Recent 301 IIS redirect might have screwed me up.

As with anybody who optimizes for Google, of course my MSN rankings where hot, however, I recently had to implement a 301 redirect from http://cushionsandumbrellas.com to http://www.cushionsandumbrellas.com, because of caninonical inconsistencies.

Well, Google loved that to death because the recrawled and deep crawled my site. However, MSN, still has links to my site from the non www version of my url, and because my website is an asp.net dynamic application, the links to my product pages from MSN now resolve to a null search result. I'm scared that MSN bot will see this as spamming, or worse, that a customer see's this page and figures I have nothing.

Your thoughts

 

Sorry to disappoint you, but you are using a 302 redirect, not a 301. You can verify it with the tool in my signature.

DAMN, my hosting company screwed up and made the wrong kind of redirect.

 

Working now. Real 301 redirect, but the issue remains. All of the links from MSN points to my error pages.

 

Which ones ? I just see a few pointing to an empty cart. Most seem ok.

Finally got it to work correctly. Had to add some IIS filters to make sure everything pointed to what it was supposed to point at.
