What is the best solution to hide the ugly Gwt Crawlable Url (the one use hashbang)?


I just discovered that google adword does not allow the hash bang (#) in the destination url of Adword Ads. If the url contains # then u can't advertise ur page in Google.

So we need a way to hide the hash bang (#) in the url but still be able to let the the spider to know that our app is the Ajax-based app.

So what is the best (ie simple but very effective) solution to solve this issue?


Solution

  • You can use a redirect: Google Groups for instance uses redirects for its "permalinks"; e.g. https://groups.google.com/d/forum/google-web-toolkit redirects to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-web-toolkit
