    The site has been there for a long time and been generating a great traffic. Plus they are linked to really quality sites. I would like to get some comment regarding the drop down menus on the left, whether they are spiderable or not, etc

    Yup considered that @sebastya. My main concern are the dropdown menus at the left. Id like to know whether they are spiderable or not. If not, any recommendations?

    oh yeah, not too sure about dropdown menus. I guess to be on the safe side you should change them.

    1) You should change the menu because it's pure javascript. Your goal is to have anchor tags within the html that point to those pages. This is what I came up with after a search on Google: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/chrome/index.htm
    Alternatively, you can simply add the links somewhere on the page and hide them from your visitors.

    2) The form here seems to be out of place both in IE and FF: http://www.artaria.com/OrderHistory.asp

    3) Emphasize on title tags as sebastya said. For example at http://www.artaria.com/SystemLink_Composer_1 you should actually add the composer's name to the title.

    I very much like the design. Good first impression (Very important IMO)

    Also, the javascript menu is not necessarily a bad thing. SEs can read it just fine

    I don't think so @Nima. when you search one link inside the drop down menu and query in google, it does not exist. is there anyone there who could give an advice as to what dropdown menu is best?

    Hi Tatiana,

    you may want to try SpiderSimulator and you'll see how search engine spiders view your site...and your drop down menus is included on your content...meaning it is spiderable...

    yup the texting on the drop down can be crawled by spiders, i'm not pretty sure about this but what spiders can’t crawl is the link or the page on every text on the drop down
