SEO for Global Navigations

[Romancing]

I did my first SEO audit from the book SEO Secrets by Danny Dover on my new website at http://melo4.melotec.com:4010/

In the book he says to disable Javascript and see if the global navigation still works. So when I did that the dropdown menus in my navigation don't show. I'm assuming this is a problem but when I check the cache text only version of the site, the dropdowns are in the text only version.

Are their any experienced SEO's out their who can weigh in on this issue?

Should I have my developer redo the navigation without any javascript?

Thanks,

Shawn

No problem with that nav. It's all good. Javascript navigation is a problem if the menu items are contained in javascript. In this case javascript is just acting on the menu items. You should be just fine. For fun, test it on a mobile device and see if it works okay there.

I accidentally deleted the response to Chris' post. I edited the formatting of Chris' response so we could read it without as much scrolling, then there were four duplicate responses showing. I deleted one, and they all disappeared. I'm so sorry. Could you please repost?

How did you do that?

I'm an associate for SEOmoz (a contractor), which means I can edit posts and delete duplicate responses. I rarely edit posts, and do so just for clarity of viewing.

Thank you for the insight Chris. Yes I see that it works on mobile devices and iPads.

When you do an SEO Audit for the navigation, is it best to just look at the code as opposed to the way prescribed in SEO Secrets (disable java and view the website)?

Thanks,

Shawn
