Is there any reason why you would want to turn the welcome message into an image?

as i understand it, a search engine reads the top bit of every page on your site. if you have text welcome headers it getting that text on everypage it visits.

if you have a image there, it skips the image and gets all the good content text in the thread title and post. basically

EDIT: from vBsetup

Quote:
So, why change your welcome headers to an image?

The same exact text is being read on every single page by the spiders who see it. Because of it's prominent placement on forums, they are apt to use it to describe each of your page.

We started seeing blurbs from our welcome header messages show up in search engine "descriptions" of individual pages, and it said nothing about the content of the page to people who might find us.

It also dillutes the value of other keywords on each forumhome, or thread display, because they show up on every single page.

Spiders can not read the text in images (yet! :spin: ), so we should take advantage of that to keep content relevent keywords as important as we can.

I've settled on a final product, and you should see it live.

I opted to link the whole image, rather than do image slices.


Animated? Like what?
