What is the latest consensus on SPA web design architecture and SEO friendliness?
By SPA, I mean rather than each page having its own unique URL, instead each page would have an anchor added to a single URL. For example:
- Before SPA: website.com/home/green.html
- After SPA: website.com/home.html#green (rendering a new page using AJAX)
It would seem that Google may have trouble differentiating pages with unique anchors vs unique URLs, but have they adapted to this style of architecture yet? Are there any best practices around this?
Some developers are moving to SPA as the state of the art in architecture (e.g., see this thread: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Google-crawling-websites-built-using-121615.S.219120193), and yet there may be a conflict between SPA and SEO.
Any thoughts or black and white answers?
Thanks.
