Hi Carla,

There might be a trick but I am not aware of one. You see I don't look for "tricks" when it comes to SEO. If you try to game Google all that happens is you are building your SEO on shakey foundations.

You are far better off building quality content with a search engine friendly menu structure. Keep it simple.

The real benefits will be in the links you get back to your website and good quality content will always attract good links.

Cheers

Hi KkSmarts,

Somebody told me about a trick to get Javascript benefits and SEO benefits. I think there is some way to embed the HTML links within the javascript. Have you heard anything about this?

thanks
