      Hi guys,

      I was wandering if anyone can help me on how google looks at expanding boxes now? What I am referring to is on our home page orderblinds.co.uk we have an article written which shows a taster of the information about the company, the user then has to click read more to expand the box and see the rest of the content.

      Is this bad for seo as when you view the html all the content is there but I'm sure google can work out that this text isn't visible until you click read more?

      Any feedback on this subject would be great,

        If you are using it in a normal way, for good usability and not to be deceptive, you should be OK. (Matt Cutts on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsW8E4dOtRY )

          Yeah, that kinda display trick is transparent to the googleBot....i.e. it's for users not bots...so it's not an issue...use them as you see fit...

          🙂
