    I'm not making the claim that AJAX will replace html, but for argument's sake, what does that mean for SEO and those in the SEO industry?

    The search engines will perhaps get better at reading javascript and ajax and we'll all have to learn new techniques.

    It just seems like a massive paradigm shift, and I'm trying to get my head around the idea. Do you all think that this is a possibility - that AJAX will take the place of HTML as the foundation of the web?

    Because ajax uses javascript to process, and html to output in a webpage, so it will anyway need html. Although you will see more and more of ajax based stuff getting developed in future. But I don't think it will become a base for browsers to display or render webpages.
    Bye :)

    I think AJAX is more of a gimmick than anything else. I have found only a couple of genuine business benefits of using it.

    Will never be standard as the output depends on the client's browser etc and will therefore never be useable to everybody, IMO.

    A gimmick indeed...
