Some of the complex navigation menus out there will not just confuse a bot - they're plenty confusing for humans too (I saw a fly-out menu with over 600 links and three levels of fly-out once - yikes). That said, there's been a lot of talk about those new directory-like menus that drop down and the links are organized into little directories. You can see them on Target.com. According to what I've read, they provide a good user-experience. Do you have any ideas on how to balance the user-friendliness of the menus with the need to make it less complicated for the bots? I see Target's using nofollows but apparently that doesn't work anymore (if it ever did). I love that you highlight simplicity of the navigation.
