Drop Down Box Linking

[retired_member6]

Silly question maybe, is there any weight given to links to external sites in drop down boxes?

I should think so Lee, as long as it wasn't a Javascript drop down menu/box.

Ah haha well it is, so that's that line of thinking gone.

Actually, even HTML dropdowns are not spiderable by the search engines.

I've tested this before and the pages within the dropdown will not get indexed unless linked to from elsewhere...
