Looks like Googlebot will soon be able to understand JavaScript soon... At least that's what GoogleGuy over and WMW mentioned...

Well from what it sounds like, they are going to go further... instead of simple JS links, it will understand JavaScript completely...

Hmm..... again!!!
Shawn what do you think the biggest implication of this is? :confused:
Since the discovery of the JS redirect problem with Google I have been taking them off on those places where I was being lazy - with immediate return results. But I don't use it much elsewhere - only associated with php etc.....so?.....thoughts...

Not sure to be honest... but if you are doing "sneaky" things (as far as Google is concerned) with JavaScript, they probably won't work any longer (once they deploy the new bot).

With all that excessive computational capacity, Google can index almost any web technology that exists. No question about that.

anyways, it's interesting to hear about googlebot understanding javascript (btw, I guess google is already doing it to certain extent)
