Make Ecwid compatible with Google AJAX indexing
Google is now able to index AJAX content, not all people are able to utilize Ecwid's inline SEO catalog and many already struggle with its implementation.
If Ecwid were able to be indexed by Google's new AJAX indexing function, the platform would be much more diverse than it already is.

Hi,
Please let me clarify the situation with Google and Ajax indexing.Actually, Google still cannot index pages generated dynamically, i.e. using JavaScript. It already can execute some simple JavaScript but not rich web applications with a complex JavaScript code.
The links you posted describe Google's effort to fix this problem. What they suggest, actually:
- a site owner still should generate a plain-HTML version of each dynamic AJAX page
- a site owner should format URL’s of his Ajax and plain-HTML pages in a specific way so that Google could associate the AJAX page with its plain-HTML version.So, the fact is that a store owner still has to generate a plain-HTML version of each AJAX page. Actually, the Inline SEO Catalog feature Ecwid already uses and the Google's technique are quite similar - the same approach.
Implementation of the Google's way will be the same as installation of Inline SEO Catalog but with slightly different URL’s generated by Ecwid.
