What a search engine sees when it loads one of your pages is not the same as what your browser sees. To understand why, you will need to understand a couple of things about search engine optimization (SEO). You will also need to understand how the web page is created. Please see below for more explanation:
1. A user types a ULR into his browser or clicks a link, causing the browser sending a message to the web server asking for a particular page.
2. The web server grabs the page and quickly reads it to see whether it needs to do anything to the page before sending it.
3. The web server complies the page, if necessary. In some cases the web server may have to run ASP or PHP scripts, for instance, or it may have to find an SSI (server side include), an instruction telling it to grab something from another page and insert it into the one it's about to send.
4. After the server has completed any instructions, it sends the page to the browser.
5. When the browser receives the page, it reads through the page looking for instructions and then, if necessary, further complies the page.
6. When the browser is finished, it displays the page for the user to read.
Here are a few examples of instructions the browser may find inside the file:
1. Browser requests a page from web server.
2. Web server grabs the page and reads the instructions in it.
3. Web server complies the page, adding component to specify in instructions.
4. Web server sends the page to web browser.
5. Web browser further complies page.

Thus you can use two kinds of instructions to build web pages:
A. Server-side Instructions
B. Browser-side Instructions
This concept is very important:
Server side = visible to searchbots
Browser side = not visible to searchbots
