URL Understanding -

Thanks very much for your help!

Perhaps you could submit (or resubmit) a XML sitemap, alternatively use the "fetch as Googlebot" for the "old" URL. That way, Googlebot should see the redirect.
Good luck.

The Google bot did visit the page and i don't think this is a new rule, it has been done before. How can I get Google Bot to crawl my pages?

Hi Oscar.
Is the redirect rule somewhat new? Perhaps the /Product.asp?PID=1236 was indexed before and GoogleBot has not yet made another visit to this page?

Hi Anders,
I checked and there are redirects on those pages but why in GWT appears as duplicate title tag and description?
-
Thanks for your help!
I am going to look into it but I have so many like it within GWT.
I will talk to the developer and see what he says.
Cheers

It appear to do a redirect to a URL within the product-folder, add the product name as a subfolder, and add the SKU# as the last part of the URL.
The two URLs should not cause any duplicate issues, as the http://www.repsole.com/Product.asp?PID=1236 does a proper 301 Redirect to the user friendly URL..
Best regards,

It does redirect to a user friendly url but I have no idea what that url represents. Also it causes duplicate issues with the site.

Hi!
The URL Product.asp?PID=1236 redirects to a more semantic("user friendly") URL. Or did you perhaps think of something else?
Hope this helps

Urls Too Long - Should I shorten?
On the crawl of our website we have had a warning that 157 have urls that are too long. When I look at the urls they are generally from 2016 or earlier. Should I just leave them as they are or shorten the urls and redirect to new url? Thanks

Vanity URLs are being indexed in Google
We are currently using vanity URLs to track offline marketing, the vanity URL is structured as www.clientdomain.com/publication, this URL then is 302 redirected to the actual URL on the website not a custom landing page. The resulting redirected URL looks like: www.clientdomain.com/xyzpage?utm_source=print&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=printcampaign. We have started to notice that some of the vanity URLs are being indexed in Google search. To prevent this from happening should we be using a 301 redirect instead of a 302 and will the Google index ignore the utm parameters in the URL that is being 301 redirect to? If not, any suggestions on how to handle? Thanks,

URL gets cut off in Google
Hi everybody, I got a question concerning my website URLs. It's a large WordPress website and we've got a lot of categorised pages ('parent' / 'child'). Now when I search for a specific page I only get to see the 'parent' name in the URL. The page which I am looking for isn't visible. Only a small arrow which shows me 2 options (in cache and compare). The URLs are not too long. Does anybody know why this happens, and how I can solve it? I added a image for reference. (Where /partners/ is the parent page and /partners/aruba/ isn't visible) Thank you very much. LSsT1Ua

URL redirect question
Hi all, Just wondering whether anybody has experience of CMSs that do a double redirect and what affect that has on rankings. here's the example /page.htm is 301 redirected to /page.html which is 301 redirected to /page As Google has stated that 301 redirects pass on benefits to the new page, would a double redirect do the same? Looking forward to hearing your views.

.htaccess: Multiple URLs catches filename
Hi, I have the following line in my .htaccess:
Technical SEO | | rasmusbang
RewriteRule privacy stdpage.php?slug=privacy [L] So if you go to the www.mysite.com/privacy it takes the stdpage.php with the argument above. But if you go to www.mysite.com/privacysssssssss catches the same file. How can I prevent this? It will give me multiple URLs with the exact same content. I have a 404 page which i would like to show instead when the match is not 100%. -Rasmus0 -
What are the SEO implications of URLs that use a # in them?
I have several clients who have begun to ask questions about sites that are designed to look like a single page. When you click on a link, the URL changes but it uses a # before (i.e. http://www.kelloggs.com/teamusa**/#**/teamusa/athletes/kerri-walsh.html. What are the SEO implications of having a page set up this way? I noticed that Google has indexed this page but the indexed URL does not include a #. Is Google indexing a separate version of this page? Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks

Canonical URL Issue
Hi Everyone, I'm fairly new here and I've been browsing around for a good answer for an issue that is driving me nuts here. I tried to put the canonical url for my website and on the first 5 or 6 pages I added the following script SEOMoz reported that there was a problem with it. I spoke to another friend and he said that it looks like it's right and there is nothing wrong but still I get the same error. For the URL http://www.cacaniqueis.com.br/video-caca-niqueis.html I used the following: <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="http://www.cacaniqueis.com.br/video-caca-niqueis.html" /> Is there anything wrong with it? Many thanks in advance for the attention to my question.. 🙂 Alex

Lost FaceBook Shares with URL change
I recently changed the URL of a page and used a 301 redirect from old to new. I just realized I lost all my Facebook shares. Now it shows 0 on that page. What can I do to get back my count of shares? I cannot find any information.
