(Hope I placed this in the right section of the forum)

I have read that placing links (for a nav bar for instance) in an include file does not cause spidering issues for the pages that will use the common links. (Is that true?)

When I look at an example page using lynx I do not see the links from the server side include. I expected to see them there since I have been led to believe that using a text based browser is a good way to "see" the page like a bot.

Can someone straighten me out?

Best regards,

Robert
