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

Does Google use 302's to pass value to the target page?
Hi, I've received the below advice, is this correct? Throughout the site, the 302 (moved temporarily) status code is used for redirects, which Google will use to pass value to the target page. Is this correct? I was under the impression a 301 was used to pass value to the target page? Could someone explain the difference between a 301 and a 302, I'm not 100% sure. Thanks, Nathan

Google is showing the "wrong" page in the serps for user queries
Our site, cpuboss.com has two main types of pages: comparisons of CPUs, and pages about individual CPUs. When I google search for "fx8350", a keyword for the cpu "AMD FX-8350", I hoped to see our CPU page ranking, instead I see a comparison of this CPU against another. http://i.imgur.com/QwNczDj.png?1 (Our page ranks #5) Any idea? Many of our comparisons rank for CPU keywords, when I think it'd be a better experience for the user if our cpu pages ranked instead. This particular CPU page is linked to on our homepage with appropriate anchor text, and linked to on that comparison also. I would have hoped the relevance of the cpu page to this keyword would be stronger than the comparison page, and google might use that relevance signal to show the user the right page. thoughts?

Only homepage in Google
Hello SEOmozzers, A colleague of mine started up a site here: www.wikiboedel.nl. Sadly only the homepage is indexed in Google. It's a wordpress install. Robots.txt seems fine, all pages are on index and follow. Can't see why only the home is indexed in Google. Do you know whats going wrong? Please tell me. Tank you.

Source page leading to a 404 pages in reports
Hi everybody, I wonder how to find and quickly correct 404 errors in my crawl reports : SeoMoz says me "http://domain.com/this-page-is-dead" is 404, but I can't figure out a source page where a link to that url appears. I tried a google link:http://domain.com/this-page-is-dead request, with no more luck. I imagine the trick is trivial, but I need it 🙂 Moreover, why do not show a list of pages referring to this 404 page on reports ? Thanks, Loïc

On-page: Over optimized images?
Hello guys. I have a small question about an on-page optimization for images. What I have: good title tag / good url structure good content (NOT keyword shuffled, its real content, for real people) images / gallery uploaded to folder named same as article name. For example: Great tips for bloggers [article name], great-tips-for-bloggers [folder name]. So my question is: Will Google harm me for this "too good" paths to images, article related image filenames, with mask like [gtips-img01], and if all images have titles / alt tags? Thank you guys.
