I have this code on one of my webistes: <p><a class="skiplink" href="#">Skip over navigation</a></p> Does this affect my seo? Is this code telling the SE to ignore my navigation links?
I'm not sure what the purpose of that would be... If the navigation code is also included in the source HTML for the page, it's not going to affect you from an SEO perspective. It just seems to allow the user to jump 'over' the navigation which typically is in the header or left navigation anyway. So not sure why that is there. Perhaps if you provided a URL we could view it ourselves in context instead of viewing a single line of HTML and not knowing what else is in the source.
Looks like a CSS trick of some sort. All of your normal navigation links are still there. So it doesn't appear that it would hurt anything in any way from an SEO perspective. Very nice clean site. I like the way you're using CSS to replace text links with images. The site looks really renders nicely in Firefox w/ automactic image loading turned off, java turned off, and java script turned off. The format of the home page remains virtually the same as w/ images turned on as with them on. Very nicely done.
Thanks! I paid to have the site redesigned a year ago. I can do simple html, and I wasn't familiar with this code. I am trying to rank for a certain keyword and can't get off of the second page! Just looking into everything. Thanks!
