    Added Spaces

    Just discovered that on one of our websites, when viewed via the Source right-click, the <title> tag on all the products is populated with spaces thus
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Ventura for F800 R
    </title>
    That site is www dot mistergear dot co dot uk/acatalog/f800_r_09.html
    V 10.03


    On another site of ours, it looks like this:
    Code:
       <title>	
    					Givi V46 Monokey Top Case
    				
    				
    				
    				
    				
    				
    				
    				
    				
    				
    </title>
    (yes, those are Tabs!)

    Site is www dot hard-motorcycle-luggage dot co dot uk/acatalog/V46-case.html
    V 8.5.1

    We have of course checked the title fields in Actinic and also examined a hierarchic export and everything appears perfectly normal, i.e. no extra spaces, tabs, N/L or anything else.

    I imagine that if we set the flag for compact html/cgi these would disappear, but I have two questions:
    1. How did they get there
    2. Does it matter? Particularly with regard to their affect or otherwise on search engine bots.
    Kind Regards

    I suspect you have some BLOCKIFs in your Title tag that are not 'active' and have therefore no code.
    If you change the BLOCKIFs etc all into one line you may be able to get rid of the white space.

      You're right Duncan - there are some in the Outer Layout.

      Does it matter about these spaces for search results do you think?
