Similar pages because of large menus...

    Hiya,

    My site has a top menu with over 100 items in it and a side navigation with another 20 or so links. The content area is where pictures and comments show. This is the only part that is different on each page.

    The problem is that this way, the pages look very similar even though each page has different images, descriptions and comments. The biggest part of the html code are still the menus, which makes the pages 70% similar according to some similar page testtool.

    How to avoid this? Is there any way to tell the SE crawlers that the menus are on all pages and should not really count. But also, not exclude the menus from crawling because the spider still has to be able to reach all pages ofcourse.

    Any ideas on this matter?

    Regards
