If you’re trying to hide links or content from Google, maybe to speed load time, or hide affiliate links (if you’re in the camp that thinks Google may devalue sites with a lot of affiliate links), then I guess you could try that route.

The point of this article was to say that standard Javascript implementations (for a navigation perhaps) that many SEOs still freak out about, may not be worth the “freak out” anymore. But you raise a good question here. I would imagine Google would want to learn to crawl it though, so it can get a better idea of what’s really going on in the site.

script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://script.js”>

and in script.js I have this:

document.write(‘a href=http://www.myblog.com/>super keyword‘);

Will Google be able to *read* this link?
