Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

I've been reading the "Making AJAX Applications Crawlable" specs (http://code.google.com/intl/sv-SE/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting- started.html) and I'm at a loss at how to apply this to my application. I use jQuery to load an HTML page fragment into a DOM element on a mostly pure HTML page. It ta

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

You might use in your html page, and when the crawler requests the corresponding _escaped_fragment_= URL, you'll have a version without jQuery, where you load the results page fragment into the static HTML and return that. Depending on what your server looks like, it first has to recognize that i

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

So, if I understand you right, it should work like this?: 1) I put in my static page (ie my example: http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/) 2) Google will see it, then request http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/?_escaped_fragment_= 3) When my webserver sees _escaped_fragm

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

Thanks so much for your help Kathrin! :) However, I've tried these steps and Googlebot is still giving me no love. If you go to http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/ you can see I've placed the meta tag in the header. Then if you go to http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

Hi Dusty, what URL did you enter in "Fetch as Googlebot"? It should work for http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/?_escaped_fragment_= (or for http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/#!, but that doesn't rea

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

I asked it to fetch http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/ If I ask it to fetch either: http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/#! http://friendorfollow.com/dustyreagan/following/?_escaped_fragment_= It works correctly. Shouldn't it also work for the plain URL? http://friendor

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

Hi Dusty, I noticed the same thing when testing the Ajax crawlability for my website: Googlebot didn't return me the static page if I run 'fetch as googlebot' for http://www.bookwhack.com/us/ But it works fine for http://www.bookwhack.com/us/?_escaped_fragment_= However, I can see in webmaster t

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

Hi guys, I see your point - it's a bit confusing that Fetch as Googlebot only "works" with the _escaped_fragment_, but arguably it's also "more correct" this way (plus it lets you see the difference between the two versions). I will pass along the feedback. Meanwhile, I'm glad it seems to have w

Re: Crawlable AJAX - jQuery Load

Brilliant! :) I trust it's working. I'll give it some time and check Google's cache on my pages in a few weeks. Thanks Kathrin and R for your help! I really appreciate it! :) On Apr 20, 7:42 am, Katharina Probst wrote: > Hi guys, > > I see your point - it's a bit confusing that Fetch as Google
