    How does Google treat content that is created using AJAX? If Google's bot can't execute complex JavaScript does it mean that content loaded from AJAX wont be indexed?

    right. almost all javascript stuff does not really get recognized by google.

    some simple stuff works from what i gathered by my tests.

    e.g. a window.open(); link is seen by google. also links which are not clickable will get into google after some time.

    but with ajax it is hard.

    google might follow to xml/json resources but how it handles them....

    best is to stay with plain html, ajax is nice for webapps, but not for content sites.
