GWT SEO

[maq]

Hi,

Does any one have a good tutorial on how to turn GWT application into
crawler friendly?

I found some information talking about AJAX/crawler solution and such.
But nothing like : for GWT application, here is what you do, 1,2,3...

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know there isn't anything else you can do, except for the official google ajax solution you mentioned: http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html

I'd be very interested in this, too;)

Also I'm thinking:

If I provide very simple html pages of the GWT content for googlebot. But then I want the users to see the fancy GWT webpages. Is it allowed to do sth like this on all the simple HTML pages:

<script>window.location = 'fancy-gwt-redirect-for-browser';</script>

??

Since the script tag get's delivered to googlebot, too, this souldn't be cloaking?? And googlebot can see the content while users still get to see the real and more advanced website.

Or another problem might be that googlebot could follow this simple redirect even without interpreting JavaScript, ending up on an empty page and we have the initial problem again.

Does anyone have any inside knowledge on this?

Thanks

Maybe you can have a look at GWTP ?

Thanks for your reply.

However, for already coded projects it might be hard to add yet another framework.

Isn't it possible to use that crawlerservice URL just with a regular GWT app? And then just the crawlerservice app is written with GWTP.

Oh and @maq: sorry for asking questions here in your thread, I don't want to be rude... I hope the direction of the discussion is still as you planned it... Looking forward to your own questions ;)

Thanks Alain.
Wonder if there is a way that I don't need create a new dependency (3rd party code)?

Thanks!

I  cant tell.

 I never really worked on GWT SEO.

But i think you will never regret a depency to GWTP

Phillipe and the others  members have made a great job with the library.

It s worth a try :).

Thanks Alain being a good advocate for a good project :)

I will check it out (perhaps secretly peeking at the source code too :)

Just one word, the crawler service and client in GWTP can be use as a standalone module by itself in any project,

You can see what it needs here:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/DependencyHierarchy

and download the separated jars here:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/downloads/detail?name=gwtp-separate-0.6.zip&can=2&q=#makechanges

or if you prefer maven:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/UsingGwtpWithMaven

and finally, the crawler documentation:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/CrawlerSupport

Cheers,
