Search Engines use what is called "Lynx" which is a text based browser.  This is what they will see in all CCP60 pages as the CSS stuff means nothing and that link is at bottom.

I guess I would say I have no issues about statements like this but even though one may think it is hidden,  it really isnt.  Misleading

Here is a screenshot of a lynx based browser showing statement:

Do not mind copyright statement.  Just do not need link.. YELLOW is Kryptonic Link

Great Thanks..  Feel sorry for those that may not know better though...  Kinda should not be a default and have it as a setting.

In talking about SEO we site owners take some pride in what links we may or may not have on our site.  Its find and dandy to place a link on your site but to see a "HIDDEN" link that is at the bottom of a page will have only one effect,  bots will leave your site.  I feel sorry for those that do not even look at their source code.  Maybe the word "Sorry" isnt the correct word.  I feel "Bad"...  I fee "Sad"  What would make me feel "Happy"is more knowledge for all CCP60 the better and it is good to be talking about this.  I think a store owner should see all links exsting on their web site and the funny thing is if I didnt happen to be scrolling down I too would have not seen it.

People work hard on building up SEO and a link like that one does nothing to help any CCP6 owner.  You want that bot to remain on a site as long as it can?

Have you ever watched the habits of a search bot?  If you have ssh access to your server tail you http log file and watch.  Strange little creatures..

If I place a link on my site it is usually my call.  Most links on my sites also link from the site I am linking too.  Thats called backlinking.  CCP has done none of this for it users.  I have seen no place to Link to LinuxCDShop.Ca thus giving a banklink off a PR site of 6 ( kryptronic.com is Page Rank = ) These forums are it.

I agree the SE bots are strange creations.  The things they do sometimes are very funny when you watch them and why the world they sometimes miss a link to page that is well known yet find hidden stuff is another of life's mysteries.

Yeah I have noticed that text in the source code although since our CCP isn't really doing the SEO work I have never bothered removing it.  I have thought its nice backlinking, but common.  Most programs I have used ID themselves and leave links.

Well I do know that they like simple text links and this was at bottom so it could not see anything else.  I am assuming the bots place a better rating ( do not know correct terms ) on links at bottom..  Just a thought. Plus it was at end of html doc and probably a good place to exit and maybe that helps in SE..  Who knows..  Also think about how many pages out there have this link?  Excellent backlinking..  I would pay good money for that,...  Yes indeed..  Can I put my site in there too..  Please....

I would think that the vast majority would not be "relevant" to kryptronic -- and I know there are more than a few "ADULT" type shops running CCP too. Zero control on where their link may be -- but they control the back links closely. Some folks have their sites on a list at CCP (like finished shops as samples of live sites). I couldn't get on it with 5.1 because I sell sexy clothing.

Remove the code below from skin.php of whatever Display Skin you are using.. 

<?php /* PHP FUNCTION */
           /* REQUIRED: Run the debug and closure function. */
           $skinfunc->debug(); ?>

What skin are you using??

I'm using the CCP E-Commerce skin.  When I removed the code it caused problems so I put it back.  In doing so I think I used the wrong editor and put in some unwanted formatting.  Bottom line is that I need a new skin file to start over with, as trying to fix this one hasn't worked.  I switched to the other e-commerce skin until I can get the original fixed.

Can get backups here:
