I've been thinking about writing a blog article on this subject. Basically AJAX is like Chocolate - it's really tempting, but eating too much or for the wrong reasons is not a good idea.
I've just rewritten one of my sites which used AJAX to load content on a single index page. I've now made sure every unique resource has a unique url. This is good for browser navigation, good for Google, and good for promoting a single resource on a service like Twitter. Now my site which looked like 1 page to Google is almost 500 pages.
