I am working on a site that had several URLs that redirected to the homepage. For example: http://www.bluewatermedia.com/new-york-web-design.shtml redirects to the homepage. And consequently Google indexes the homepage as it thinks the page has moved. All of that makes sense... However, I am now creating actual pages for these previously-redirected URLs. For example: http://www.bluewatermedia.com/washington-dc-web-design.shtml However, Google still only indexes the homepage instead of the actual page at that URL. View the cached page in google. So, my question is this... Google seems as though it doesn't want to update the cache of this page - it still thinks the page has been "moved" to the homepage. How do i get google to index the actual page and undo the effect of the redirect?
Here's another interesting thing i just found. Yahoo has two different caches of tis page: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=ht....shtml&fr=yfp-t-471&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8
I deleted the sitemap in google webmaster tools and re-submitted a new one. Is that what you mean by "force" a resubmit?
