I've done a site search and couldn't find any info on whether or not Googlebot can follow links from within a map for example :

<map name="FPMap1">
<area target="_blank" href="http://www.mydomain.com" shape="rect" coords="244, 9, 352, 24">
</map>

I guess they can because it is still a regular HREF link to follow but I'm not totally sure. Can anybody let me know for sure.

There's been a discussion in the HTML forum about this. From what I understand if it's got the URL with the href then they can.
