Paul figured it out. You the man!

Hey Aleyda,

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it still won't work. There are 2 other pieces of info in my .htaccess file.

1. Some PHP stuff (not sure what it does)

Use PHP 5.3

AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

2. 301 redirects I did a few days ago (about 30 articles that looks like this)

Redirect 301 /article http://www.example.com/blog/article

Redirect 301 /article2 http://www.example.com/blog/article2

....It must be one of these two remaining issues...?

Tried it,

Same results as above.

Sent you an email.

Tried it, and same result as before.

I've even tried this from SEOmoz:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.seomoz.org [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.seomoz.org/$1 [L,R=301]

....and it gave my server an error. I don't know I guess something funky is going on.

Thanks for the tip Paul, but this method isn't helping me out. I still get:

example.com/page2 redirecting to www.example.com

The redirect result you've given me is what I've gotten from a few other methods as well. Perhaps there is something else at play. In my .htaccess file I have another Rewrite going on before the non www redirect we're discussing now. It is this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

......do you think this could be messing something up for me?

I've done some research but can't find a good answer to this question. Here's my situation:

Site redirects from example.com to www.example.com just fine. However, it doesn't work so well for internal pages.

My site incorrectly redirects (non-www) example.com/page2 to www.example.com when it should instead go to www.example.com/page2

So I need a method to redirect non-www internal pages to www versions. Currently I have this in my .htaccess - do I need to modify the rules?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks

Thanks Phil. I almost gave up on this question!

Via another article of yours, I've been able to (I believe) correctly upload a video Sitemap through Wistia. Hopefully this will add another signal to Google to rank the video. Who knows...I'll let you know if I see anything cool.

Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to get a video marked up on my (test) website and it is not working. I was hoping someone around here could lend a hand.

the post is www.zachsemago.com/?p=28

This is my first ever markup attempt. I assume I just put the markup that applies in the appropriate place in the wordpress post. I thought I had it setup right, and the google rich snippet testing tool told me it extracted some video data. I chose to rank for something without competition so I targeted "how to buy a car on jupiter, mars". The post shows up #1 for that term and some other related ones, but no video.

I thought I had covered all my bases, can someone please take a peek and let me know if I'm screwing up somewhere?

FYI, I don't have a video sitemap operating. Of the articles I read, it seemed a video sitemap was not mandatory. But regardless my brain has turned to mush on the subject so if I should/shouldn't use one pleas tell!

Thanks
