Thank you all very much, so many replies and I apologies for not responding sooner. (Have moved home
) I think I have come up with a solution that takes most comments into account so thanks again for your help.
With regards a couple of points from Jenie and Peter about removing the marquee. I believe it to be a subjective issue and no doubt you are right, however, news programs use "marquees" and my intention is to let people know that inside we have up to date, diverse information. If people see lot's of events "tonight" wouldn't they automatically see that we are a dynamic and up to date site? That is my hope, it's a bit of a "this is what we do at a glance" attempt and it takes up such a small space.
Regarding other No-Follow comments, I actually do want google to follow these links if they can and index them therefore using javascript won't help I am told. (they are internal and not external links).
Regarding putting visitors first, I truly thought I was by showing them a snapshot of the information they can find inside.
Nayes84 and Bernd, there are already seperate pages inside for all this stuff. (your comments make me feel that I haven't made this obvious so will relook at that, thank you).
thindenim and fathima, good posts, never knew that
.
I want to help visitors, also, give licensees as much promotiopn as possible and have an aesthetically pleasing site whilst maximising
SEO opportunities. (don't we all). So with this in mind I feel that part of everyone's solution is the answer and I've implimented:
Reducing the number of Marquee links and made them appear random on all pages. (30 links max).
I will add NoFollow to less important pages.
Thanks again to all who answered.
