Was reading some stuff on how Ajax can pull down your Search Engine rankings. More than the rankings , its the change in Page View model that adds a lot of confusion to Web Marketers. Tools like Google Analytics might help to a certain extent for tracking AJAXified sites.

Many big guys are using an smart alternate strategy to display the content using AJAX for supported browsers and in Native form (pages ) to non ajax browsers / spiders.

How are Search engines going to work in 2007 ?

Things might not change much , but just get the basics right.

• Quality of links matters ,not quantity - this has been there since the beginning but from now on more importance will be given to quality of links
• Avoid 302 Redirects completely - Matt Cutts had pointed out that this can get your site / page of the listings if you use 302s
• Be careful about link exchanges
• Refrain from link spam
• Get links from relevant sites
• Focus more on semantic content,usability - let the javascript menus die. AJAX enabled websites might suffer on this front as they are heavy on javascript.
• Session IDs are a strict no, get rid of them (Why use sessions on public pages ? )
