marquee a problem result?

[vagelis_t]

<span style="background-color: #FFFF00"><marquee align="middle" scrollamount="4" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="380" height="20" scrolldelay="20"></center>
<font face="Verdana"><font size=-2>
60 links to my pages </marquee></span>

Is this spam for Google?

This is an easy one - you never have to post a code sample to know if something is spam or not, you just ask yourself a question:

Is it there to help your visitors?

If YES:

Not Spam.

If NO:

Spam.

<a href="ath.html">Hotels of Athens</a> - <a href="myc.htm">Hotels of Myconos</a>...............

lol .. how can marquee tag be answered yes or no .. it's a text effect like any other javascript.

although the anchor text 'links' could be a problem from spamming point of view

If it helps your visitors then it is fine.

:) marquee on its own has nothing to do with it. The point is, the question "Is this Spam?" is self answering. If you have to ask the question, then it probably is.

To my knowledge, google has no issues with marquee text. Before I read this topic, I had come across a site while searching for a word. The site ranks #1 and google highlights the keywords which are there in the marquee text.
