Hi Judd,

For the benefit of non-technical people like me, what’s the difference between an AJAX SERP and the ones we see now? What’s the big issue?

Hey James,
Right now, Google’s SERPs are rendered in HTML, making them easy to read for Analytics programs and Automatic Rankchecking Software (which is a no-no, according to Googs).

AJAX is a way of pulling information dynamically using JavaScript, and it’s really, really difficult to parse it and read it like HTML.

So basically, it’s just harder for automated thingies to read. Long and short of it.

Hey Judd!
What happened to you at the last Port 80 gig man? I had to get drunk by myself in front a whole bunch of strangers! Hope we can catch up at the next one.
