I have a site and i am wondering how i should word my URL. I have godaddy hosting which allows me to permanantly mask my url. http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource --masked to-- http://pghsource.cagintranet.com Both URLs work, and MSN is eating up my pages either way, but Yahoo and Google only will get to my first page and then stop. I am thinking this is because everything i have pointing to it is pointing towards it with this url: http://pghsource.cagintranet.com. Since the secondary site is connected with my web design site, i dont think there is any type of sandbox issue here, but maybe, i dont know. Any suggestions? Use cagintranet.com/pghsource over the other way? I hope i am explaining this thoroughly ... if not let me know. Help! Thanks in advance... Chris
Google does not like a 302 redirect. Do you know the way Godaddy is masking/redirecting? Well server header check on http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource shows a 301 in place so 302 is not causing problem. Shannon
I had a site that I was originally directing via go daddy, and google didn't like it much at all. Even after I moved it, it took a while to get Google to index other pages. I don't know why, but there seems like there is something it doesn't like.
So you are redirecting http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource to http://pghsource.cagintranet.com? Do you see in your logs that Google ever tries to access http://pghsource.cagintranet.com directly? How long ago did you set up both http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource and http://pghsource.cagintranet.com and the redirect from one to another?
bash-2.05b$ telnet cagintranet.com 80 Trying 64.202.163.153... Connected to cagintranet.com. Escape character is '^]'. get http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>301 Moved Permanently</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>Moved Permanently</H1> The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource/">here</A>.<P> <HR> <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.31 Server at www.cagintranet.com Port 80</ADDRESS> </BODY></HTML> Connection closed by foreign host. Seems like what you set up is a forward (mod_rewrite) not a redirect. The redirect you set up is permanently redirecting to itself: http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource to http://www.cagintranet.com/pghsource/ Confusing to me I bet to Google as well
Thanks for all the input... i think i am going to try changing my links to the standard www.cagintranet.com/pghsource - see if that makes any difference. for the question.. this site was setup like this for about 1.5 months now.
