Make an Ember Browser Application

Question

I read about google specs about ajax crawl; I understood the concept, but I need some more clarification:

my urls look like this:

http://www.website.com/#!/eng/home http://www.website.com/#!/eng/contacts ... 

I have to provide a html snapshot at these addresses:

 http://www.website.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/eng/home http://www.website.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/eng/contacts ... 

It is right? Or should I remove the “/” in the escaped_fragment url (e.g. http://www.website.com/?_escaped_fragment_=eng/home or something else?)

I generate HTML snapshots using phantomjs, but which one is the best way to provide these snapshots to the scanner? Using node js? Using htaccess rewrite rules?

Answer 1

Well, since I finally got rid of this, I would like to share what I found;

First of all, an HTML snapshot should be provided for the crawler at a specific URL, where

 ?_escaped_fragment_= 

replaces

 #! 

So, if you have:

 http://www.website.com/#!/eng/home 

Your server should provide a snapshot at:

 http://www.website.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/eng/home 

If someone is interested in the method that I use to create a snapshot, I just use a node module called judo ( https://npmjs.org/package/judo ); to use this you need to have phantomjs ( http://phantomjs.org/ ) and node ( http://nodejs.org/ ) on your server; (more on how to install phantomjs on the server: How to configure and run PhantomJS on Ubuntu? )

After you have installed everything, you just need to write a js file using judo (for example, judo.js) (after the page of the document that I contacted before you are ready in 5 minutes); upload the file to the server and execute it using node to create snapshots and a sitemap;

after that you will need to serve the Google crawler with HTML snapshots when it asks? _escaped_fragment_ = URLs; The easiest way, in my opinion, is a .htaccess file; in particular, you need only 3 lines of code, which in my case:

 RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^_escaped_fragment_=/(.*)$ RewriteRule ^$ /seo/snapshots/%1\.html [L] 

(since my judo.js file takes snapshots in the / seo / snapshots directory)

Finally, you can verify that everything works with the "fetch as google" option on the Google webmaster toolbar; if you did everything right, you will see that the result is an HTML snapshot ...

I usually don’t reply to SO messages by offering a paid service, but in this case, think that you should really use BromBone - http://www.emberjsseo.com
