Hey friend! Have fun exploring Q&A, but in order to ask your own questions, comment, or give thumbs up, you need to be logged in to your Moz Pro account. You can also earn access by receiving 500 MozPoints from participating in YouMoz and the Moz Blog!
The question is realted to our SEOmoz PRO campaign www.Netmovers.co.uk. We are currently in the process redoing our website along with URL structural changes.
One of things we are looking to implement is using Ajax friendly URL's that include the #! within the URL. So our new URL structure would be something like this;
The tech team have implemented all of the elements as per Google guidelines from; http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html.
We have not seem many times implement such URL structure; besides facebook and Twiitter. Howvere; they use them only when you are signed in to your account.
There are couple of question;
1. Is it advisable to follow such URL structure from search engine point of view?
2. Have you had any experience working with such URL and highlight their pros and cons?
3. Does Bing index such URL's?
4. Can we have them as canonical tags? eg: http://www.netmovers.co.uk/property-for-sale/search/london/hillingdon/london-heathrow-airport/#!/radius-1/type-1
I would love Rand's input on this one as it's a very crucial part of the startegy for the website. Also a useful whiteboard Friday topic for SEOmoz.
