scanreg Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Has anyone had any issues with losing google ranking when switching to any system that uses jquery? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Depends on the use of jQuery. Do you have a URL we can look at? If not, you'll need to describe exactly how you use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Could be but there are so many factors it's hard to tell without more information. If that's the only thing that's changed then I would imagine it's causing your decrease in ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanreg Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I only have it on a local test server at the moment but the html and content still shows even if I turn off css and javascript Does that help? In other words, the content should be visible, doesn't need the js to find it Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 As long as you are using jQuery for presentation and have non-JS fallbacks, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanreg Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 As long as you are using jQuery for presentation and have non-JS fallbacks, you should be fine. In other words, so long as it doesn't affect the spiderable stuff, is that what you mean? Meaning, it's not content related (?)

Philip Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 As long as you're not changing your URL structure, the content on the page and simply switching the JS library from another (or none) to jQuery you're fine. You haven't told us a lot of what you've done, so we can't really give you anymore of a specific answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanreg Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm replacing the whole site and systems, the URLs will change Some pages and such will be removed, should I do some 301's? I'm trying to clean it up and give a new look Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Any pages that do not exist should be permanently redirected to the new page, yes. Take a look at a very nice Google sponsored PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanreg Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks, I'll check out that pdf, great I have a bunch of pages that are no longer part of the site anymore, hence the not-found issues I was thinking of having all those 301 redirects point to the home page Think this would be no good? Otherwise, I can't think of a solution cuz that content is not on the site at all any longer and I'm guessing that posting dummy pages would not be good either.
