Last Ditch Effort

I still can't get www.WarmSentiments.com to validate

I've tried the hybrid ASP/PHP solution and the pure ASP solution, both with the lastest code. Pure ASP is running now.

Ads and pixel are visible on the page:

www.warmsentiments.com/index.asp

The site is directly addressable at http://216.244.99.176/

The error message I get is:
Ads not found on http://www.warmsentiments.com/

If I try useing IP, I get:
Ads not found on http://216.244.99.176/

I've got the Network running on over 30 of my own sites. Some use pure ASP, others the ASP/PHP hybrid. Some I host on my own server, others are out on commercial servers.

Shawn mentioned it was something to to with IP.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try next?

Thanks,

 

Your base URL actively redirects to index.asp - that could well be it.

Hold the phones, it's '200' so doesn't seem to be it although the address bar behaviour suggested a 301.

Is your site not blocked by Shawn's system for not caching properly somewhere down the line?

 

Hey TOPS

The site was recently rewritten from static HTML to ASP. All the HTML files were indexed in G, so he didn't want to delete them. What he did was put a Javascript redirect on the INDEX.HTML (only that page) to send to INDEX.ASP, and redid all the navigation to point to the .ASP files. As the HTML's fall out of the index, we'll delete.

As far as being blocked, I don't know. I wouldn't think so, since it's never run Ad Network ads before....

Thanks for the suggestions!

 

[As a side note] I'd get rid of the JS redirect and use a 301

 

I still find it suspicious that it redirects (though tools like http://www.seologic.com/webmaster-tools/url-redirect.php don't record other than a simple pahe found '200').

Yuo might want to try and delete the old html for a minute and try (as long as it resolves to index.asp without actually changinf the url from .com/ to .com/index.asp it should be OK) validating.

 

Alas, it doesn't recognize INDEX.ASP when I delete INDEX.HTM

The redirect is a simple window.location Javascript - nothing sneaky.

How do you do a 301 from an HTML page. I know how to do response.header from an ASP page to do a 301, but not how to do it from an HTML.

His host is one of these emcommerce hosts where you sign up. From what I've heard, their support has been less than stellar when he needs something. Don't know if they will add INDEX.ASP to the default list for him or not.

I even tried copying the Co-op code off an ASP page and pasting into the HTMs to see if that worked... no go.

Thansk to all for the help-

 

The Co-op won't validate on redirected pages / aredirected base url so you will have to get rid of everything between .com/ and it loading index.asp . Normally this is the case if you delete all deault files like index.html index.htm index.php default.htm etc.

 

Thanks TOPS

I'll have him see if he can get his host to add INDEX.ASP to the default file list.

 

You are the man. Your advice paid off. Thanks!!!!

Two weeks of scratching my head, finally live.

 

Good to hear. Always glad to help fellow DPers out.

It was the redirect then I take it?

 

Yes, it was the redirect. Although the host didn't recognize INDEX.ASP as a default, it took DEFAULT.ASP. INce we changed the name, validation followed.

Thanks TOPS!

 

Yes, it was the redirect.

 

Hey guys, which ASP version are you using? Can you please place a link to it?
thanks
