Inline JavaScript in HAML + SEO
After putting together that microsite this weekend in HAML & Sinatra, I needed to do the usual SEO stuff inside the index.haml document; thankfully HAML 2.0+ comes with a filter for Javascript.
Example HAML'd Google Analytics Code
:javascript
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-393335-18");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
Next up my robots.txt file
User-Agent: *
Allow: /
Disallow: /css/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /javascripts/
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.xml
And the sitemap.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://www.mysite.com/</loc>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
</url>
</urlset>
...ok the last two i'll get generated via ruby, but they're good examples ;-)
