Hi, I have 3 questions regarding GWT Apps and search engine crawlers (particularly googlebot):
1. I implemented the AJAX crawling scheme http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html on some websites with static small HTML pages created on the server for googlebot. However it seems to me that googlebot indexes a lot less content from websites using this scheme. Does anyone know any GWT websites using AJAX crawling scheme where a "site:" search in google delivers many and fresh results? Or any other advice and experience in this area?? 2. On Sites using "#!" in their URL (like google groups here) I ALWAYS see a directory-like structure after the hashtag. Something like #!/value1/value2/... instead of #!key1=value1&key2=value2 Is there a reason for that? Especially concerning SEO and PageRank flowing on the different pages within a site? 3. Google also recommends rendering HTML snapshots of the GWT page on the server and sending it to googlebot (instead of delivering alternative "static" HTML pages). Suppose the HTML output of my GWT Application doesn't have any <a href="...."> links at all because all navigation is done by other "modern" controls etc.. Will googlebot then even be able to crawl the snapshot? Or do I have to fall back to serving static HTML pages with links to googlebot in that case? (or alternatively adding some classic link elements to my GWT code?). Thanks for your help and ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
