Does Google crawl AJAX content? [closed]

Answer 1

in the last month google has stopped to support ajax! https://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.fr/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html

Answer 2

No, it will not crawl AJAX content by default.

http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/ has instructions on how to make AJAX content crawlable, but those are explicit steps you need to take, it isn't automatic

Answer 3

Google is definitely crawling content in our page that is only referenced within an AJAX request.

I'm wondering if Google is going through the page source, and looking for potentially valid URLs, and testing to see if they've got content.

Here is what our request looks like... which might offer some insight into what's going on.

'$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#theDiv").block({ message: 'Getting latest content...' });
    $.ajax({
        url: '/content/pages/articles?count=4&part=true',
        success: function(data) {
            $('#theDiv').html(data);
            $("#theDiv").unblock();
        }
    });
});`

Google now has a way for you to enable crawling on AJAX pages. If your links contain "#!", then google will change that to "?_escaped_fragment_=" and request that document from your server. However, when it shows that page in the search results, it will show the original URL with the "#!".

Google itself doesn't crawl AJAX content, but it proposed a scheme to make AJAX content crawl. I wrote a an article to explain that how it works. It also includes very simple code to demonstrate Google Crawling Scheme for AJAX content. Find it here: http://www.tayyabali.com/seo-ajax-content-asp-net-code-to-crawl-ajax

For Ruby users there is a gem which handles this relatively painlessly.... google_ajax_crawler Github repo here, writeup about using it for backbonejs at thecodeabode
