Can you go into more details?
Making your web server respond back with server rendered templates if it detects a bot user-agent instead of serving back json normally isn't really what I would consider a solution.
It's a solution in the sense that you can satisfy both search engines and users but it requires the developer to code basically 1.5 web sites instead of 1 (it's not really double the work but it's certainly more work than just wiring up some routes that spit back json).
- orangethirty 14y agoI cannot go into technical details because that is a solution I worked out for Nuuton. Though it is possible by using a helper bot. The crawler does not do the job itself, but gets the data passed to it by another bot. I don't want to sound dickish, but I can't really give you much technical details. Sorry.
- rartichoke 14y agoSounds like it's not solved. Don't you think Google would be happily crawling javascript sites without the developer having to do anything special? I don't know what Nuuton is but from the looks of the home page it seems to be some random no name search engine that isn't even released. I wouldn't really call that solved, considering most end users are using Google, Bing or Yahoo.
