Try to avoid Java script menu and Java script code - When you use JavaScript on a site's navigation scheme, the scripts can greatly decrease the "crawlability" of the links. Currently, most search engines will not follow the links embedded inside of JavaScript code

Meta Tag Optimization META tags are consisting of Title, Description and Keywords and other instruction tags for spiders. It stores relevant information about your web site. This tag has limited space to write down the keywords.
