Javascript changing URL - Thoughts?

[poolguy]

So, our developer just created a player at the bottom of this site I work for.  It's not really important what it is.  The thing is, when you go to our home page now, the javascript changes the url from www.site.com to www.site.com/home

It's not actually redirected or anything (no 301, it's just the javascript doing this), but I'm worried that if someone links back to our site they're going to surely pull that URL to point back to, which is wrong.

Also, when you go to a category, the URL changes from www.site.com/category to www.site.com/home#category.  Again, it's not a redirect but I'm still worried people will link back to this since it's on the entire site now...

I'm suggesting that we turn off this new feature until we find a workaround.  I just wanted to confirm with you guys that this is best.

Thanks

If you want Google etc to treat it as www.site.com then add www.site.com" /> in the head of that page. Then backlinks to www.site.com www.site.com.com/home will; all give link juice to www.site.com . The category page is a different issue in that there is no category page anymore just a reference on the home page. Your developer need to rethink why he would do this sort of layout remapping which makes it harder to get seo value from the pages.

I agree, harder to get seo value.  Better to keep things as clean as possible, seo is hard enough as it is...
