I wouldn&#8217;t bet your SEO legacy on this one single page working well if the javascript or CSS is really obscure or maybe you&#8217;ve forgotten and blocked that out in robots.txt. But if you run the test, and you&#8217;re pretty happy with it, I don&#8217;t necessarily see a problem with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a different convention,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;Sometimes it works. Maybe you get better conversions, maybe you don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s going to depend on what your particular area is, what the topic is, what kind of layout you come out with&#8230;but if it works for you, and for users to have that all on one page, for the most part, it should work for Google as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On a semi-related topic, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/google-blocking-javascript-css-may-be-hurting-your-rankings-2012-03\">here&#8217;s what Cutts had to say<\/a> about a year ago about blocking Google from javascript and CSS. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/matt-cutts-talks-about-how-google-handles-ajax-2012-04\">Here<\/a>, he talks about Google getting better at handling javascript. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=HbsKQLsBLBE:opHTositehg:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/HbsKQLsBLBE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has released its latest Webmaster Help video.
