An informal case study shows better search engine placement for standard text links instead of image based navigation. This mimics my own experience, where my clients with CSS text menus perform better than graphical site design.

The only change so far was to switch this setup to CSS styled text menus (links in list elements)... the look is so close to the original that no end user or affiliate has yet commented on the change. Some of the business staff haven't even noticed...with the [recent] Google changes, our new rankings went up about 45 positions. The power of anchor text on the main navigation turned out to be BIG.
