Mark, web searches on "js graceful degradation" and related terms are getting me a lot of blog entries about *whether* to do it, but not much about *how*, can you offer a link that gives the basic howto of putting both kinds of links on the page? Thanks.

I like to back-load all my ajax on top of already working pages, so for
instance I might have:
http://www.example.com/news/

And clicking on a headline on that page with js disabled would go to
http://www.example.com/news/headline_with_underscores_or_whatever

But clicking on it with js enabled would just load the story dynamically.
Keeps everyone happy - including your visitors of the arachnid family.

Subject: [nyphp-talk] Friendly URL, Ajax, and SEO

Lately I'm wondering about best designs when balancing things like a friendly URL, Ajax, and SEO. It seems there are some contradictory indications.

First, friendly URLs are great if for no reason than log analysis. However, friendly URLs are supposedly better for SEO also (besides all the other stuff for SEO).

The rub is that I'd like to start moving over to AJAX for CMS-related stuff, such as loading a news article when the user clicks on a headline. But this seems like it make the site very search engine un-friendly. Anybody care to comment on the problem as a whole? Is it an either/or choice?
