I have a web site that uses those Macromedia created javascript Menus (the mm_menu.js thingy.
Now, would Google completely ignore that JavaScript files, even though you could easily pick up URLs in the JavaScript code?
Lots of web sites use mm_menu thing, for better or worse, and from checking google, they all appear to be crawled and index through.
But, from being a long time reader of this forum, I always believed that Google and most search engines ignores anything betwene the <SCRIPT> tag.
Is this correct? Can anyone out there help me out?
you would do well to put a plaintext nav on your pages (perhaps at the bottom) that allows both g and other spiders, but also visitors with js off to navigate your site.
We were actually thinking of not making the JS file external...yep, I know, lots of code.
Any chances, google will find links mentioned between the <SCRIPT> tag?
I have been lobbying for the placement of some of the links (only for major sections, as in total we have over 40 links) to be placed on the bottom - but to no avail.
They will, however, place a sitemap link on the bottom of every page.
Thanks!
basically, the idea is that you create a class of paragraph that will not be shown to vintage users.
also, investigate the use of a text nav inside simple <noscript> tags - then you don't have to lobby to get it added, just have it there to show to people if the main nav isn't coming up.
