Google and Your JavaScript: Good News and Reality
May 12, 2015
If you want to keep Mother Google happy, you want to feed her content which is mobile friendly, meets her rules for her children, and delivers bang up information to her many minions.
I read “We Tested How Googlebot Crawls Javascript And Here’s What We Learned.” You may want to check out the SEO oriented write up if you wonder why no one visits your Web site. (Tip: Most Web sites do not get much traffic. Traffic is often helped out by buying Adwords. Remember. You heard this from me. Oh, prepare to invest substantial sums for maximum payback. SEO is usually less efficacious.)
The article explains a series of tests to reveal how Mother Google interprets and makes use of JavaScript. I found this passage highlight worthy:
Javascript links work in a similar manner to plain HTML links (at face value, we do not know what’s happening behind the scenes in the algorithms).
JavaScript away. Just remember that Adwords deliver traffic. SEO is usually a somewhat less reliable method. But those SEO experts do charge money. So make your own decision. Adwords which work. SEO methods which are at best uneven.
