SEO for This JS Page

[PTC]

Im building some pages with photo albums. The default URL is

Xhttp://www.mygreatsite.com/

But when you visit the page, it automatically goes to


Xhttp://www.mygreatsite.com/#http://www.mygreatsite.com/imagedire...lbumimage1.jpg

How will this affect my SEO for the page, I assume I should still be linking to mygreatsite.com/ and this will be the URL that should be the strongest SEOwise?

As I understand your description, you'll be using Javascript to redirect a root URL page to a specific image? That's not a good strategy for search.

If you mean something else, a better, more detailed description would be helpful.

Yeah, it looks like that is what's going on, I didn't write the java, wish I knew how to change it to optimize this better.

I would dump the Javascript code and use a different script to handle your images. Whoever wrote that code doesn't understand how to be generic with an embeddable function. Could it be fixed? Maybe. I'm not enough of a Javascript programmer to know -- or care.

There are simpler ways to embed an image gallery in your site. If all else fails, set up your images on Flickr and use a Flickr tool to handle the gallery.

Will it hurt your SEO? Probably not, unless you're trying to get the images indexed.
