1. Not really true nowadays. Google can trawl Javascript sites. Other search engines may be able to as well.
People have been saying this for a long time, but as of 6 months ago my experience didn't support it (Javascript sites get indexed, but not ranked as well as traditional sites). I haven't tried recently--does anyone have up-to-date information about the effect of client-rendered sites on SEO?
- kaolinite 13y agoThere's a guide here: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling If you use a client-side MVC framework, e.g. Ember, it should work out of the box.
- ds_ 13y agoI don't think it will, ideally you need to recognise _escaped_fragment_ requests at the server level and respond appropriately.
- ds_ 13y agoIt would depend how you're serving the static pages. How did you do a fair comparison of a non-ajax/ajax site?
