search engine and ajax

[albert.sole]

Hi to all,
I am developing a web page with the following architecture:
- All calls are made in Ajax from JavaScript.
- All the content is dynamic.
- Server responds with XML, that some javascript parse and load
into the main page.

I know that this is not search engine friendly because they can't
access any information about the page, because information is loaded
dynamically.

I thought of implementing a kind of parallel web page, with all the
information the database contains, coded in plain html. The main
problem is that this content will be ugly, and I don't the users see
that pages.

Any idea?

Hi,

The site will still get indexed, the bots that index see the page as a user would so the content will still be crawled.

Do make sure that the title tag can be changed for each dynamic page, maybe pull the title info from your sql db.

I think Find Jobs. Build a Better Career. Find Your Calling. | Monster.co.uk uses asp.net with ajax as its a job site, with alot of data so only fires functions when requested.

Maybe you can drill down on that site.

Also if your site is already indexed in Google type site:yourURL and it should give you a list of all the pages index.

hope this helps dude.
