AJAX & SEO
Hi guys, I want to develop a content site using AJAX and DHTML but my concern is SEO since the actual content won't be in the source of the page. Any thoughts on this issue? Is this a good idea to develop a content site using AJAX?
Thanks |

You should design your site so it's usable without JS. You should do that for accessibility, then the SEO benefits happen to be a side-effect.

What purpose would you be using XMLHttpRequests for?

Well I was thinking to get the content among other things. Then if I have a big article, the user can do "next page" without reloading the page...

The percentage of people who have JS disabled is so low to begin with ti's pointless and a waste of time. |

The search engines can't execute JavaScript, and therefore won't be able to view things correctly. Design it to work without JS and you'll have no problems with the search engines, OR accessibility.

Although accessibility and SEO is an issue with script and the clever things Web2 will bring to the world, there are always solutions. Two articles worth a look to solve the most fundamental issues are:
AJAX and SEO AJAX and Accessibility Ps. Old post I know but it's how I found this forum ![]() |
