1. This page has JavaScript! It doesn't matter for which purposes you use JavaScript, e.g. drop-down menus, put it at the end of HTML Body or place into a separate file, e.g. menu.js. This will move the important content closer to the beginning of this page and improve its keyword prominence.

this is the message I get from my SEO tool I don't know what a menu.js is how do I build one?

it's just a text file with a .js extension instead of .txt

So what they're saying is, if you have this on your page:

<script>

function blahblah() {

... whatever ...

</script>

cut that all out of your html pages and place it instead in external .js files, then reference those. it will clean up your pages and make updates to multiple pages dramatically easier.

To do this, simply create open a new page in Notepad, or whatever you use, and include all of the javascript, but delete the <script language=javascript>and </script> tags from it. Then save it as "Filename.js" .

Once you have done that, simply place the following code into the <head> section...

<script src="location/filename.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Do this for all of them, it makes life easy!!

Good Luck,

but putting the script on the page is what made the message come up. sowhat you are telling me is to put all of my script on text page give it js. extension then place this script backin html? let me know if this is correct because I couldn't fint the correct script to read the js.
