Silverlight 3 and SEO

  • Makale

All great RIA applications have a meaningful client and server component to them.  Supporting SEO, or Search Engine Optimization in a RIA is an excellent example of using the client and server components.   It doesn’t mater how cool your applications are, if potential users can’t find your site via their search engine of choice (Google, Yahoo, Live, etc) then you are out of luck.  So it is important to plan for that upfront.   It is reasonably simple to do this for static text, even in a RIA application, but most of the really interesting information in many applications is  dynamically loaded and data-driven.   Luckily .NET RIA Services has some SEO support built right in that can be used with RIA applications including Silverlight and Ajax!

In my Mix 09 talk I showed a very simple way to add SEO to a data-driven Silverlight application.  Now Warren (the developer who owns this feature) writes a bit more about it and provides a very cool sample. 

Search Engine Optimization for Silverlight Applications  (the basic idea)

Search Engine Optimization for Silverlight Applications – Part 2 (a working example)

You can also use your search engine of choice to find “Silverlight Store Wireless Keyboard 7000 ” as of this writing Warren’s sample application is the number one hit! If you have Silverlight 3 installed, you will get a nice RIA experience, otherwise you get a reasonable HTML-based experience.

 

Has anyone tried out this solution with .NET RIA Services yet?  I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this model.

 

thanks!

    Hey, SEO seems to be at the fore-front of everything web a the moment, and understandably as there are a lot of people to compete with. Have you heard about a new CMS system that has been working with Google, with a built in SEO and GWO application. Im not too sure of the ins and outs, but it seems to add code to your site and helps boost your rankings, i think its experimental at the moment, but a step in teh right direction i feel.

    I tried ".NET RIA Services" with Silverlight 3.0 navigation project and Silverlight VirtualEarth MapControl and I had to unistall .NET RIA Services. I had to many problems with getting data from server (complex  query) so I moved back to WCF and LINQToSQL. I spend almost 3 evenings, maybe I should more but first time with RIA Services wasn't good. Bests, Jacek Ciereszko

    Very exciting to hear that Silverlight will support SEO! Every webmaster like SEO, and many of them will prefer Silverlight in the future now!

    @Ldsenow If the format of the URL is an issue, you can make use of ASP.NET routing to clean up the URL (everything except the fragment).  Similarly, the Silverlight 3 Frame supports UriMapping to clean up the URL fragment values. With regard to seeing the mixture of deep-link and RIA state in the URL (which is quite ugly!), I wrote briefly about this here: http://blogs.msdn.com/waldred/archive/2009/03/30/silverlight-deeplinks-and-redirection.aspx
