Search engine optimization with Milonic

I have used milonic on a county web site that I designed several years ago. I'm about to work on another web site and would like to use this type of menu system, however, for seo purposes, this menu tends to add a lot of javascript to each page it's used on.

My question is if there is a way to link the javascript menu to an external file so that the pages the search engine index will have a lot less code on them and more on-page text that is related to the actual site content.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know about that but you can set up the menu as a listbased menu which would put all the info as LI items. The list module reads the LI items and then uses the styles you set up to create the menu. The good thing about this is that if a site has js disabled the list menu is there.

That's a demo using the listbased with different styles and also as a popup menu. [the pop up is at the bottom]

There is also a sitemap and noscript builder that creates HTML on the fly based on your menu_data.js file.

You need PHP for this though - the files can be found inside /extras/php_sitemap/ folder in each download. Very easy to use, just specify which data file you want and the php script does the rest.

Cheers,
