Is the flow of page rank through anchor text links diminished if hidden using tabs

[SEONOW123]

Hi there,

Whilst there is plenty of information online regarding the devaluation of hidden content using tabs, it seems to be more difficult to get a clear answer as to how page rank is impacted when anchor text links are hidden.

If an anchor text link is hidden using tabs, will the flow of page rank to the page the anchor text leads to be negatively impacted? If so, why? To add further context, whilst the anchor text link would be visible in the HTML, the tab would be dependant on JavaScript to function.

Thanks,

Absolutely not. Google reads a text view (view source) of the page, where it doesn't matter if that content is "hidden" first of all. Unless it's being dynamically loaded with ajax when you click on the button. If it's there from moment 0 when the page loads, but just hidden with CSS you have nothing to worry about.

Hope this helps If it does please send a like. Thanks!
