Making AJAX Applications Crawlable on BuddyPress

[Ezd]

Google has released a write-up on a new crawling method that will allow site owners to index their AJAX content which used to be ignored in the past. It's a very straight forward process and should be worth implementing in BuddyPress:

I'm assuming that this is the updated URL: ​https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/

Thinking through where we use AJAX in BP:

• certain user actions, like joining a group or requesting a friendship (not visible to Google anyway)
• directory pagination - but do we want Google crawling through pages? Not sure what the implications are
• activity Read More - same question as above
• directory filters (like reordering by Recently Active etc)

Before doing any work to make this stuff indexable, I would like a clearer picture of whether it's actually desirable to have this stuff indexed. It seems to me that it's mostly duplicate content; BP does not hide any primary content behind AJAX. But I am not an expert in this area, so other opinions are welcome.

I don't think think this is worth doing. I suspect search engines are much better at following javascript changes nowadays.
