I have a navigation bar to the left of each page on my site to help visitors find the rest of my pages. I first tried frames but soon discarded that method when I had trouble uploading much less gettting crawled. Then I went without a navigation bar for quite a while. Next I tried using a table for the entire page with navigation bar, top & bottom headers & content all in separate cells. The reaction by the bots was that they would only crawl 2% of my site each visit. The table navigation method was also a problem because a great deal of my content is also within tables. Table within a table, never to be found. Now I've switched to using a shared border for top, bottom & left on every page. This method is by far the easiest to work with & convert into but I'm still not getting the full bot crawl that I want. I've read a little about page include method but would rather not hand write any code. Would this method be the best to propel me to the top of the engines or just another experiment? Is there a way to implement the Page Include method without having to bore through a bunch of hand coding? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
