I just started to get indexed on google on a new domain. and google is indexing the top domain. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&q=site:gigadora.com&btnG=Search I redirect http://gigadora.com to http://gigadora.com/forums but its indexing the home page. How can I stop this?
using robots.txt to stop google crawling my root domain we be hassel as i would need to put every other file allow.
If you want an SE to consider another page instead of an existing one, use a 301 (permanent redirect). Even so, this will take time to propagate. Your root page for your domain can be a very important page in your site. Forcing SEs to ignore it and skip to another page could cost you some opportunities. If you want your target page to be the main page for your site, why not install the target content IN your root area?
