Can search engines effectively index a site that is built using the AJAX functionality of the Telerik suite? The crawlers index your site by following the links from page to page but using AJAX their are no links for it to follow that I know of since they can't process scripts.
My site is managed from a CMS so building the site map xml document that they recommend is not as easy as it sounds and it doesn't handle all the possibilities that link based browsing allows for.
Is this something that Telerik has taken into consideration?

BTW, SEO means "Search Engine Optimization" in the marketing world if anyone doesn't already know that.

Hello Jim,
In general our controls' native AJAX mechanism (supported by r.a.d.grid, r.a.d.combobox, r.a.d.treeview, etc.), as well as r.a.d.callback, automatically detects crawlers and search engines and provides traditional (non AJAX) output for them. However, a small modification to the web.config has to be done. Here is a good example how to configure this in Web.Config: http://forums.asp.net/1012090/ShowPost.aspx
