title: #! (hashbang) and Google SEO
body: <p>I've read over the Google specification for crawling AJAX-enabled pages. Since part of Google's indexing method uses the URL itself, will converting to <code>!#</code> negatively effect SEO?</p>
  
  <p>For instance, if I have a page at <code>www.mysite.com/surfing</code>, Google will be likely to rate it highly if a user searches for "surfing" because it has "surfing" in the URL.  Would the same be true for <code>www.mysite.com/#!surfing</code> or does it ignore the hash fragments for the purposes of weighting the URL itself?</p>
