Default Re: Are my menu systems hurting my rankings.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with including a noscript menu if you have a javascript menu on your site.

This has worked for us for years and I have seen Google mention that it's perfectly OK to use noscript menus if you want to use javascript menus.

Search engines are just happy to be given the chance to see the links that they otherwise wouldn't be able to read.

However, after looking at your site I see there are noscript tags at quite a few locations and this does look spammy and intended to fool the SE's. Might be an idea to remove them all as the home page contains many links already and because of that you don't actually need a noscript menu.

The best method is "JavaScript Menu" - "Noscript Menu" - "few links dotted around the page". Keep it simple and concise.

HTH,
Andy
