flyout menu's and SEO

Post by motorcitysoccer » Tue Apr 17, 2012 9:33 am

I have just started moving our site from CPOnline cart to Able and also new to .net I have read every post regarding flyouts and looked at many sites to see how it is handled. I definitely want our site to have flyouts but do not want to sacrifice SEO for it. I am also concerned with Able updates and do not want to have to make a lot of changes every time we update. What is everyone opinion on the best way to implement flyouts?

Populate a set of list items with the root categories. and inside of these list items, use another set of list items populated by the subcategories. Then use CSS to style and JavaScript to add the flyout functionality.

example:

Code: Select all

<ul>
    <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> root </a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> sub cat </a></li>
            <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> sub cat </a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> root </a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> sub cat </a></li>
            <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> sub cat </a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="actualLinklocation.aspx"> root </a></li>
</ul>
This is the best way to have a flyout menu and keep SEO.
