Ok I’ll check it out thanks
So after some more checking if I use the [wpdadiehard project_id=”1″ page_id=”1″] function, data is displayed as html in the source however this method doesn’t seem to have much control over the output
So to figure out if Google is indexing the content correctly I tested your site and it does appear as though it is…
runamuck site:wpdataaccess.com
However, some pages don’t show the ajax info
I’m exploring some wordpress caching plugins to see if it makes this work a bit better…
I was going to test it today, and unfortunately I realized that the content itself is not view-able in the source. You can only see Json calls not actual text rendered. I’m looking for a solution but unless this is addressed, Google may not even be able to see any of the content at all….
Cool ??
I’m not a SEO expert, but I guess the problem is that Google does not follow the pagination buttons. Right?
Thats half the problem, the other half is the URL doesn’t change.
What happens if you add a next and previous page button manually to a hidden element? Will Google follow these buttons?
It will only work if the URL changes, and javascript is not used. Google does read some java but it’s not guaranteed.
You don’t have to be an SEO expert to understand all the data beyond the first page is currently invisible to Google. Even if Google can follow the next, or page links, it still has to be able to reference that new set of loaded data somehow eg, example.com/data/2,3,4,5 etc
So when people click on example.com/data/2 in Google search results they are presented with the 2nd page of data
Well I don’t think you understand the point I’m trying to make.
Imagine you have a website with only one page as shown:
This single page uses your plugin, which has a database of 50K records behind it.
The way you’re plugin is built currently, Google can only see one page. Thats it. So if you were to search Google for example.com it would only return one page which is /data/
However, if you made the pagination of your plugin link to a “separate page” for blocks of 10 for the 50k records. Such as /data/2/, /data/3/, /data/4/, /data/5/ etc
Google will now see that example.com has 5,000 pages! This is extremely powerful.
Google does not follow javascript well, so you’re above solution wouldn’t be good for this purpose.
I hope you understand now….
