Can Spiders see my dynamic "includes" pages?

Hello,

I am hoping somebody can help me with this. I have purchased several front page templates that allow me to easily change the top header, footer, and side navigation bars for all my pages with ease. In eash of my pages, the header, footer, and naviagation bar is pulled from separate files. An example of a tag that I have in all of my pages looks like this:

<!--webbot bot="Include" endspan i-checksum="999999" -->

I would like the search engines to see the links on my navigation bar. I want to know if I can keep updating all my pages this way, and my links will be seen (indexed) by the spiders. If not, can somebody tell me how I can update all of my pages where the search engine spiders will be able to see all my links.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Albert

The easiest way to answer this is, browse to the page, and then right click and View (Page) Source.

What you see in the source is what the bot will see (unless you are doing things based on the User Agent).

Thank you for your response. Acutally I feel stupid because after looking over my source code earlier today I did notice that indeed my links do show up.

Thanks!
