how to: set up non Java menu option

[serenity]

I read somewhere on this site that it is good to set up a non java menu for the search bots and for people that do not have java enabled but I can not find any how to information. Could someone please provide me with the script and how and where to set up my menu???? TY in advance.

for non javascript browsers you use this code

Code: Select all

<noscript>whatever you want to put here that they will see, links etc. </noscript>

I think I remember someone saying in one of the forums that the bots didn't like that or something, so for that I guess you'd just put in regular html text links way below all the content on the page. I believe someone suggested using the same background color for the text color in the links making them invisible. Just some ideas

thanks a bunch. I may just set up a table of contents page of some sorts and that way I don't have to alter all of my pages. just something for the bots.

Hi,

If I recall correctly, the comment about the bots not liking links in <noscript> blocks was made in reference to the link to milonic.com that is required for pages using a free menu license. The comment came up here, if that's the one you're referring to Ruth.

I think using the <noscript> is probably a good way to go. You'll find a good discussion of what you can do to get the search engines to spider your site in this article on the milonic site, written by Mitko Gerensky-Greene, of WebSage

Just my two cents... Cheers,

Kevin
