Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Marcus, I am using the ajax to serve "variable" content to human users only after the page has loaded and user has taken some action to sort or filter, and I specifically do not want that content indexed.  BTW, regarding Google indexing ajax content, I am not a fan of using G's proprietary hashbang methodology. If you want the content indexed, then load it with the page. Any content loaded through ajax should be for human consumption only. So, back to the question, about link juice...

Thx

I use links with href="#" to trigger ajax functions in order to filter/sort and refresh  search results on page. Since several other html tags could potentially be used to bind a javascript event, (ie. span, img, div, etc), could there be a compelling reason to avoid using the anchor tag for this purpose? My concern is link juice dilution since many different pages will have the same links to: Sort by number of bedrooms or Filter by neighborhood. It is also common practice to use links with href="#" to submit ajax forms which are not html forms at all. I am just trying to rethink this practice and implement a best practice method. Thx
