      I recently joined a team with a site without

      a) Great content

      b) Not much of any search traffic

      I looked and all their url's are built in this way:

      Normal looking link -> not actually a new page but # like:

      /#content-title

      And it has no h1 tag. Page doesn't refresh.

      My initial thought is to gut the site and build it in wordpress, but first have to ask, is there a way to make a site with /#/ content loading friendly to search engines?

        Hi Andrew,

        As far as I know, Google stopping crawling URL when it finds # in url ( correct me if i am wrong).

        For example, Please type "inurl:# " in Google, you will not get any result.

        Hope this help you....
