crawl, index and rank OK?

Good question. Here is the answer:
Yes.

The way the plugin works is as follows:
1. all the content is displayed fully expanded
2. once the page has loaded, jQuery is used to collapse the expand elements.
3. once a user clicks a collapsed expand element, the content is displayed once more.

Google spiders don’t execute js… therefore your content is not hidden when indexed.
If you would like to see what googlebot sees, why not google Googlebot Simulator.

Of course things being what they are in the tech world, all of this can change. But for now, I know that when I do a google search for “twinpictures pressing down a special key” it is clear that content that is collapsed is being indexed.

And as Rodriguez says: That’s a Cold Fact.

Cheers for reply.
Didn’t know about googlebot simulator, its a nice little resource.

Hi Baden, Excellent plugin, just what I have been looking for.
I did a test and it worked out just like you said, google crawling and indexing fine.

I made a dumby post with some random letters and words(something unique that isnt on the web) within a collapse-o-matic expand element. Got post indexed using the video sitemap trick (gets it indexed within 5 secs)then did a search for my unique content. And it is indexed in google.

Thanks again.

Huzzah!
