Is there an iframe with a link to this embedded page? Then this isn't particularly the behavior we want, ie that a search for this data gets a link to the data itself rather than a link to the exhibit that contains the data. I could accomplish the same thing by just making a standard a href link to the data file in a place where people would not click it.</pre><pre> Stefano Mazzocchi wrote: > One of the issues with Exhibit is that if data resides in json files (or > sparql queries, or rdf/xml files jsonized on the fly via Babel, or any > other way that is not embedded in HTML) search engines won't see it. > > The benefit of having data served thru another URL is that it helps > separating the concerns between the data producers and the data consumer > (in this case, Exhibit itself). > > But it really sucks that in doing so, we have enabled a much better user > experience for such data, but we have made it invisible to crawlers... > which is less then ideal for many people that would like their pages to > be found. > > So, one idea to keep the data and the exhibit page separate is to put > the data in an iframe as HTML (eRDF, RDF/A or whatever other way of > embedding exhibit data into HTML) and hide it with CSS declarations. > > The question was: would Google index that data if it's stored into an > iframe that is made invisible? > > It turns out they do! > > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=34234387438474874">http://www.google.com/search?q=34234387438474874</a> > > I added the above number to a page that is embedded in the > simile.mit.edu home page and is kept hidden.
