Does search engines crawl Javascript links ? - search engine optimization tip - march 13th 2005





Scripts are complex codings which difficult for some browsers and crawlers to read, Some tough javascripts are read only by advanced browsers, search engine crawlers are not advanced browsers some of the browsers that search engines use find difficult to index high graphics, So it is best to avoid too much javascript,

Prevent creating menus in javascript or in any scripting language, Create menus in simple html or other crawler understandable language, Javascript menus wont be crawled by search engines, Best is to avoid using clickable menus and other important inner page links in javascript,

if you cannot avoid using javascript menus just add the links to a sitemap and attach the sitemap to the homepage or any other important page,

If you have div layers that are written in html instead of using js arrays then search engines can pick that up.

You could also use the no script tag, but be careful. Keep it so that it corresponds to the navagation.
