The absence of JavaScript support in today's search engine crawlers presents a serious SEO dilemma for Websites generating some or all of their content with JavaScript DOM manipulation. A quick glance at a million server headers eaten by Splunk and crawled by Grub shows the severity of the problem. A solution is presented by using a ghosting application in front of the Web server doing source rendering with a third party JavaScript engine library for various crawlers. The solution enables a Website to deliver rendered page content for crawlers, which subsequently increases the site's ranking. Using memcached, a scalable solution is provided for increasing throughput on large or busy sites.

Speaker Bio: Kord Campbell was the original founder and visionary behind Grub, the DDoS? Web crawler recently re-purchased by Wikia. He is also the founder and architect of Zoto.com, an iPhoto-like management system that, for good or bad, uses 100% JavaScript, DOM manipulation for building pages. Kord currently serves as chief evangelist at Splunk.com.
