The original founder and visionary behind Grub, the distributed Web crawler recently re-purchased by Wikia, Kord Campbell currently serves as chief evangelist at Splunk.com. At
AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East in New York City later in mid-March, Campbell will be giving a session on how the absence of JavaScript support in today's search engine crawlers presents a serious SEO dilemma for web sites generating some or all of their content with JavaScript DOM manipulation.
"A quick glance at a million server headers eaten by Splunk and crawled by Grub shows the severity of the problem," says Campbell. In his session he will present a solution by using a ghosting application in front of the Web server doing source rendering with a third party JavaScript engine library for various crawlers.
"The solution enables a Website to deliver rendered page content for crawlers, which subsequently increases the site's ranking," he explains. "Using memcached, a scalable solution is provided for increasing throughput on large or busy sites," adds Campbell, who is also the founder and architect of Zoto.com, an iPhoto-like management system that, for good or bad, uses 100% JavaScript, DOM manipulation for building pages
His session is just of the 90+ sessions, presentations, discussion panels, and keynotes that together make up the 3-day conference program of this month's 5th International AJAXWorld.
