Hello. I'm having a problem with my navigation links. It seems that they're overiding the page content (which itself is very targeted for desired keywords). The adsense mediabot is returning ads that relate to my navigation links instead of the content on some of my pages.

My navigation links on each page are called with SSI from an external file so changing the navigation for the whole site won't be a big problem, once I know what to do to solve the problem.

How can I make my navigation links (in the left-hand column) non-spiderable. Of course I have another set of text links at the bottom of the page for Googlebot to spider. Will javascript help in this regard? Is there a better way?

Your help will ge greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You try disallowing the SSI navigation file using robots.txt .
