Re: Can't get Google Crawler to index my GWT-based site no matter what I do. Help!

Your URLs could be further improved if you go through the proposal in

I am unable to get my GWT-based site to be indexed by Google no matter what I do.

My URLs all look like this:

http://marketplace.styleguise.net/#!/home  http://marketplace.styleguise.net/#!/new-listings  http://marketplace.styleguise.net/#!/item/172001  http://marketplace.styleguise.net/#!/about

and so on.

I have a URL servlet handler that properly returns static HTML snapshots of my site (using HtmlUnit) when they are requested as:

http://marketplace.styleguise.net/?_escaped_fragment_=/home  http://marketplace.styleguise.net/?_escaped_fragment_=/new-listings  http://marketplace.styleguise.net/?_escaped_fragment_=/item/172001  http://marketplace.styleguise.net/?_escaped_fragment_=/about

My host HTML page has the special meta tag:

<meta name="fragment" content="!">

Finally, I have a sitemap with about 15 URLs. One of them is the host page, the rest are all hash-bang based URLs.

Within the Webmaster Tools, Google is reporting only one page as having been indexed (the home page without a hash-bang). I've tried submitting my URLs individually using the Fetch As Googlebot tool but that seems to disallow one from submitting hash-bang URLs to the index, even if they fetch properly and the preview is correct. I've tried both with and without a robots.txt file as well. Nothing works!

This is driving me mad! Has anyone managed to get Google to index their GWT site? If so, I would REALLY appreciate any advice.
