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!

Ad server not indexed
Hello guys, My client is using an ad server (not sure if i am allowed to tell which one so I will not for now) installed at ads.clientsite.com. It is using noindex, nofollow for preventing Google to index it but also it is blocking like 90 000 other pages on clientsite.com to be indexed/crawled. The guy that applied the noindex tag it is no longer here so I cannot ask him about the logic behind those noindex tags. How big could be the damage to clientsite.com if I will remove the noindex tag from the ad server (ads.clientsite.com? If needed I can PM you the ad server platform we are using, Regards, Ed

Does blogging with a wysiwyg negatively affect SEO (vs. hand coding)?
Many bloggers use a wysiwyg editor to write posts. Are there any drawbacks to wysiwyg vs plain text? When I write blogs I prefer to hand code my text to be sure everything is optimized. My feeling is that wysiwyg leads to code bloat and generally fewer optimization opportunities. I have no real evidence. Is there any reason not to use the wysiwyg editor?

How to block index of link and content
Hi, We have pages where articles are shown and in the sides we have small snippets of Articles which shows the title and close to 25 words and a image. When i search for something in Google the snippet image and content is shown and in Google when clicked it redirects to a page which is not meant to be shown for the keyword the visitor is querying Is there a way i can block all the links and content shown in the right and left side of the page so Google does not get confused with the page content thats not related to that page? thanks

Latent semantic Indexing - Does this help rankings/relevance?
Hi, Does semantically related words to the target term on a page help with rankings/relevance? If your after the term 'PC Screen' and you use the term 'PC Monitor' will go make the connection and also reward you because of the relevance? Anyone do this and have you seen any positives? I've just started to try this out lately and have been combining it with Wordle.net to give me an indication of where the content piece is heading and how aggressive the content leans towards certain words (makes things a little more interesting then calculating densities).

What is html text?
I am using the "page attributes" tool for a guideline for what I am filling in on each page of my website. I feel like I've done my homework on this, but I can't figure out what "html text" is. URL Page Title Meta Description Meta Keywords H1 H2 **HTML Text ** ... not sure what to put here, how long it should be, what it's purpose is, etc. Any SEOMoz links helping me figure that out? I'm not finding it in the "Basics of Search Engine Design" article posted here on SEOMoz.
