It's better to insert the keywords/text, etc. to the standard page content and to add a meaningful description to all pages (especially the home page).

I don't know of any penalty or bonus at this point in time for data-captions but the content is there though it probably won't be read like content within a paragraph tag or a header tag since it isn't either of those things.</p> <p>If you wanted to make that content the main point for searches then you would probably want to pull it out of the slideshow then. </p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/choices-slider-and-seo#post-98208 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:42:47 +0000 ilowelife 98208@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello:</p> <p>I understand from everything I read that Choices was coded to be SEO friendly but I'm a little uncertain about how well the built-in slider plays with Google. </p> <p>Can someone tell me if the data-caption attribute used for the slider actually gets indexed as page content? When I use a 'fetch as google' on a page that has content in a slider caption, that information does not seem to be read as content. We used a single-frame slider for a series of landing pages and we're unsure whether this is killing SEO.</p> <p>Should I pull this content out of the slider and find another way to display it? </p> <p>Thanks </p>
