There are discussions about this (SEO) on this list, have a search for them. But basically, you'll want to embed the information you want indexed into your host pages. This is not a GWT limitation but rather a limitation of any web application that uses DOM modification to present

In case it's any help to anyone, this is how I think I'll solve the indexing problem. My wife has a web site on which she sells various things, the descriptions of which are stored in a database. I re-jigged her website as a way to learn GWT. She was quite keen to have the GWT version, but

Quick answer for me - no, never expected it to be indexed so there was never any wondering The trade off that Eric mentions was always made pretty clear by the search engines and in my case, we decided to render pages we wanted indexed outside of GWT and we have a parallel application structure

Eric Just to make sure I understood your last point, we should be looking for a search bot indicator like a URL parameter or something, and if we see it we should render our page as statically and flat as possible? Thanks, jos On Jan 24, 5:01 am, Eric Ayers zun...@google.com wrote: Hi Bryan,

Hi Bryan I recently had the chance to speak with some good SEO types and the subject of javascript did come up. The bottom line is don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen in any search engine. I think its easy to appreciate how difficult it would be for a search engine to do this.

Why does the GWT compiler not create a version for the google index bot that contains only static content that can be indexed? When you can compile from Java to Javascript there must be a way to compile it in a static html content. Where you can exclude the whole grafical stuff.

AFAIK, the Google bot (or any other bot for that matter), does not understand Javascript. Therefore, if your entire website is built with GWT, all the Google bot will see is a javascript import for the nocache file. You'll have to search the group for Search engine optimization to get some ideas

I've searched the forum on this topic, and it appears the only way to get a GWT site indexed is by some horrible hacks. If I use Firebug with Firefox, I can get the HTML displayed that the Javascript is writing to the DOM, so this means it should be possible for the Google search bot to do a
