You should only use AJAX if it actually benefits the user. Please don't join the "because I can" crowd.

If done properly, yes. First, you implement the site so that it absolutely no dependencies on any client-side scripting, AJAX or otherwise. You then add additional, scripted functionality on top.

If by "ajax sites", you mean loading content using AJAX in a frame-like manner, don't do that, it's silly: it makes bookmarking harder, and renders navigation controls useless.
