Make textmode artwork content indexed by search engines #38

Closed lordscarlet closed 4 years ago

It could be tough to work around Google guidelines, but I don't think it would be against the spirit of the guidelines.

Very possibly related to #33.

I am wondering if doing #52 would help with this?

I'm not really sure which structured data fits this purpose and also the length of the content. per piece i have between 0 and 100.000 characters. it was up to 2 million but i did some cleaning in the FTS index last week. obviously those which are really long we can trim somewhat but still for example infofiles i'd like to have them indexed completely and they can contain a lot of text.

i've been looking at this isues earlier and I want to be very careful with hidden content to prevent punishment. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66353?hl=en

i was also considering to raise the question in /r/TechSEO

Yeah. That's why I was wondering about using structured data. That does not seem to violate the "hidden content" situation especially if we use JSON-LD. I think CreativeWork would certainly apply in this situation. What I don't know is that it would actually put the description as something that gets picked up by search.
