googlebot

I am making a website with personal articles. The body of my articles is a basic div containing paragraphs, but recently I found it useful to use some span 's out of the paragraphs to manage my content as desired, hence in the div 's. As the web semantic becomes an important role and becomes more and more well constrained, I was curious of the downsides of such a practice. I am not too familiar with the standards of HTML yet. However, I was thinking using span 's in div 's is semantically not clean. Is the Googlebot going to soil the referencing on that? There is nothing wrong with using a

The Googlebot seems to be crawling up inside my jQuery and creating links ending in /a that don't exist and then reporting them as 404 errors. http://www.mySite.com/a The site validates green at the W3C. The "/a" is coming from inside jQuery itself.

Am I doing something wrong? "googleon" and "googleoff" are only supported by the Google Search Appliance (when you host your own search results, usually for your own

I have my blog (you can see it if you want, from my profile), and it's fresh, as well as google robots parsing results are. The results were alarming to me. Apparently the most common 2 words on my site are "rss" and "feed", because I use text for links like "Comments RSS", "Post Feed", etc. These 2 words will be present in every post, while other words will be more rare. Is there a way to make these links disappear from Google's parsing? I don't want technical links getting indexed. I only want content, titles, descriptions to get indexed. I am looking for something other than replacing this

We have an AngularJS site using HTML5 routes. I just did some test "Fetch as Google" runs. The results are a bit confusing: On the fetching tab, I see our site as it looks on view source, with all the front end bindings {{ }}, and not all the HTML rendered On the rendering tab, our site looks perfectly fine, no {{ }} variables, it seems like Google bot fetched and rendered the site fine, which is maybe in line with this, http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ae/2014/05/rendering-pages-with-fetch-as-google.html . However, we are already prepared for Google to not be able to crawl our site, so
