hello everyone this is my 1st post. I just had a question about redirects. The main content of my site is in a different folder inside my public html dir, i have a redirct pointing to the correct place. Will this effect spiders?? Also im getting crawled by slurp and ask jeeves but not googlebot...even after a URL submit :-? site is only 2 weeks old but how long does it normally take for googlebot to come pay a visit?
Build it and G will come... Your redirect should not have any detrimental effect. And don't lose any sleep over G not visiting yet. It will, but no one can predict when. Put a link to your site from another existing site, that's usually all it takes.
