Problem with re-direction
-
Please help me to solve a problem with redirection. I re-do the
site and move it to new domain page-by-page as recommended.I use WordPress Redirect plugin. I did everything as written 10
days ago but don't see redirection.For example, old page http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
New page http://njcruise.org/alaska-cruise-tour/
Where is a problem? How to solve it?

If you have trouble tomorrow, add me on Facebook or skype and I'll try and chat you through it.

Thank you!!! I will try tomorrow.

The entire documentation is here: http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
I haven't used this plugin - only Simple 301s - not Redirection. So I'm not entirely sure if they want the whole URL but it should be simple to test. I would think you would put in the http:// but try it without - maybe that's the issue?
-
Matt, please clarify format for request. It has to be the whole address as http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485 or /aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
Thank you!
-
No worries! Let us know how it goes.

Thank you Matt!

Yes, don't use the plugin on NJCruise - just Aurora.
If they don't work, just deactivate (don't remove) the plugin and try the one I linked above (Simple 301s) It's a much easier plugin and it should work easily. If not, you can always delete Simple 301s and reactivate Redirection - so you'd still have all your work.
-
Right now I have on both! This is because I didn't know what to do! So, remove redirection from NJcruise? Thank you!

Hello Nadejda.
I see the plugin is installed on your aurora17 blog, but as you say, it isn't working.
Your old site has several problems, but it appears it does know how to redirect, but the plugin, not the apache server would be doing the redirecting if you set it up correctly.
Are you sure you set the redirects on Aurora and not on NJCruise?
-
You set up the plugin exactly as I said and it didn't work? That's odd. I think it's the way we're writing URLs then.
Deactivate the plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-301-redirects/
Install and try Simple 301s ... try that. If it doesn't work, we'll keep working on the URLs for the first plugin but this should make your life better in like 5 minutes.

Thank you Matt! I used redirection plugin on NJcruise.org but noticed that this doesn't work. I switched to aurora17.com - the same issue. I changed the plugin - no result. Your suggestion? Thank you!
-
The problem is on aurora17.com - your Wordpress Redirect plugin is not working for some reason.
You're using this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/ ?
Source URL: http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
Target URL: http://njcruise.org/alaska-cruise-tour/
Type: Simple redirection
Method: 301
Then you just push "Add redirection" - it should be ok? Is the plugin activated on Aurora or NJCruise? You want it on Aurora to "push" the URLs to the new site. More info if you can...

How are Server side redirects perceived compared to direct links (on a Directory site)
Hi, Im creating some listings for a client on a relevant b2b directory (a good quality directory) I asked if the links are 'followed' or no 'followed' and they said they are 'server side redirects' so no direct links. Does anyone know how these are likely to be perceived by Google ? All BEst Dan

BingHoo Tools No Longer Directly Supporting AJAX
This post was derived from the fact that our website, which uses AJAX and AJAX urls formatted using Google's crawl guidelines (and ranks well), is being completely misread by BingHoo's bots (and destroying our rankings). After some research, we found that Bing's tools used to contain an option for their crawlers to interpret AJAX-infused urls, but that this feature was removed with the latest update. I've seen others post on this issue with no response, so I figured I'd post the customer support email we received below - kind of strange thing to receive. Takeaway - even AJAX done right is rough in BingHoo. (sorry I can't post my site here..). Hello, This is Roxanne of Bing Technical Support and I will be assisting you with this issue. I understand that you cannot find the Configure Bing for AJAX Crawling box in Bing Webmaster. Let me explain. We appreciate your feedback about Bing Webmaster tools. We regret to inform you that Bing Webmaster Tools is no longer directly supporting AJAX. We'll pass this feedback onto our Bing development team. If you are having ajax-specific related issues with your site in Webmaster tools, please let us know. We apologize for the time spent and the inconvenience this may have caused you. If you should require further clarification and need more assistance, please feel free to reply to this email. Thank you and have a great day! Regards, Roxanne Bing Technical Support

Robots.txt file getting a 500 error - is this a problem?
Hello all! While doing some routine health checks on a few of our client sites, I spotted that a new client of ours - who's website was not designed built by us - is returning a 500 internal server error when I try to look at the robots.txt file. As we don't host / maintain their site, I would have to go through their head office to get this changed, which isn't a problem but I just wanted to check whether this error will actually be having a negative effect on their site / whether there's a benefit to getting this changed? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Operating from the Netherlands with customers troughout Europe we have for some countries the same content. In the netherlands and Belgium Dutch is spoken and in Germany and Switserland German is spoken. For these countries the same content is provided. Does Google see this as duplicate content?
