    Hi guys,

    Happy new year! Thank you for all your help over the past couple of months. I couldn’t have gotten my site to where it is today without it. Hope you all had a good holiday.

    Just some quick questions I noticed re SEO. I know the theme is optimized but I noticed the following and was hoping you could clarify:

    1) I have a couple “escaped fragment” pages showing up in google webmaster tools and am wondering what these are and if they might pose any duplicate content issues and if I can/should do anything to make sure they don’t get indexed.

    2) I did a W3C markup validation and there were a number of warnings within the theme. Is this something that will affect SEO and is it being worked on?

    Many thanks,
    Jonathan

    Ok, thanks Josue.

    Re duplicate content – perhaps Google isn’t listing them but would the escaped fragment pages have any negative impact on google pages? What are they?

    Also, re W3 – what is the reason the theme doesn’t adhere to those standards just in case?

    Best,
    Jonathan

    Hi!

    I believe its how the crawler will try and grab ajax content. From this dev article on it you can add a line in your robots.txt file to prevent the crawling:
    https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification
    Disallow: /*_escaped_fragment_

    A lot of backwards compatible and cross browser support code isn’t technically w3 standards. Its in place to give the theme the most flexibility for users as possible. There are also things like the inline debug code in the header which I believe the w3 scan flags as well.

    Nothing that will have any negative impact for you.

    Cheers!
    Devin

    Ok, thanks Devin. As long as the escaped fragments don’t negatively affect my SEO I will leave as per theme defaults if that is what is recommended.
