Hi Folks, I’m Jesse, on of the co-founders of DropInBlog.
Thanks for taking a look at our product!
Feel free to post any questions you have here and I’ll be happy to help out :)
Hi Jesse,
The main question I have is, how is this as far as SEO? (with the drop-in method). Since it’s all javascript and query strings just wondering if there are any tricks or best practices in that regard.
Not an SEO expert here, but two things come to mind…
1) I was under the impression that at least Google executes JavaScript and there isn’t significant penalty to JavaScript-rendered content. Lot of SPAs in the world.
2) With the JSON API, you could hit that to build a static site! Or us something like Next/Nuxt similarly.
Before we rolled out the JS embed we tested the Google indexing. As Chris mentions it is true they now index JS content. We’ve confirmed they index our content, urls, descriptions and page titles as expected.
If you are not comfortable with that we offer the JSON feed which you can do as you please with. We also have a 3rd “in between” option using Curl and PHP if that is a better fit for you.
While I love the idea to use a static website I have some perplexity about the SEO of this approach.
Also, 50$ a month with no free plan (14-days trial is not a free plan) is a bit pricey, very hard to sell for small clients. Good luck anyway, love the idea.
Hey Marek,
Please see the previous comments that explain the SEO side a bit.
As for the pricing. This is a delicate balancing act. That said, it looks like you were talking about the Standard plan. You might want to compare the features, maybe the Lite plan would serve your needs.
