Re: Rialto Browser UI framework

It is indeed. Probably not to the extent it once was, but you have to have
somewhat of an SEO friendly site if you want to get a good page rank. If you
are building applications that don't need to be found, there is nothing to
worry about.

There are things that help like sitemaps.xml, but anything rendered with
JavaScript the indexers will not find. For example look at the source for
you GMail. It's all JavaScript, I believe written in GWT but I'm not 100%
sure on that. Anyway, that is what a crawler/bot would see. There is no HTML
to render so it wouldn't index anything.

Another thing to keep in mind, especially with AJAX, is bookmarking. You
have to have some kind of parametrized URL's or use some kind of URL
rewriting in order to properly bookmark it.

Is SEO much of a concern anymore? I have heard several respected
marketers/tech people say that SEO isn't as important anymore. You still
have some basic requirements, like a human readable URL, good descriptive
links, etc.

Yes, it's not really my forte either. I am however about to venture on a
project to create a SEO consumer based site. I will gladly let you know

I learn and if I can find a way to contribute anything I will.

SEO is definitely on my radar but not at the top of *my* priority list.

I

am hoping somebody else will pipe in and take that on. But I agree,

for

some businesses it will be a necessity to have a search engine friendly
site
that allows the searching of products and descriptions.

There is A LOT of science that goes into dynamic SEO pages, so maybe
somebody with more experience in that will eventually pipe in.
