GWT, Search Engine Optimization, Adsense, Google Analytics

Pieter Coucke

I've used GWT for over half a year now on koopjeszoeker.be. Two weeks ago I decided to stop development with GWT and go with plain HTML and mootools for the autocompleter. I've used mootools already a lot and I'm really getting the hang of it. Why? Why did I spend all this time developing in GWT and why did I decided to stop?

-> SEO, Analytics and Adsense

SEO : I'm currently building a GWT application that is compatible with Google Search Appliance. So I'm pretty sure that it is possible to build search engine compatible applications.

Analytics : Here is a tip from Robert Hanson : GWT / Google Analytics Integration. I have no feedback about this tip.

Adsense : in this area, GWT is in the same troubles than Flash. So, if there is a solution for Flash, there is a solution for GWT : Adsense in Adobe Flash now possible. This solution is a hack. But I'm sure that Google is working on a more supported solution.

GWT / Google Analytics Integration

Christoph :

Any ideas or recommendations on how to integrate a GWT app with Google Analytics?


Robert Hanson

Sure, it is just a simple JSNI call.

// untested
public native void trackUrchinHit (String pageName) /*-{
$wnd.urchinTracker(pageName);
}-*/

Just call that method whenever you want to track an event in the interface. You also need to include the Urchin JS code in the HTML page (obviously)
