Improve your SEO with a Search Engine Friendly Side Menu - with pure CSS, no javascript or DHTML
Javascript and DHTML menus can stop search engines from finding your web pages. The only guaranteed way to make sure that search engines find all pages on your menu is to use standard hyperlinks.
Three different menus included - Full, Parent & child pages, and Child pages only.
The names say it all ... Use full menu to show a menu containing all pages, parent and child shows the parent page and all it's children, while child pages only will only show the child pages of the selected parent.
The "parent and child" and "child only" options both have an extra SEO friendly bonus - hide current page - since it doesnt make sense to have a link on a page that goes back to the same page, any website that has each page linking back to itself is risking its SEO. Hide current page avoids this problem completely.
Control the way the menu looks with CSS
Standard hyperlinks are pretty boring and dont make a very attractive menu - until you add CSS! With pure CSS we can easily have image rollovers, colour rollovers, different text styles per menu level and more! Five ready to use CSS files are included, plus full instructions on how to apply your own CSS.
Pictures:
1. Start with a simple menu list
2. Add level based indentation
3. Add an image rollover
... all done with 100% pure CSS!
Easy to Use, with convenient settings
~ Select menu display mode, full, parent & child, or child pages only.
~ Select the parent page (in full mode the parent is always your home page)
~ Select the text to show in the menu, page name, page title, or page description
~ Select the CSS file to use, different side menus on the same page can use different CSS files.
~ Choose reverse order to have newest pages shown first
~ Exclude text allows you to remove any predefined text from the menu item, this is very useful if you use branding in your page titles, eg "red widgets - www.yoursite.com". Exclude text allows you to have a side menu without the branding text shown.
The CSS is so easy to use - just select the desired CSS file from a dropdown list. Or if you are comfortable with CSS, you can create your own CSS files to display this menu any way you want. Instructions are included in the help file to let you know what styles to change to get different effects.
