Redirect in Header

    I recently submitted my site to Scrub the Web. It came back with this error message:

    Warning: (Click on the ? icon to your left for more information) The URL you entered sent a redirect Location: HEADER response. Below are the redirect Location: HEADER responses sent by your Web server which the analyzer followed in the order received:

    Redirect URL: http://selfpublishingreview.com/

    Redirection like this can cause problems with all major search engines and is the reason for our warning. The report below is based on the information found at the final URL location shown above and is the URL we recommend is submitted to search engines until you solve this problem.


    I've noticed that even if I select a redirect to www.selfpublishingreview.com in Google webmaster tools, it redirects to http://selfpublishingreview.com.

    Wondering if this is really a problem and how I can fix it. Thanks.

    what hosting your domain ?

    check your .httaccess
    or you can add this code into your .httaccess manually

    Thanks. I'm using Bluehost. I'd like confirmation on adding that code because I've screwed up messing with my htaccess file before.

    OK, so what would the resulting httaccess file look like? Need to delete anything from here - like the second RewriteRule? I'm very much a noob at this.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^selfpublishingreview.com
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress
