Google indexing https insted of http pages
-
Hi!
First of all i have a Wordpress portuguese languagem website (**http://**bit.ly/TGjpVx).For a while, for security pourposes, i had a SSL certificate installed on my website but i didn't renew it, for a few months now. I didn't have any special https page. All pages responded using http or https.
My problem is that it seems that Google still indexes some o my webpages with https and not http, so when people click on it they get a bad cached page. No good for SEO, i think.
What can i do about this? I only want Google, and other serach engines, to index my clean http pages (about 70 pages).
Thanks,

Ok, well, bye

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]I guess thre's was line missing that you mencioned.
Thanks Maurizio!

Hi!
Substitute my lines your yours or just add yours?I also found this post (**http://**bit.ly/S5dN4) regarding this same issue. Is it possible that de SSL certificate, even do it's a invalid one, gets served before any redirect?
Regards.

Hi
It's correct but you can try so:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L] -
Hi Maurizio!
First, thanks for your answer.
I have a linux based hosted website and i tryed changing the .htaccess file (see below) but when i click on an indexed https page it isn't redirected and i don't know why.
...
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
...
PS: obviously, i have my real website domain insted of 'www.yourdomain.com'.
Regards.

If i understand better you can do a redirect with .htaccess if you have a linux hosting or directly with IIS with Windows Server, so when someone found your index page (https) and click over, will help the redirect.
Example:
Index page:
https://www.yourdomain.com/page.html
REDIRECT------------------------------------->
http://www.yourdomain.com/page.html

Google changing my Title
I noticed today that Google is showing a different Title in searches for the homepage. It is showing a title which I believe was active as of late last year or early January. The new title is in the title tag, in Google cache and in MOZ crawls as well. Not sure why it would still be showing a different title in the search and wanted to see if anyone can explain the reason. Thanks

Too many links per page? Double navigation on every page...
I have a client with navigation across the top of each page plus the same nav links in a sidebar on every page. Can that duplication (or the sheer number of links) on each page have a negative ranking factor?

Please review page for on page SEO
I'm working on an adult dating site review blog and am hoping to build links to the category pages. It's a wordpress blog so the posts are categorised by topics. However can you tell me if there is enough content on the page for google to identify what the page is about? The problem is that the content of each category pages is pulled from the posts. What I think is needed is some static text on the page 2-300 words that use the keyword. Here's an example of a page targeting the keywords 'online dating'. http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/category/online-dating/

Does Google index dynamically generated content/headers, etc.?
To avoid dupe content, we are moving away from a model where we have 30,000 pages, each with a separate URL that looks like /prices/<product-name>/<city><state>, often with dupe content because the product overlaps from city to city, and it's hard to keep 30,000 pages unique, where sometimes the only distinction is the price & the city/state.</state></city></product-name> We are moving to a model with around 300 unique pages, where some of the info that used to be in the url will move to the page itself (headers, etc.) to cut down on dupe content on those unique 300 pages. My question is this. If we have 300 unique-content pages with unique URL's, and we then put some dynamic info (year, city, state) into the page itself, will Google index this dynamic content? The question behind this one is, how do we continue to rank for searches for that product in the city-state being searched without having that info in the URL? Any best practices we should know about?

Sold Products appear as duplicate pages 'Page Not Found' ???
Hi there, I'm down to just 6 duplicate page warnings but I'm not sure how to deal with this one: Information Page Not Found! http://www.vintageheirloom.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=6 My Ecommerce shopping site products are unique, 1 of a kind. So once one product has sold and been delivered we take the product off our website, hence the Information Page Not Found! As I understand when search engines re-index these warnings will drop off but new sold products would replace them. So redirecting seems like hard work and never ending. Is it ok to ignore these warnings? Thanks Mozzers..
