Website Marketing Tips #12 – Text Menus

Category: Optimizationadmin @ 7:46 am

Do you have a Graphics menu? With Javascript code? 

As a follow up from my previous post. Graphic image menus are attractive and can do well, but I feel a text based menu system using CSS does a little better. Why? Because a graphic image even with and Alt Tag, does not carry the same weight as a text based hyperlink in the eyes of the search engine algorithms.

Again, Javascript menus do not always get spidered, you must test them before releasing them on to the web. If you do have a graphic based menu, as useful strategy, I would add a text menu at the bottom of the web page. They are simple to setup and provide the hyperlinks in case the graphic based menu is not getting spidered.
