Comment on WordPress Hacks by SEO Dave.

WordPress Hacks Can’t help with problem 1, not tried to do something like that.

The SEO question is an easy one, if you don’t want the data as indexable text because it will add nothing SEO wise use images. Like you said you can add relevant alt text to the images which will add to the pages SEO.

Another solution would be to use an iframe to serve the data, but it’s more work to setup. You’d make a stand alone HTML page that contains the table and show it on any page you like via an iframe.

I used this technique over 5 years ago when I was building a network of classic literature sites with a book like format. Each book could have hundreds of pages and had I included links within every page with anchor text Page 1, Page 2, Page… Page 100 you can imagine how damaging SEO wise all that anchor text would be!

Example Arthur Conan Doyle – The Mystery of Sasassa Valley, the “Pages Of this Ebook.” menu item is within an iframe. That books only 6 pages, but some are hundreds of pages.

Thinking about it that could also help solve your problem 1, you’d format/style the table outside of WordPress (wouldn’t use the styling of the theme), so as long as you style the table data to fit in an iframe that works with the theme layout (around 500px in width) it should work with no problems.

I don’t think I received an email from you, if it was more than 24 hours ago I’d have responded by now (responding to emails within 24 hours).

If it was about the Stallion Clickbank affiliate problem I should have that running within a week. The update (Stallion) is pretty much complete, just finalising some protection so the theme can’t be easily edited and sold by others and make it so only customers can use it (I’ll be able to put the zip file on the site for a free download, but only paying customers can activate it). Plan is to test the theme on 20+ of my domains and if no problems send the theme to all Talian customers. If no major issues are reported activate a Clickbank affiliate program (it’s setup, just need to activate it). If things go wrong end of the month, if everything goes well within the week.
