While search engines are poor at reading frames, JavaScript, and Flash, these elements still can be successfully incorporated into your site. The key will also be to incorporate an alternative that search engines will like. For example, you may want a JavaScript navigation bar with drop down menus. Most users will like your fancy navigation bar. However, you could also have a “site map” page with plain old HTML links to all of your pages to make sure that search engines get to them. Additionally, dynamic pages with advanced code such as PHP or ASP may have limited readability by search engines.
