[google-appengine] Re: SEO and Google App Engine
Hello student_thesis, Google does not treat App Engine apps any differently to other sites when it comes to indexing and ranking. Note that many apps serve primarily off their own domain, not off appspot.com - you can't tell simply by looking at the domain name if it's being hosted by App Engine or not. -Nick Johnson On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 7:27 PM, student_thesis wrote: > > Hello > > A big decision in moving our high volume website completely to google > app engine is to see, how does GAE handle SEO of a website. > > We dont want to lose on our SEO rankings with the move. > > I cant find one popular SEO website in google app engine. > > I tried typing a few GAE app names in google and the app does not come > up. > > So does google ever index GAE apps? > > We are willing to make an investment in GAE development, if someone > can shed light on the SEO issue. > > Thanks > > > > -- Nick Johnson, Developer Programs Engineer, App Engine --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

AppEngine itself is just hosting - so it doesnt really have much effect on SEO. Dont forget that you can access a appengine app via a custom domain - so you might not even know a site is AppEngine. As to indexing them - yes: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:appspot.com and a random example http://www.google.com/search?q=life+flow+charts 2009/8/10 student_thesis : > > Hello > > A big decision in moving our high volume website completely to google > app engine is to see, how does GAE handle SEO of a website. > > We dont want to lose on our SEO rankings with the move. > > I cant find one popular SEO website in google app engine. > > I tried typing a few GAE app names in google and the app does not come > up. > > So does google ever index GAE apps? > > We are willing to make an investment in GAE development, if someone > can shed light on the SEO issue. > > Thanks > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

This flow chart page may be a nice example: http://infosthetics.com/archives/2008/11/life_flow_chart_community_authored_flowcharts.html On the other hand it seems clear that Appengine still needs time and massive investment by Google if Appengine shall become a kind of blockbuster application earning money for Google. To become more popular it needs a better documentation understandable not only for experts. To attract high traffic sites it needs far better datastore handling with professional snapshot backups, high speed bulk data up/downloads of the whole datastore (not only single kinds), single command high speed deletion of whole kinds and some professional framework has to be developed to an extend that it runs equally on Appengine as on Non- Appengine infrastructure to guarantee the possibility not being stuck to Google.

Well for starters I'd welcome more than 100 composite indexes limit, a real paging support (next, previous, jump to a page no.), and rock solid indexes so that app customer data don't get mixed on an index accident. Then a big file service and freetext search indexing. But it's still the sexiest hosting platform on the net - pls let me know if you know a better one.
