Hyperlink SEO Trouble - 12/20/2007 20:52:46
I am just making my first website and I planed to use a white page background with a table with a coloerd cell in it that would contain my navagation hyperlinks.
First I was going to use white text for my hyperlinks because of overall page design but I was told that this would be seen as spaming by the search engines (white text on white background). To get around this I created a gif of a bule background with white text and made the text hyperlink hot spots. They both look just the same but now I have just heard that the spiders have a hard time with image maps too.
Is this true? If it is how do I work around it?
Thanks in advance.

????? Confused.... ????
Why would you make white links on a white background. Nobody can see the links.... ?????
And yes, maps and hot spots are not a good way to go for SE purposes.... ????
Still confused....

Usually yes - if humans can't see it - why would you want it? You are creating a webpage for humans to see / read, not search engines to maybe follow links. Use an XML Sitemap for that

i think they mean that because their links are white and the PAGE background is white google may see it as spamming/stuffing (whatever) but if you colour the table cell that's not white text against a white (CELL) background
