Is Google now Experimenting with Interpreting JAVASCRIPT REDIRECTS in SERPs???

[! !]

Possibly the beginning of an algorithmic / reverse engineering experiment - or a database flaw :confused:

Google have a bot that has been runnning around for a few months that can read Java and parse URL's from it.

I can't wait for the intelligent bot to work out all the spamming going on using low level java redirects etc.

Gallina uses Gmail messages as blog entries, and the email service's message star to signify the publish status. Email replies to conversations are posted as comments to an entry. Because Gmail provides 1GB of email storage space for free, Hernandez' software makes that space available for the blog.

On his site, Hernandez said the software uses XML and XSLT -- a language to specify how to transform an XML document of one type to another document type. Anyone wanting to take advantage of Gallina would need to

it is too easy to make url unparseable. you can use nested write, encrypted write...

just wanted to precise that Google only parse some JavaScript scripts, not any Java code.

Google is looking for engineers with the programming skill to rewrite the world's information infrastructure. The Google Code Jam 2004 is one way we hope to find them. While we don't impose arbitrary deadlines on our engineers, we do put a premium on well-implemented code. And we appreciate the thought process required to create it. In fact, we appreciate clear thinking in all its forms, from puzzle solving to chess mastery (one of our interns was an International Grand Master).

Say it your way

Use Java, C++, C# or VB.NET. Pick any of these programming languages to code your solutions. All are acceptable and none is given an advantage.

To resurrect a 2 year old thread... Can / Does Google bots parse java now when it spiders a page? I want to use Java code to include some RSS feeds on a website so it updates dynamically. I know PHP would be better, byt Godaddy will not allow. Any updates on this topic?

No Googlebot mozilla can identify and retrieve links in java and flash, but that is the extent of it.

Get a new host.

Good Call :D

Matt Cutts would probably know - or could get a definite answer from another Google engineer.

By JAVA you are NOT talking about Javascript - correct?

Because there appears to be evidence from other blog posts that Google has advanced in interpreting and parsing JavaScript

No we are talking about javascript here. And while google has advanced (it now uses a Mozilla based spider rather than the lynx based text only spider), it still can not pass link benefit from javascript navigation. So while it 'might' be able to pull the url's from the javascript/flash files, it will NOT be able to build the site structure from itor pass link benefit through the links. In effect they will not be links at all. For this you need a standard href navigation.
