thanks popotalk, but what is the 301 redirect has to do with getting out of suplement. that is the question.
http : // toby. com is different from http: //www.toby .com so if you are using www. toby.com there are different results.
the www redirect thing isn't necessary. Just get a google webmasters account, get the site in there, and tell them what the preferred domain is.
hmmm.. i thought as long as there is no different inbound link to http: // toby.com that would be fine. Well, anyway, it's little out of discussion here. and thanks for explaining,popo.
Very well done... Not sure if this was mentioned but... 1. filling in the catagory descriptions and also the meta description will work to help as well.... 2. adding keywords to those directories catagories will achieve nice results thx malcolm
Another exactly from me Check my directory as an example, until i add my trusted backlink, it had lots of supplemental pages. And now new pages are detected almost immediately and i dont think there are any supplemental pages
Simply because you are redirecting index.php to / as well. I may add, to help with supplemental results try to require or come up yourself with unique descriptions of the submitted links. webmaster are too lazy to modify the description everytime they submit to a directory. But it is beneficial to both, how good is a link if you know that the page you are submitting to is going to be supplemental.
Just find this > Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on and add below that # Rewrite index.php to / RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.(php|html?)\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^index\.(php|html?)$ http://www.yoursite.com/ [R=301,L] # Rewrite non www to www RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite\.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L] No idea about this What can be done for these kind of pages which dont exist but still show as supplementals - w ww.directory.com/rss.php?c=175&start=1&s=H Any option to avoid these
We need a expert on this issue because when we disable rss feature in our directory still these rss pages show out in SE's and iam not able to figure out how to disable them in eyes of SE's too One of my PR4 directory has many of those =(
You could try blocking access to those pages using the robots.txt file, that may or may not help, it is worth a try though.
This code will block the search engine spiders from visting certain parts of your website. User-agent: * Disallow: /place the name of the folder here/ Save it as robots.txt and then upload it to the root directory of your site.
