Can I build my navigation and links with Flash, Macromedia and Java Applets?

Flash, Shockwave, and Java Applets have something in common: They all require the user to have a special program installed on their computer to open and play the files. Most new browsers come with the necessary programs installed to play the most common file types. However, search engine spiders usually do not open such files.

We recommend that you do not build your navigation links using any of these techniques. If you do, you should only serve the high-tech version of your web site to users that have the right plug-ins installed, and have a low-tech version ready for all other users. The low-tech version should include regular text-based links. This will work well with the search engine spiders as well as the users that do not have these plug-ins installed.
