Thanks for clarifiying Terrence-i should have made my
example more accurate.
The url shceme is query based,
i saw a thread about that recently i will look it up.
So-should i use the <link> attribute as Charlie said
in addition to the redundant links? Or does the query based url throw a
wrench in the <link> attribute?
"..it could be hotels/county gives a better result in
navigation terms"
This makes sense but this particular site has a lot of
categories and sub categories, almost as many as counties...
thanks a million

That is quite different from the original sample supplied and it *does*
look the ideal candidate for a dropdown.
In my previous reply to you I meant to say don't use a drop down as your
*main* navigation device, but if it meant to winnow/filter a result set
(e.g. by geographical location, as suggested by the above sample) then
that does make sense and is typical use of a select dropdown.
Redundant links will solve your SEO problems, if you want the spiders to
index every page, but I suspect you have an IA problem. e.g. instead of
county/hotels, it could be hotels/county gives a better result in
navigation terms.
One more gotcha to think about, if your url scheme is query based (e.g.
index.asp?county=cork&thing=hotel) then the site may have problems being
indexed.
kind regards
Terrence Wood.
