will changing meta title and description on the fly with javascript affect search engine results?
- mg330
explain "on the fly." are you changing it over and over for one page?
- monNom0
no. search spiders don't run JS AFAIK
- trooperbill0
title yes, description will change the visible description but not the search position... you're title will only be updated and fixed each time the spider visit the page... changing your title could seriously mess with your search placement.

Do you mean those sites that say they have content that matches your search, just incorporating your search term into a page title, but then don't actually have that content? If so, fuck you!
- If not, carry on.ETM

uh no.
It's a page with floorplans for apartments.... we are changing the content with jquery.
but
myurl.com/floor-plans/plan-g/ will get you to plan g and so on
- dbloc0
there is a link to each floor plan in the website guide, so will those get indexed as separate pages?

btw trooperbill, I was looking for a 2012 SEO thread but couldn't find one.

Just change the url with jquery also and link to these url's in your sitemap...Google will index these.

Doesn't Google itself have sites that work like this?
- trooperbill0
@dbloc if you turn off javascript they wont update right? in that case then dont worry about it.... the google bot doesnt activate javascript
- ukit20
trooper I think the latest word is that Google bot does indeed read JS and follow AJAX links
- dbloc0
hmm. looks like it does.

to the OP.... lol no.

no, spider wont see client side changes unless you use a javascript hash technique that alerts the spider of client changes, those meta changes on the fly could be done in php(if it's ok for your page design to have page refreshing at that point)

meta descriptions don't mean jack shit anymore.
what are you stuck in 1998?
- they are still read and displayed by google in search results.albums
- sorry bro... you're clueless.... they have nothing to do with getting you rankings.dconstrukt
- vaxorcist0
in 1998 we would put things like "Brittney Spears illegal nude photos" in our meta tags and our web hits would skyrocket for, like 2 days...
- dbloc0
when was the last time you did a search...they are always displayed.
