hi,

If I want all my links floowed and indexed I dont need to add a robot.txt or meta index,follow right, beacuse it will do this naturaly?

also, I have a line of code I am wondering if google is snaging on. under my header is a JS nabagation bar, all text is ubder this. the cache shows the whole page but i wonder if google wont see past the JS nav bar?

<script menumaker src="cartoonbrows.js"></script>

This is the script for the nav bar, is it done coreectly for google to either index it or ingore it. I'd like it indexed.

confused,
jay

Jay,

Robots have one mission in life: find web pages. They will follow links unless you forbid them to do so.

So, as you suspect, the answer to your question is that you have no need for robots.txt or META ROBOTS if you want all your links to be followed.

jlyons, are you asking whether Google will follow the links in the navbar that's js?

[jlyons1234]

Mracia,

Yes, I also want to know if it will follow th links in thte JS nav bar. I feared it would not so I made a text table with the same links on the bottom of the page just in-cause it didnt foolow the JS. Good idea or bad?

All sorts of possible reasons for not wanting particular pages indexed - quiz results, for instance. You might not want to have people accidentally reading the answers before taking the test if they happen to stanble on it in Google. :)

As long as you have the text links at the bottom of the pages for the navigation you want you'll be OK, they'll be followed.
