Is it true that JavaScript is not SEO friendly?

OK, is it true that JavaScript is not SEO friendly? No, not exactly, but if you use JavaScript to redirect page or add new content the web site will not be indexed correctly by the search engines. What to do in this case? Be sure to have good navigation – the good old anchor tag with the relevant text in it. Even if you animate it later with JavaScript, it won’t be a problem. After that you can check your site navigation through text browsers like Lynx. Also create Google Site Map, it is a good practice even if you don’t have JavaScript content.
