Google indexed '<noscript>' information?

    Hey guys,

    I notice that google has indexed some pages with the warning information between the <noscript> tag. I am curious if it makes sense to remove the <noscript> warning.

    Thanks.

    Do you not understand what the <noscript> tag does? What made you think Google wouldn't index the content?

    You should not delete the tag, you should put the same content there as is in the script tags, but without the script. So don't just put a warning there, make a few sentences describing what the content on that page is so the search engines have something to index and will know what the page is about (at the very least).

    Why don't you make the <noscript> tag the last tag on the body of the page ?

    I usually have content above that depends on javascript to display correctly and therefore I use the noscript for the warning.

    Don't you have other content above that can be indexed ?

    Chios,

    Good idea. I will look into placing it as the last tag. So for future reference maybe its best to place the noscript tag after the content. Is that correct?

    Thanks!
