Chrome and Internet Marketing

Internet Marketing and Google Chrome

 

Being an Internet Marketing and Seo conultant whenever a new technology or tool comes out my customers ask how it will affect their site. Well I have compiled a few rough points below. This is part one, I will follow up with part two soon…

Chrome and Internet Marketing

 

So by now most people have heard about Google’s new Web Browser – Chrome. So if you are like me you probably enjoy using it but have you considered the impact it has on Internet Marketing?

Getting Indexed for Internet Marketing Using Chrome

Now Google would be silly if they did not gleam some Internet statistics from their new browser. I have discovered that sites visited by chrome get indexed. Now I am not sure how many times you need to visit the site to make this work. Try it yourself, visit a page on your site a few times in chrome and wait a few days / weeks (depending on how much Google likes you site) and see if it’s been indexed. I’m not sure how Robots.txt files change this. Obviously do not visit pages that you do not want others to see!

Internet Marketing Design and Chrome

Well alot of people have found that Chrome mucks around with the format of your website, even more so than Firefox I hear you say! Well there are a few tweaks you can do to your CSS file to make your site work properley again. 

Chrome and ‘Height’

Chrome like firefox seems to treat the height attribute of CSS as no-overflow. So best to user min-height here…
