Just created my first app engine app, its working great! Existing
hosting company is GoDaddy, and I updated settings as per
instructions, the redirect is set for "forward with masking". Website
is www.taxmine.com and app engine project is taxmine1.appspot.com

Problem is that all urls are always masked, and no matter which page
the user is on, the url always reads http://www.taxmine.com with the
same title, meta values etc.

Am I missing something? What changes do I need to make to have a seo
friendly site?

You should use Google Apps to 'map' your domain to App Engine

http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/domains.html

This way the visitor accesses your actual pages using your actual
domain, rather than the appspot domain.

Thanks Barry! That worked. Took some time to propagate the changes, so
had a little down time. But seems to work now.
