A Question Regarding Javascript/Ajax and SEO?

[Mike M]

We are planning on upgrading our site to be largely dependant on Ajax to make the site more functional and easier to use, however I am concerned that since search engines are our primary source of traffic that using Ajax could hinder their indexing of our site. We have an article directory that has about 80000 articles, and need the search engines to be able to fully index it without any trouble.Is there a reliable way to provide the search engines and also visitors without javascript a version of the page without javascript and everyone else an ajax powered page? If so could some one provide an example of how to choose which version to give them or point me in the right direction to figure out how to do it?Thanks,Mike

You can use tag to provide the search engines a version of the page without javascript.The noscript element is used to define an alternate content if a script is not executed.Alternatively, you can create a site map with links to your articles. Make sure to split it to subpages, so that each sub page has less than 100 links (recommended by Google).
