus, our developers say that's because the 2nd is for the mobile menu - is that correct, as when i look up other sites that have mobile rendering they only have one menu visible. Plus GWT's has the number of internal links per page at least x2 what they should have - are they connected?

      Secondly when i do a spider test through http://tools.seobook.com/general/spider-test/ it shows all "behind the scenes text" eg font names, portals, sliders, margins - "font size px" is shown as 17 times and a density of 2.15% - surely this isnt correct as google will be thinking that these are my keywords !?

      My site is www.over50choices.co.uk

      Thanks

      Ash

        Hi Ash,

        I think you have reason for doubting your code but not being a programmer, I can only tell you to have someone else give you a second opinion.  It is odd that your pages do not render in Google's cached version unless you view it as text only.  Also, if you use the seobook tool, the html coding isn't included in the report for other domains the way it is reported on for yours.  As far as the duel nav menu, that's another programming issue that seems unusual.  These issues may stem from the implementation of your mobile site but again, I'm not an authority on that.  Do you see any ranking symptoms you think my be attributable to this?

          You should probably have them noindex nofollow the login link. My crawler picked up tons of them.

          I just see a white background when I check cache on google.co.uk.

          Keyword density is a myth, don't worry about it.

          The 'behind the scenes' text is the source code. It could likely be done better, but there's isn't any getting around not having source code. (I won't touch a .Net site, so I'm not trying to sell you anything.)

          Also, there appears to be some duplicate content concerns.(e.g.: Page.aspx page.aspx)

          There's definitely more to this, but I should probably get a couple hours of sleep before the day job.

            Hi Chris i dont know if its impacting my rankings, but thats what i am trying to establish ie my rankings do move up and down and most are on page 2, if these technical issues were resolved would it improve how google reads my site?

              Hi Travis i think there is robot txt to block the crawlers in my site map for the Login issue?

              With regards to the source code, i know all sites have it, but i dont why my site is showing it on the SEOTool spider search, when it doesnt show the code for any other site?

              What duplicate pages are you referring to?

              Thanks

              Ash

                My mistake. I must have been up too late and started seeing double. I can't find any equity with what I saw then and what I see now.
