Searching for other things on that page worked, but the title attribute of the abbr and acronym tags were not indexed.

Just so you ar all familiar with exactly what I'm talking about, here's two examples: <abbr title="This has no effect on your SERPs">But this part has the same effect as other text on your page</abbr>

<acronym title="This also has no effect on your SERPs">But this part has the same effect as other text on your page</acronym>

Make Your Index Template Different Than Your Other Pages If you look at a site like Top Ten MBA (not one of mine by the way), and then look at one of its inner pages, you'll see that the index page has a large section of text that does not show up on the inner pages of the site. This gives the illusion of having content that only shows on the index page.This is a great trick, and this article is meant to be a sample of how it is done. You see, I have checked the "Your HTML" box on Add New Page, and these paragraphs are being typed into the Summary Description box.
