Robots and Navigation Bars

[Charley]

Our index page (home) links directly to 16 pages (projects) each of which is one click away, using navigation bars, and each nav bar has a keyword title.
Q. Will robots, crawlers, etc find these keywords on the nav bars or should we assemble the keywords into the text on the index page ?

Re: Robots and Navigation Bars

You need to use an old fashioned seo text browser. If you use the drop down menus from bv Google does "not" see them. You are better off building a link to the page of links and then to the final page or just a straight link.

You need to make sure search engines can get to every page from every page. Making it easy for google to crawl is a good thing.

Let me know when your site comes up I can check it and see how they show up.

many thanks - we're showing up ok in our keyword searches and looked at what google & yahoo have cached / not cached so our redesign will probably use direct links
