Does search spider simulators see your menus?

I am very interested in buying your product, but how can I be sure that search engines can really see your menus?  I have used search engine spider simulators to look at some of the sites listed at http://f-source.com/support/menu-users.htm, but the search engine simulators do not appear to see the menu items.  This is very important to me.  Do you have a list of search engine simulators web sites that can index your menus?

Thank you,
Dave Kinskey



Answer:



Hi Dave,
some webmasters use XML instead of HTML links,
XML is not SEO friendly!

For instance, in our list:
http://www.toontrack.com/ - XML
http://www.quantunet.com/ - XML
https://timelessinvitations.com/ - HTML
http://www.vals-plumbing.com/ - XML
http://www.kelvinbaggs.com/ - HTML


I recommend to install Lynx browser, to view how search spiders index websites.
Or use some lynx browser simulator, like this:
