A simple "back" link should work, if the popup can be accessed in every page, maybe you need to link to "home", if not, link to the page where the popup link shows.
IMHO, you may want to re-evaluate the technicality of the popup. If the "certain types of information" belong to a section of a page, you can still use popup, but make sure that when JS turns off, the "certain types of information" is treated as part of the page, not a link that pulls a page of content via Ajax fetch (and I assume that is what you used); you can achieve this by using combination of simple show/hide and absolute positioning for the popup div, this way, there will be no issue with google search result. tee On May 12, 2011, at 2:14 AM, Bob Schwartz wrote: > I have several sites where i use pop-up windows to present certain types of > information. > > When someone does a Google search sometimes Google lists results from these > pop-up pages. > > When the searcher clicks on the Google result he gets the pop-up window as a > stand-alone page in his browser with no links to anywhere on the actual site. > > Savvy people would just delete the part after the domain in the url bar, hit > enter and be at the site, but I'm discovering not all are savvy. > > So, is anyone aware of any clever javascript that would detect if the page > had not been opened as a pop-up and write a link to the actual site (and not > write the link if opened as a pop-up)? > Or, any other suggestion (besides "don't use pop-ups")? > > Thank you, > > Bob Schwartz > ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
