Hey guys, so my site was ranking in google on the first page for keywords as www.addictinggames247.com Then I got it added to yahoo and it was on the first page as well but then google dropped it for those keywords for some reason. Then a week later it was back in for the keywords into google and traffic was awesome. Throughout this whole time I was making minor changes to the site and moving things around. Well all of a sudden the page starts falling in google and then stops ranking for that keyword group. It also started dropping in yahoo. So I started changing things around to where I thought would be best. It went to number two in Yahoo but still has not gone back into google as www.addictinggames247.com It is in there as addictinggames247.com on the 15th page. Are there any thoughts? I'm currently only making like 2 bucks a day and this is horrible. Keep in mind the site started with www in front started as a PR4 and went to a PR5 after the latest update and the one without www has no PR at all. Make sense at all because it dosn't to me.... Any help is appreciated By the way, both are listed in google but the problem is the www one is not showing up for the keyword phrase.
Sounds like google is seeing it as 2 different sites. I believe this is fixed with a .htaccess command that will tell google infact they are the same site. I forgot off the top of my head what the command is, maybe someone else can chime in.
It's a 301 redirect. You can find more information for 301 redirect at this site. Here's what you add above other RewriteCond's, but under the RewriteEngine On.
Alright I will add that to the access file but my question is, why would it show up for that keyword group with a PR0 and not for the PR5 with the www ? They are both the same page and the one with higher PR does not show.... Both pages are still in google if you search by each exact domain.... I was under the impression that they are both suppose to be in google also or am I wrong? Thanks for the help guys Here is what the file currently looks like now. Tell me if this is good to go. DirectoryIndex index.php RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^play-([0-9]+) /index.php?action=play&id=$1 [L] RewriteRule ^cat-([0-9]+)?-p([0-9]+) /index.php?action=category&id=$1&page=$2&order2=game_name&sby=ASC [L] RewriteRule ^cat-([0-9]+) /index.php?action=category&id=$1&ppage=20&order2=game_name&sby=ASC [L] RewriteRule (.*)\.html$ /index.php?page=viewprofile&user=$1 [L] Options -Indexes RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.addictinggames247\.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.addictinggames247.com/$1 [R=301,L] The only thing about this problem that does not make sense though is that.... The URL that currently shows has no PR. The one with www does not and is a PR5. Even with the 301 redirect, it seems like there is some other problem though or am I wrong? To the top.... could someone please look over everything for me and tell me what you think? The more opinions, the better. ::thumbs up:: Also, I wanted to ask you guys why alot of my pages are showing up in the Google Supplemental Index?
I would say a 301 redirect issue. Unless those minor pages included changes in keywords or adding more. I have found that even a few keyword changes can mess up keyword density and then drop your site into seo hell .... in this case more is not better ... good luck.
So after a few days the page with no www and no PR now dissapeared from that keyword but the www page with a PR5 still is not showing up. It is however still in google though if you do a direct search for it. Anyone have any ideas?
