SEO & Responsive sites: is two idential menus ok?
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2014 4:14 am
We are looking at revamping a site, away from www and m., to just one responsive web site. However because of the design of the site, we are looking at doing the main menu and submenus twice.
So on Desktop it appears on the left, but on the mobile version, that would be display:none and the mobile version would be shown.
Is this bad?
Does Google see two menus?
Is Google bothered?
Also I hear that Javascript dropdowns are bad for SEO - is there a CSS only method that Google can see? As I am thinking that dropdowns only really work on Hover, effectively, and Bots won't be able to "hover".
