Examples of e-commerce sites using ajax faceted navigation?
-
Does anyone have examples of e-commerce sites successfully using ajax to power faceted navigation?
-
I was really looking for examples but thanks for the response anyway.

By successfully I mean using it and getting everything crawled properly.

I have often thought of the same idea of hinding the ajax faceted nav, and haveing a SE friendly alternitive, but then you have the problem of the wrong pages geting ranking, people will come to the site though your static pages missing you elegant UI.
Another thing is, that things do not stay the same, and you now have baggage to carry forward.
If you have the time and the passion to keep it up that great, but I like to make my life simple.
I have hundreds of Visual Studio projects repersenting great inspirational ideas, that never got finished.
What platform do you develop in by the way.
I have come to love ASP.MVC -
Disclaimer: The site I'm referencing is not live yet, but may be relevant to this question.
Welcome to my favorite SEO topic of 2011. I'm about 60-90 days out from debuting an SEO-friendly/AJAX faceted navigated ecommerce site and it has been a wild ride. After doing some technical wheelies and wiping out due to unsuspected gusts of wind (sorry for being overly metaphorical), I ended up crafting a hybrid site that doesn't attempt to give the spiders access to AJAX. Instead, we have a standard text-link navigational structure (for SEO) that is visually de-emphasized.. with AJAX as the emphasized interface (for UI). If you succeed in an AJAX interface that offers SEO-control, I would like a spot in your dojo, sensei.
Again, if this question wasn't meant to aid you in development and you just want some examples, my apologies.

Not off hand, but what do you mean by successfully?
You mean it works well, or successfully in terms of SEO, i can do the first for you, but the latter is real challenging, I often go to sleep thinking of this problem.In a intranet or authenticated admin site this works well, looks good, and gives a good user exsprience, but on a public facing website, plain of html works best for SEO.

Thoughts on our Agency Site
Hi all, We'd all welcome opinions on our digital agency site http://www.newbrandvision.com/. We are in the planning stage of launching a new site; and we'd welcome any UX or SEO thoughts. It's a strange one but our agency has been around since 2002, and we operate in the heart of London; however we don't rank anywhere near the first page for "digital agency in London" or any long-tail /semantics around this. We feel that it's pretty clear from search and when landing on the site what we are; but would welcome any general thoughts as to why we aren't ranked that highly. Much appreciated!

Does Google penalise for alot of advertising on your site?
I look after the search side of a decorating website on which we carry a large amount of advertising from external brands as that is our business model. Do you know if we would get penalised for having too much advertising - would it be deemed to affect the user experience? Many thanks for your help on this.

Using More Info javascript:toggleDisplay tag for More info text
Is there any harm in using javascript so a user can "toggle" open or closed additional text on a website? For example, if a user wants to read more about something, they can click on "More Info" and the text would then appear. Google is able to read the text, because I chose a random 8 word section of the text within the More Info and pasted it into a Google Search and the website showed up in search results. Just wondering if using this technique would have any negative impact. Here's what the code would look like:

<a <span="">title</a><a <span="">="Show Tables" href="</a><a class=" " target="_blank">javascript:toggleDisplay('table1')</a>">More Info style="display: none;" id="table1"> this is where the text would be, and from this section was where I grabbed text to search with in google. Then in the footer, here is the script needed so the more info will work: I am by no means an expert in coding/html/javascript. Thanks!0 -
Migrating a site to Wordpress
I've recently been converting our old website to a wordpress based website and been working on the new version of the site on a subdomain. Now at the stage when I am getting ready to let the site go live and just wondering exactly how to do this so I have minimal downtime? Looking in the wordpress control panel there is the setting to enter the address of the site if you want it to be different from the directory it has been installed within - is this a good idea (i.e. is it stable if I do this? good for seo, bad for seo or makes no difference?)? or should I manually install everything in the root myself (if I do this is there a way to direct people to the temp version of the site on the subdomain? Any tips, do and don't s would be appreciated as I want to do this right!

Will launching this site get my E-commerce site penalized?
Hello.. I am wondering if you guys think launching a site like this is a good or a bad idea. All of the links on it go directly to the exact corresponding page on the ecommerce site. Do you think Google will penalize my site for launching sites (i have many other domains that i will be setting up similar to this) like this? Thanks...

http://www.worldwideproperty.in/property-details.php?lang=14&pId=14659 Would it be best to push buypropertyanywhere as the main site and left the others drop or to develop buypropertyanywhere with each country as a mini site within it and use the existing urls for example www.housesalesbulgaria.com and 301s to direct back to the mini site ie www.buypropertyanywhere.com/bulgaria.

Correct use for Robots.txt
I'm in the process of building a website and am experimenting with some new pages. I don't want search engines to begin crawling the site yet. I would like to add the Robot.txt on my pages that I don't want them to crawl. If I do this, can I remove it later and get them to crawl those pages?
