Link Title Attributes, Acronym & ABBR Tags


Does Google Count Text in The Acronym Tag?
From my tests, no. From observing how my test page ranks – Google is ignoring keywords in the acronym tag.
My observations from a test page I observe include;
  • Link Title Attribute – no benefit passed via the link either to another page, it seems
  • ABBR (Abbreviation Tags) – No
  • Image File Name – No
  • Wrapping words (or at least numbers) in SCRIPT – Sometimes. Google is better at understanding what it can render in 2016.
It’s clear many invisible elements of a page are completely ignored by Google (that would interest us SEO).
Some invisible items are (still) aparently supported:
  • NOFRAMES – Yes
  • NOSCRIPT – Yes
  • ALT Attribute – Yes
Unless you really have cause to focus on any particluar invisible element, I think the **P** tag is the most important tag to optimise in 2016.
