Hi My site was indexed in google with www and without www so i put a command in .httaccess of cpanel for permanent redirect to www and also set the preferred domain in google webmaster tools and all pages were removing slowly and yesterday the urls with www were dropped to "62" but today when i checked it reached again to "14600" . Will u plz tell me why it happened and how to get rid of it -www site:mysite.com Results 1 - 10 of about 14,600 site:mysite.com Results 1 - 10 of about 2,500
Read the thread carefully i already mentioned and also set the preferred domain in google webmaster tools going in more detail i select preferred domain as www on sept 1st.
The filename should be .htaccess, not .httaccess. And, you should put it in your site's root directory, not in your cPanel.
This action only effects how the site URL is displayed in the SERP. Many people are mistaken in thinking this fixes the canonical URL issue. You can expect things to take a full update or two before the mod-rewrite you did takes full effect.
You have too w8 until Google recrowle your site it depends on Google that how much time they will take.
The pages were crawled and that has nothing to do with the issue. Google needs to drop all pages from its database and pick up all the pages again as well as re-score all links pointing to the pages. That is why I stated it will take an update or two,
ok just check the site urself every thing is ok than why google doing this to me site:sms2friends.com and -www site:sms2friends.com all pages were dropped by google in time period of two months and today it recrawled them again i dont know how it recrawled that pages which are even not in site means 404 and or not even in sitemap what google doing plz check the site and help me thanks
Do you use a sitemap? If yes, generate the links with www and give google some time to update the data.
the problem im facing is that google recrawled all the pages with out www once again for which i wait for two month to get removoed from google i want to know how and why google recrawled these pages once again.
I looked at a couple of your URLs from your sitemap and if I am not mistaken Google is seeing all as one page.... http://www.sms2friends.com/sms/jokes_category.php?cat_id=73 http://www.sms2friends.com/sms/jokes_category.php?cat_id=107 Seems to me you need to rewrite all URLs into individual pages via the htaccess file. Someone else may be able to shed more light on this however as I am not sure exactly how Google is seeing your pages....however it appears Google is having issues with your site, Good luck!
