Can you give an example of a Web application, which relies on Javascript to function, which also has content that even _should_ be indexed but is hiding behind Ajax?
Does Google need to index Backpack or something?
- boucher 17y agoWell, that's where it gets tricky. Separating the content from the application usually isn't easy. 280 Slides the application doesn't need to be indexed. They don't need to know where the New button is. They don't need to know where the scrollers are. But shared presentations do need to be indexed. Fortunately, it's not all that difficult to construct the content in such a way that it can be indexed. We give out unique URLs for presentations which aren't # delimited, so we could actually serve the text content alongside the viewable presentation. We don't currently, but it would be a relatively easy change.
- coderdude 17y agoThanks, I was looking for clarification that what Google is really after is not the innards of the Web applications so much as the content that can be considered "standalonable."
