I created the website brandfetch.com with Rails. I''ve noticed that Google & some search engines have indexed links into the site that are only meant to be reached through Ajax (link_to_remote) calls within the app. (e.g. brandfetch.com/rails/web_stats/get_domain_stats) I know how to handle calls to an unknown method, but how can I handle these links/calls to implemented methods that aren''t supposed to be called directly? Thank you, Chris -- Posted via ruby-forum.com.

Very nice website... This is the first site that I have seen that really shows of the power of AJAX and RoR!! Great Job!! Now that I''m thinking about it, where are some other RoR websites that shows this type of power...is there an update-to-date "Showcase" area somewhere for RoR websites?

You might want to make the default route '''' work so one can bookmark your home page properly without extra path info -- thereby allowing you to change controller names, etc. down the road.

Wow. Thanks everyone .. That''s really encouraging! I put a lot of time into building it--this is my first experience building a web app, and there was a ton to learn. Steven--very good advice on the bookmarking. I hadn''t considered that. I don''t know about a Rails showcase site. I remember coming across one some time ago, but I can''t remember where. Thanks!
