Hi there ... per example in this website (which is NOT mine) http://fvx.com .... in the left menu "GLITTERS GRAPHICS" the four first sections (those that have a "+") open sub-menus with javascript. Until here everythins is ok but my question is... are the links on the sub-menus "counted / followd" by google bots? do they count as if they were always visible? any help apreciated .
I do not know a whole lot about googles crawling algorithm but I would imagine the answer to be YES, it would follow the links. I use a text only web browser to load my pages while im developing a page. By using a text only web browser you can see pretty much exactly what the crawler see's. Lynx is the best text only web browser in my opinion.
