Issue Summary

Hi,

I suppose that all ajax links should have attribute rel = "nofollow" to avoid indexing of this pages. Any search robot finds this pages as broken. Moreover, if ajax link contains dynamic url parts, robot will index all this pages and can mark site as "not trustable" because of this links.

Patch attached.

I completely disagree. Many of the ajax links have non-ajax fallbacks and can be used in places where you do want the non-ajaxed content to be indexed. Doing this unilaterally seems like a bad idea. Making it possible to do this if someone needs it is totally sensible, though.
