Yes, I know what Google writes about cloacking and non unique sites etc.

Do you know, when Niklas Zennström, creator of Skype enters a conference room, CEO's of the large telecom companies shivers.

I don't think the CEO's of the SE companies are shivering when they hear about AJAX (more generally about web applications) since they were the first to use the technology. But one thing I am sure of is that web applications are the future, and SE's have to prepare for it.

Should the CNNMoney site be downgraded by the SE's because it uses one ore another AJAX technology? Then there may be a disagreement between human surfers and SE Bots, since a human being may prefer a site with stock quotes that updates without refreshing the page.

There are very strong arguments for a financial, AJAX driven web site (application) with dynamic (even some seconds delayed) quotes to have higher rank than a similar static.

Note: In the beginning XML was a buzz word. Today it is a very important technology.

Theoretically, if stock quotes are in free fall, a static page could ruin you.

May be not important for a web master, but ask a trader.
