Navigation menu and cloaking
-
Hi,
I'm building a tabbed navigation menu in which lots of sub-menu items are hidden with css until I mouse over a top level item.
Is there any way this could be considered cloaking by google?
Cheers

Fortunately, I think this is not cloaking. But you could look at this situation from a different perspective, such as: Usability. "Billions" of tabbed menu can "hurt" usability. So, Oleg was right. You CAN think of rebuilding the menu structure as:
- Main Menu -
Sub Menu - Sub Menu - Sub Menu - Sub Menu (And to O. ..)From my point of view I would go on this version as:
1 - Can I set different menu anchors
2 - Can choose to link titles (Mouse Over)
Will this help a bit internal linking structure.Yours,
Mike. -
No, you're fine.
It is usually best to keep the number of links on a page low so that you can direct users down a specific conversion funnel. However, this varies from site to site so it may be better to make many sub-navigation options.

Your thoughts on page navigation
Hi again SEOmoz community. What are your thoughts on mainpage navigation. How it should be handled? Scenario 1. - links to the main sections with a mouse rollover feature where it shows subsections of the main sections Scenario 2. - links to the main sections, but the subsections are hidden and only visible on the click Scenario 3. links to the main sections and subsections allways visible I would like to hear you oppinions on this. What did you find as the best featrue, or did you try to find someting new entirely. What do you think would be the best scenario SEO wise and in the light of keeping links on page in decent numbers 🙂 Imo, Scenario 2 is the option to go with. Tnx in advance for all your replys. Sincerely, sinisa

Status of Ajax and SEO? Changing navigation from plain HTML to AJAX.
We will change an old school HTML drop down navigation for an AJAX drop down one. What's your experience in regards to Google indexing AJAX? I know that Google is now able to read more stuff than in the past, but I need some stories "from the trenches" if you're willing to share. Thanks in advance.

Where does link juice flow on a cloaked link?
Hello, I use a wordpress plug in that allows me to display tot he user any link I want from my domain, so it might be like: www.domain.com/gift-card, but the actual link is www.someaffiliatelink/w09fjai;owfoienw <--- and then a bunch of crap after the domain for the affiliate link. It uses the common technique of an iframe to hide the actual url from the user and show the one that I want them to see. What I am wondering is, does link juice in this case flow to my site, or to their site? And also, do you have any comments regarding this type of link cloaking? Thanks. Thanks
