    Your site is indexed in Yahoo.

    If you are wondering why it doesn't rank highly for a particular search term then this is a different matter.

    Yahoo only knows about 10 links to your site.

    To rank higher you need to build more links and make sure they are relevant, natural looking and quality.

    well Yahoo knows 317 links to my site .

    But if you check with www.giexc.com the result is 10 .Will this be one of the problem ?I mean a web site URL with "www" and without "www" ??

    Having 2 versions of your site (one with www and one without) will certainly not be helping you.

    I suggest choosing the one with most links (the non-www in this case) and redirecting to that one using htaccess.

    yeah as mentioned above. re-direct to the main site.

    Then start building links in the same format.

    How did you end up with two different types anyhow? Did you prefer to use non-www?

    Yes , I choose to use non-www format in the initial (at that moment I am 100% newbie to this ) .But some how I found out people add a "www" for me when they accept my mail for link exchange .That is why I have two versions now :rolleyes: ~

    I will follow your advice to re-direct the www to non-www URL
    But any one of you know how to set up with the re-direct ?
    May be I need to do a search in the thread!

    Create a file called .htaccess (this is the full name - nothing else) and place the following code in it:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com
    RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    Upload this to the same directory as your web pages.

    thanks for the tips , I found I have .htaccess in the directory already .So is it right to just past the code you tell me on anywhere of the .htaccess ? The file will look like

    And also how to know if the re-direct works ?

    The code you posted looks fine however not all servers require the same code so the only thing to do is test it.

    Upload the file and check that the site still works. Then go to www.domain.com and see if the url in the browser address bar changes to domain.com if it does then it works.
