We are working on an Ajax application that will dynamically load content. It will be embedded in other people's site, so we were thinking of using hashtags to denote parameters for content IDs (and color scheme IDs).Would Google be able to index this content? And could we use such URLs in a sitemap?The reason my colleague has suggested hashtags is to avoid disrupting URLs on client sites, especially as users won't be expert developers.
Can URLs containing hashtags now be used in site maps and indexed by Google?

Before the end of 2015 i would have recommended to implement the ajax crawling from google, but it's deprecated: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.htmlBut in general i don't recommend you to use them:I'm not sure how google handels hashfragments and i found notrusted, fresh source U can not use them with analytics (out of the box)Are client side and not sent in HTTP request (for example no apache url rewrite)  If you rly want you should use Hashbangs #!, but if you really want to build a SEO optimized page you shouldn't use them either.Example for a SERP with Hashbangs: https://www.google.de/#q=site:anaavenue.com Oh, and if i analyse the Google itself, the query site:www.google.de inurl:?q gives me search results, but for site:www.google.de inurl:#q i don't get any.And don't forget, that there are more search engines than Google..
