One option surely is to use hashbang urls.
my-gwt-app.com/#!/products/stuffed-bunny for instance.

Similar to what twitter does: twitter.com/#!/username

The idea would be to let GWT manage the whole frontend application.
Both Google and Bing support hashtag crawling
(http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html).

Btw - have a look at GWTP (http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/) -
an alternative implementation of the MVP pattern. I found it easier to
use and customize than GWT's Activities and GWT's PlaceMapper. But
it's up to you.

Best,

Raphael
