I was recently looking at some of my competitors site and have found that one of them is using a <no script> tag to contain around 60 internal links.
Does the <no script tag work as a hidden comment tag? And if it does has it been abused beyond the point of no return!
It's the first time I’ve seen this tactic before and, as I’m not clued up on JavaScript I’m not sure what the true purpose of the tag is.
thoughts appreciated
The <noscript> tags proper use is for the inclusion of some html navigation structure, so that people who have Javascript disabled can still use your site properly.
As far as i know your only supposed to have the <noscript> tag presetn if there is a call for a scrip elsewhere on the page. I suppose improper use of this tag could be indicated by the lack fo the call for a script.
People do pack loads of links and keywords and valuable content in th <noscript> tag, to try and help them in the SE's although im not too sure if this is ethical.
If it is just links to other pages on the site in question and the page does call a script at some point, then i cant see a problem. Otherwise it is possible they are using the tag improperly.
IMO
