Does anyone have any experience of working with AJAX and its impact, positive or negative, on their SEO work.

Most spiders will not call an XMLHttpRequest, so will not see the data that you're pushing to the browser for human users.

If that data is something that you want SE spiders to see crawl and index, then you shouldn't be calling it via an XMLHttpRequest object anyway.

We have a site in our niche that is number 1 for many terms using

javascript:__doPostBack('SearchTemplate1$DataGrid1$_ctl$_ctl','') logic

from what I understand is an older version of javascript, similar to AJAX.

Well the way the site is constructed there is about 30 of text-reach content pages that are using this method to link out to about 2000 widget pages

Site Ranks #1,

So i think if planned correctly it should be no problem to get where you want to be.
