			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my last blog post, I talked about <a title="Previous Post: The hidden truth about Accessibility -- Part 1" href="http://www.sceneonthe.net/the-hidden-truth-about-accessibility/">using accessibility standards to improve the SEO  of any web page</a>. The theory is that because search engines like Google, Yahoo!, Windows Live and Ask are &#8220;blind&#8221;, constructing your site to work well for <a href="http://getrxpills.com/buy/cialis.html">Buy Cialis Online</a>  those with visual impairment makes them ripe for the Search Engine Spiders too.</p>
<p>But we can take this a stage further; making the site even more accessible <strong>AND</strong> giving the Search Engines more content to  index. <a href='http://aquatrend.cz/images/'>Levitra venta </a></p>
<p>In fact, the use of CSS-styling to add extra content to the page which does not show unless the stylesheet is removed can <strong>drastically </strong>improve the amount of spiderable text on a web page whilst remaining within Search Engine rules about &#8220;hidden&#8221; content.</p>
<p>Current W3C standards include the <code>display </code>attribute, which includes the value <code>none</code>. If this style is <em>correctly </em>applied to an element it will not show up in a  browser which uses CSS. <a href='http://aquasped.cz/images/'>Opinion levitra </a></p>
<p>For example, we can define a style called <code>.accessible</code> thus &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="color: #993300;"><code>.accessible { display: none; }</code></span></p>
<p>This can be applied using <code>SPAN </code>tags thus &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><code>Now you see me <span style="color: #993300;">&lt;span class="accessible"&gt;</span>, now you don't!<span style="color: #993300;">&lt;/span&gt;</span></code></p>
<p>In a CSS-compliant browser such as <em>Internet Explorer</em> or <em>Firefox </em>what is seen is</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; font-size: 110%;"><span style="color: #993300;">Now you see me</span></p>
<p>But remove the style sheets for the page and you see</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; font-size: 110%;"><span style="color: #993300;">Now you see me, now you don&#8217;t!</span></p>
<p>This means that text can now be embedded in a web page which only shows up in &#8220;accessibility&#8221; mode (i.e. when the style sheets are not used).</p>
<p>An example of this might be the addition of explanatory text to a web page link &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><code><span style="color: #008000;">&lt;a href="/eng/support/" rel="Get help with your BlackBerry device, software or billing, and read about BlackBerry training and how to get technical support"&gt;</span><span style="color: #993300;">&lt;span class="accessible"&gt;</span>Get help with your BlackBerry device, software or billing, and read about BlackBerry training and how to get Technical <span style="color: #993300;">&lt;/span&gt;</span>Support<span style="color: #008000;">&lt;/a&gt;</span></code></p>
<p>In the browser, with a style sheet applied, this shows as &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; font-size: 110%;"><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Support</span></span></p>
<p>Without a style sheet applied, this shows as &#8230;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; font-size: 110%;"><span style="color: #993300;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Get help with your BlackBerry device, software or billing, and read about BlackBerry training and how to get Technical Support</span></span></p>
