I’ve heard the words ‘z-index’ before but I’m not sure what that means. I’d love for you to illustrate in more detail/ explain what z-index would do ! Sounds creative in any case – thanks for sharing that great comment!

nice. How about css z-index and a mix of cookies to eliminate the annoyance to your visitors and we have ourselves another viable solution.

hey Zassana,

I’d go to scriptlance or elance or rentacoder and have someone create such a plugin for you. Just explain what it needs to do. The plugin you’ve linked to doesn’t seem to do what you need.

a little late but anyway…was looking for something similar for my wordpress blog.while searching for some plugin i found this:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/splashscreen/
but it doesnt seem to be what you are talking about(rollover , javascript etc) does it? what would be the effect of using this plugin in terms of seo?how spider would see my homepage?
another thing i found while searching is action popup plugin which can be used to do smth like that, no?i mean im still talking about wordpress and some easy way to implement this idea for by a non programmer. any ideas?

Very nice solution.

I’ll consider using a variation of this on one of the many biligual sites we work on so often here in Quebec!

I love reading your stuff Gab, keep up the great work!

No seriously Matt Cutts it isn’t cloaking I am using the Ajax for website functionality… *g* I have used the same approach for doing Testimonials as no one ever writes keyword rich ones I also wrote a previous Article on Javascript, AJAX and SEO.

I like the idea. A lot. So much so… that I’m going to use it. And with a cookie implemented…

No, my policy has always been that valuable comments get dofollow links. I’ve repeated the comments because many people don’t bother reading comments. I want to highlight and thank Benj and Pete for valuable contributions.

So if we comment on this article that means we’ll get a link back to our site with the anchor text we want? That’s kinda weird how your repeat user comments right above the comments only with a clean link and valuable anchor text.

Whatev… can you link back to ryanwhiteseo.com with the anchor text “SEO ROI”? thanks

Great point Pete! Hadn’t even considered that. It’s funny how they do all that only to serve the same content… Here in Canada though it’s more logical because of the two official languages.

hey Benj,

Thanks for the kind words and sharing your own personal experience! I’m always fascinated how different people in the industry, without even speaking to one another, will come up with the same solutions to a given problem.

Please let me know what happens with that client!

Interesting… Another nice thing about this approach is that you can cookie it and only show it to new visitors, so it’s not an annoyance. I hate all of the big corporate sites who make me jump through hoops to tell them my location, only to serve up 98% of the same content.

This is pretty much straight forward that I believe even without testing this would work. In fact we have presented this technique to a client two months ago as a solution to their Geo selection map image. So far we are just waiting on implementation hurdles to get solved and once completed, I’ll update you how it goes.
