    Hi

    Is it possible for me to get a top ranking google page when using the website builder Wix.?

    Ive spoken to a few people about it and they explained something to me and it went over my head. It was something to do with how the page works/indexes. Something to do with the page addressees .. below is an example

    home page theoverlanders.co.uk
    Another page theoverlanders.co.uk/#!gallery/cff9

    It was something to do with the 4 characters at the end and the #!

    any pointers?
    Thanks

    The bolded bit here is called a hashbang, which means that most of your site's content is contained within a JavaScript file. Google are getting better and better at reading JavaScript, and luckily for you hashbang URLs, if setup correctly, are designed to be Google friendly.

    See this for more info:
    https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started

    However, there appears to be indexation issues - as Google is not indexing many of your URls. This is a problem with using JavaScript/AJAX to contain your site's content.

    There are however over 300 pages that Google are indexing:
    site:theoverlanders.co.uk

    I personally don't see why a website needs to be setup in such a way and would avoid this method from an SEO point of view.
