Links don't appear in search engines
I recently purchased your Gold menu product for one of my customers, whose website looks very nice with the new menus. However, the search engines are
not detecting any anchor text for the links in the menus. In fact, they're not even picking up the menus' URLs! The menus don't show up at all!
This means that Google is not properly picking up the menu linking structure for the site. My question: is there a way to repair this condition?

I've heard you can put the links inside a noframes tag and the search engine will pick them up without changing how your site looks. Haven't tried
it yet though.

webcrawlers don't know javascript so they can't reach to your menu_files/items.js file and interprete the text in it as web links. The reasonable
solution is to link each page of your website to the site map - the page which has links to all the pages of the site. This way bots will find all the
pages, also people with the limitations will benefit from this feature.

I have put my normal HTML anchor tags inside a <NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT> element which, I believe the WebBots will follow and will also
display meaningful links to users with JavaScript disabled browsers
