Why do the majority of Tube Sites hide the url of their logo?
 

I notice that most tube sites do not display their logos as
<img src="..."></img>

but rather something like div
<div id="logo"></div>
where "logo" is an css element having its background image set with the logo url

Just wondering is there a reason for this? Any SEO benefits?

CSS loads faster... My guess is with that much traffic you want your site optimized to be as efficient as possible.

And it could just be the way most of the scripts are set up.

because they most likely stole it.

Agreed.

I doubt there is anything truly sinister going on. Either script is set up that way, or designer does it that way when working on the CSS/HTML coding part of the pie.

Its mostly the way the out of the box scripts are set up

Definitely a hidden factor to their stellar serps. :winkwink:

that made me :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

To hide the smoking gun. :Oh crap

anytime i do a design of my own, i always load the image as a background in a div. force of habit.

i don't know if it's the technically superior way, but it just feels right, seems cleaner and easier to work with. but i'm no pro designer.

i always have logo as a div

Really!!!!!!!! CSS... damit!

css is for the birds... old school html tables is the way to go...:Oh crap

Tables schmables, you should be doing it in ASCII chars.
