Include pages with navigational links

Does this affect my crosslinking

[jkruit]

Hi again,

This last few days I have been changing out some navigation on my site. I put the navigation in include pages because it was easier to control. Now that I have added the include pages for the navigation, I noticed that Front Page is saying that I have numerous unlinked pages. Are the search engines going to think the same thing, or will they be able to follow my site?

Please advise

Thanks
Janine

I don't know about FP, have you put the page through sim-spider [searchengineworld.com]?

The search engines will see the correct links. The dismembered pages only exist on the server end, on the client end they see the post processed pages - the same pages you see with your browser, the pages with the links.

You should not have any unlinked pages. If FP is showing broken links, then you have broken links and need to correct those, the spiders are going to see the same thing if those pages are linked from within other pages of your site.

If you've got a bunch of pages that you are not using and the broken links are referenced there, then I would remove those pages from your server, there is no need for them to be there and if there is one link leading to them, the spider will follow.

Hi,

I tried the simspider once and it doesntt work to well if you link your site with relative paths on shared borders/include pages etc, which i had made with FP2000

include ppages work fine with spidering, its the way ive made my navigation, where each subfolder has a link to other pages in the subfolder and links to parent pages etc

the older navigation style was replaced with re-directs to the updated structure, which i hope to keep for a long time, with any navigation changes limited to the includes

Thanks for the SIM-SPIDER! And yes, my links work.

Thanks again,

jkruit,

In FP go to tools, recalculate hyperlinks. Should fix your problems that FP reports.
