Back then, our systems were not able to render and understand pages that use JavaScript to present content to users. Because "<a href="https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more">crawlers … [were] not able to see any content … created dynamically</a>," we proposed a set of practices that webmasters can follow in order to ensure that their AJAX-based applications are indexed by search engines.</p> <p>Times have changed. Today, as long as you're not blocking Googlebot from crawling your JavaScript or CSS files, we are generally able to <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/05/understanding-web-pages-better.html">render and understand your web pages like modern browsers</a>. To reflect this improvement, we recently <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/10/updating-our-technical-webmaster.html">updated our technical Webmaster Guidelines</a> to recommend against disallowing Googlebot from crawling your site's CSS or JS files. </p> <p>Since the assumptions for our 2009 proposal are no longer valid, we recommend following the principles of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement">progressive enhancement</a>. For example, you can use the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API">History API pushState()</a> to ensure accessibility for a wider range of browsers (and our systems).</p> <p><b>Questions and answers</b></p> <p>Q: My site currently follows your recommendation and supports _escaped_fragment_. Would my site stop getting indexed now that you've deprecated your recommendation? <br>A: No, the site would still be indexed. In general, however, we recommend you implement industry best practices when you're making the next update for your site. Instead of the _escaped_fragment_ URLs, we'll generally crawl, render, and index the #! URLs.</p> <p>Q: Is moving away from the AJAX crawling proposal to industry best practices considered a site move? Do I need to implement redirects? <br>A: If your current setup is working fine, you should not have to immediately change anything. If you're building a new site or restructuring an already existing site, simply avoid introducing _escaped_fragment_ urls. .</p> <p>Q: I use a JavaScript framework and my webserver serves a pre-rendered page. Is that still ok? <br>A: In general, websites shouldn't pre-render pages only for Google -- we expect that you might pre-render pages for performance benefits for users and that you would follow progressive enhancement guidelines. If you pre-render pages, make sure that the content served to Googlebot matches the user's experience, both how it looks and how it interacts.

Because "<a href="https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more">crawlers … [were] not able to see any content … created dynamically</a>," we proposed a set of practices that webmasters can follow in order to ensure that their AJAX-based applications are indexed by search engines.</p> <p>Times have changed. Today, as long as you're not blocking Googlebot from crawling your JavaScript or CSS files, we are generally able to <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/05/understanding-web-pages-better.html">render and understand your web pages like modern browsers</a>. To reflect this improvement, we recently <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/10/updating-our-technical-webmaster.html">updated our technical Webmaster Guidelines</a> to recommend against disallowing Googlebot from crawling your site's CSS or JS files. </p> <p>Since the assumptions for our 2009 proposal are no longer valid, we recommend following the principles of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement">progressive enhancement</a>. For example, you can use the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API">History API pushState()</a> to ensure accessibility for a wider range of browsers (and our systems).</p> <p><b>Questions and answers</b></p> <p>Q: My site currently follows your recommendation and supports _escaped_fragment_. Would my site stop getting indexed now that you've deprecated your recommendation? <br>A: No, the site would still be indexed. In general, however, we recommend you implement industry best practices when you're making the next update for your site. Instead of the _escaped_fragment_ URLs, we'll generally crawl, render, and index the #! URLs.</p> <p>Q: Is moving away from the AJAX crawling proposal to industry best practices considered a site move? Do I need to implement redirects? <br>A: If your current setup is working fine, you should not have to immediately change anything. If you're building a new site or restructuring an already existing site, simply avoid introducing _escaped_fragment_ urls. .</p> <p>Q: I use a JavaScript framework and my webserver serves a pre-rendered page. Is that still ok? <br>A: In general, websites shouldn't pre-render pages only for Google -- we expect that you might pre-render pages for performance benefits for users and that you would follow progressive enhancement guidelines. If you pre-render pages, make sure that the content served to Googlebot matches the user's experience, both how it looks and how it interacts. Serving Googlebot different content than a normal user would see is considered cloaking, and would be against our Webmaster Guidelines.</p> <p>If you have any questions, feel free to post them here, or<a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/go/community"> in the webmaster help forum</a>.</p> <br> <span class="byline-author">Posted by <a rel="author" href="https://plus.google.com/+KazushiNagayama/">Kazushi Nagayama</a>, Search Quality Analyst</span></div> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Webmaster Central Blog:Deprecating our AJAX crawling scheme&url=https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html&via=googlewmc'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://webmasters.googleblog.com/search/label/advanced' rel='tag'> advanced </a> , <a class='label' href='https://webmasters.googleblog.com/search/label/crawling%20and%20indexing' rel='tag'> crawling and indexing </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2486718892644334192' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/an-update-on-how-we-tackle-hacked-spam.html' itemprop='url' title='An update on how we tackle hacked spam'> An update on how we tackle hacked spam </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, October 05, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <p>Recently we have started rolling out a series of algorithmic changes that aim to tackle hacked spam in our search results.
