Does ajax decreases SEO ranks??

my website is using ajax.
its not yet started,
but i wanted to know ,
will it decrease my PR and SEO rank on google??
with ajax , nothing reloads , everything loads on same page.
please give me suggestions.

 

Depends on how you link to the AJAX.

Spiders DO have difficulty in following AJAX. Maybe they won't in the future, but for now, it's hard (but not impossible, just extremely hard) for them to crawl your site.

If you want to use AJAX, use sitemap.xml extensively (for each and every part of the small AJAX page). Or you won't find your pages indexed.

 

it is said so that it restricts spiders to crawl rest lets explore...

 

Umm AJAX is a backend application which can change the appearance of the page without refreshing the page..

Cralwers can only read the HTML published part of the page thts available in the view source.. So as far as AJAX code is able to maintain that, Google bot will read the code available there when ever it comes over for a crawl..

Shoudnt hamper with things as such, IMO..

 

AJAX is NOT supported by search engines
Search engines do not run javascript
Often, content will not be indexed
Especially true with navigation – stop indexing

 

i dont think ajax will decrease your serp.

you must optimize your site like normal sites

 

Hey there,

If anything I would use AJAX to enhance a website. I would not make a website depend on AJAX to navigate.

Let me give you an example:

http://www.lukebouman.com/viewProperty.cfm?propertyID=95854

Do you see the "View Map" link? Click on that.

In this case, AJAX enhances the property details page.

Now, adjust your browser settings so javascript is disabled. That would take you to the following page:

http://www.lukebouman.com/map.cfm?propertyID=95854

Now, how would search engines respond to this?

Well, they do not use javascript, so it would be able to crawl it.

Nevertheless, I still submitted all map.cfm paths in my sitemap.

Its better to be safe than sorry

Sincerely,
Travis Walters

 

hey what is sitemap ? how to do it ?
someone suggested me to do this.
ajax link of home = http://..../index.html#home
he said if se will crawl the link , the ajax link wont work , instead it will redirect it to http://..../index.html#home .
that is just an example.
and i am working on it.
i wanted to know what is sitemap.
if someone could tell me , i would really appreciate it.

 

Try sitemap.org

 

Best choise would be to build another links system, based on traditional html, so users with javascript disabled or crawlers could reach wanted page

 

or how about have the sitemap page in HTML?

 

no i have in xml format.
