Ajax tabs and seo and sitemap

[paddyaran]

I am in the process of simplifying my website so that there are tabs in each section which load dynamically by ajax all of the subpages.Each subpage has funny url with a hashtag.
Does this mean each page does not have its title , or metatags?, Is this bad for seo?. Many of these pages have only a paragraph of text.

I also am making a sitemap which links to the pages as a normal page. Would this mean I have a duplicate content issue with seo?.

Be sure to create your sitemap so that one individual URL has it's own content, and there is not another URL on the domain which has 100% of the same content.

You can set it so that Ajax loading pages have their own URLs and change as they load, and also have their own page title. This is used by sites such as USA Today. Click any news article for an example:

http://www.usatoday.com/

Is that the kind of loading mechanism you mean?
