Html code for none .index
-
In the diagnostic I have several errors in Duplicate Page Content and Title. The thing is that the errors is on the same page but with "different" names. One is called http://siteX.com/ another is called http://www.siteX.com/ and the same third one is called
http://www.siteX.com/index.htmlHow do I go about changing all three sites, I have changed the /index.html one but dont know how to catch the other once. Is it possible, if it is I would like to know how?
-
An other thing.
I missed changing the example.com to my site and no it goes to example.com, even if I change it or even delete the file...still there.
I there a way to go around it?
-
I have done the following, is that correct? If it is why cant I see any directions, for ex. I put www.siteX.com/index.html or siteX.com and get the same ?
-FrontPage-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://example.com/ [R=301,L]IndexIgnore .htaccess /.?? *~ *# /HEADER /README /_vti
<limit get="" post="">order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all</limit>
<limit put="" delete="">order deny,allow
deny from all</limit> -
Okay, the fact you already have an .htaccess file means you should be able to try adding the rules I provided. Put them at the top of the .htaccess file and test.

Please take what I say below with a grain of salt, as I am very good with .htaccess, but not so great when Frontpage is in the loop. Also back up ALL files before making ANY changes for quick replace if creates a "Internal Server Error"
_vti_bin/
_vti_adm
_vti_authShould be in your structure, each with an .htaccess
add the line
Options +FollowSymlinks
to each one
Now the just add everything streamline metrics has suggested, to the current .htaccess and test
You can try adding what streamline metrics suggests, without the above steps, as .htaccess is not dependent on Frontpage, and the Frontpage extensions have nothing to do with .htaccess (from research i found on the web)
-
I am not sure what kind of server I have but this is whats in my .htaccess
-FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess /.?? *~ *# /HEADER /README /_vti
<limit get="" post="">order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all</limit>
<limit put="" delete="">order deny,allow
deny from all</limit>How do I do it?
-
The first step would be to redirect the http://siteX.com to http://www.siteX.com or vice versa. You can easily do this with .htaccess if you have a LAMP server. Here is the code to put in your .htaccess to redirect from non-www to www (replace example.com with your site name) -
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]As for handling http://siteX.com/index.html, simply redirect that as well with .htaccess -
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://example.com/ [R=301,L]I would also suggest adding a rel="canonical" tag to your pages just in case the search engines come across URLs with parameters, such as index.html?q=1235 then they know to index only the version of the page you designated.
Hope that helps!

OMG! does Google really consider text-decoration:none as a hidden link?
So I was reading this article today https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/hidden-links/ Can setting a link to the same color as regular text and applying text-decoration:none really be considered a 'hidden link'?

HTML Site SEO (NO CMS)
I have got a client site, which is dated (2007) and has not been shifted to any recognised CMS yet. It is HTML based. Is it possible to SEO on such a site? Is it even worth it? If it is possible to do SEO on this, any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Blocking Subdomain from Google Crawl and Index
Hey everybody, how is it going? I have a simple question, that i need answered. I have a main domain, lets call it domain.com. Recently our company will launch a series of promotions for which we will use cname subdomains, i.e try.domain.com, or buy.domain.com. They will serve a commercial objective, nothing more. What is the best way to block such domains from being indexed in Google, also from counting as a subdomain from the domain.com. Robots.txt, No-follow, etc? Hope to hear from you, Best Regards,

Are there any SEO benefits changing the default home page filename (index.htm) to a keyword rich filename
II'm a newbie. I have a website using the default home page filename: index.htm. I have total control over the web server. I was wondering whether I can get any SEO improvements for my main keyword if I change the default filename with a filename that contains the main keyword, like our-main-product.htm (doing the 301 redirect and changing the server search order, of course)?

Getting pages indexed by Google
Hi SEOMoz, I relaunched a site back in February of this year (www.uniquip.com) with about 1 million URL's. Right now I'm seeing that Google is not going past 110k indexed URL's (based on sitemaps). Do you have any tips on what I can do to make the site more likeable by Google and get more indexed URL's? All the the part pages can be browsed to by going to: http://www.uniquip.com/product-line-card/suppliers/sw-a/p-1 I've tried to make the content as unique as possible by adding random testimonials and random "related part numbers" see here: http://www.uniquip.com/id/246172/electronic-components/infineon/microcontrollers-mcu/sabc161pilfca Do I need to wait more time and be more patient with Google? It just seems like I'm only getting a few thousand URL's per day at the most. Would it help me if I implemented a breadcrumb on all part pages? Thanks, -Carlos

Why isn't SEOMoz using File Extensions (*.html etc) on any of their web page URLs?
...and what is the SEO benefit of this? This video from Matt Cutts suggests using file extentions, except for a directory.
