Hello guys, Help!!!! I had my site in http://blog.web6.org and changed it to http://www.blog.web6.org I checked this morning in webmaster tool, there are problems: 1. My robots.txt file : http://blog.web6.org/robots.txt which is still achievable. But it doesn't redirect me to http://www.blog.web6.org/robots.txt. Should i redirect it with 301 ht access? 2. My sitemap has error because: Sitemap URL is : http://blog.web6.org/sitemap.xml which is not true. So i changed my robots.txt change the sitemap URL line to http with www in order to tell Google that's my sitemap URL. Did i do it right? Some one has any idea or suggestions? Thanks a bunch in advance!
Hey amarketforce, Thanks so much for replying. Well, i did create my sitemap a month ago, but i changed the www URL last week anyways I delete my blog.web6.org in webmaster tool and resubmit my http://www.
Hi chandan123, Thanks for replying. How to 301 redirect this: http://blog.web6.org/sitemap.xml to http://www.blog.web6.org/sitemap.xml? I have tried : and but those don't work?
Your domain has to match the URLs in sitemap file and what submitted to Google Webmaster Tools. So you will need to regenerate your sitemap if you changed www vs non-www. See this article about duplicate urls.
Hey ThomasSchulz I guess it doesn't matter now, I followed this article: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=1d6b15682a2881e2&hl=en Now i will wait and see what will happen lol, Thanks a bunch for your reply!
Chandan123!! Thank you so much, I actually did R=301 instead of R=permanent, but after reading your post, i change to permanent LOL. Cheers!
Okay, I realized redirect it via .htaccess makes trouble, people from google will be landed on my index.php so i delete those codes, and i tried to come from google, it works again. Odd
