For example: if you click on a category from your category list on storefront or sub categories it must allow you to put a popup there to allow you to tell your customers a bit more about the products / services that can be found on that page. Would be even greater if the popup can be picked up as part of the SEO for that page.

This would be a great space saver as it would allow you to say so much more without having to keep it sweet and short.

Below is an example image of a manufacturer page, have a popup there and you can provide a whole page of info in the popup instead of just bit of info as you can see. But it will all be pointless if the info inside the popup does not form part of the SEO for that page.

Thanks! I looked at the image you provided as an example. We could develop such a mod and in order to make it "seo valuable" the "pop up" could be developed so that the "pop up" is "seo valuable" as long as the pop up link starts with "<a href=" then a URL, then the other stuff you want (ALT tags, size tags, CSS, etc), and finally a closing "</a>". As long as you follow this, a search engine will usually be able to follow it and pass on link popularity.

Additionally, if you are looking for actual "on page seo value" it is possible to "Show and Hide Text in DIVs with CSS and JavaScript". This would create an expandable text box that would accomplish the same thing but rather than a "pop up" your viewer would see a nice text box expand. Now you could take this same technique one step further and throw in a little AJAX to make the content appear to "pop up" rather than "show/hide" but I think the "show/hide" is cleaner.

Let me how I might help!
