Does my text get picked up and does it hurt me?

[clarkhaddock]

I have created two areas on my site that I wanted to know if they are going to get picked up and indexed for their keywords.

I have a scrolling text at the very top of my website. It is the very first thing. It is even above my logo. Do SE pick the text up or becasue it is moving is it not able to read it? Also, is it look down apon or will it hurt my ranking? the address is: http://www.countrywidepromotions.com/

Second thing is I have a customer reviews section that has the topics at the top of the page with all of the reviews hiddne. then when you click on a topic the review shows up. It does not go to another page. Do SE pick this up? Will it help or hurt? http://www.countrywidepromotions.com/index.html/page/shop-custrev

Google does not see the text as moving. A search engine views the code of your site rather than the front end that the user seas. Therefore if the text is moving or not the SE will still see it.

You have a very good looking site there, however I would have a look at the bulk of CSS code that you have on the page. It is quite easy to include the CSS. This will make the document lighter for the SE to read.

I try to have each page have an article of about 250 to 350 words, if you have all the customer reviews on one page you are taking away from the amount of pages that the SE can index on your site. SE's like big sites.

I would make each review an individual page.

Thank you for the input. What about the color of the scrolling text. is that going to hurt me? Is so, how light should the text be?
