Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Anthony, Thanks for your reply. Does that mean that I should actually remove index.html from my website. Also please help me for 301 redirect. Rgds Arti

While link building, should I link to index page of my website i.e www.mydomainname.com/index.html or should I link to root domain i.e www.mydomainname,com

Also I see duplicate title error for index page and root domain in error statistic. How can I get rid of this.

I am planning to remove some of the webpages from my website and these webpages are already indexed with search engine. Is there any way by which I need to inform search engine that these pages are no more available.

I am not able to do link building from like minded websites. Hence I am planning to go for following approach :

By creating links to my website on blogspots (using comments).
Participating in question / answer forum on the websites meant for r asking questions for different categories.
Writing articles on good ranking websites and creating links.
Participating in Social media websites

Please let me know if this will help me. Any other possible way apart from these?

My website is having around 170 K webpages and every web page is meant for individual keyword. e.g. keyword for every page is height of a movie star.

What should be my link building strategy

1. Should I link other sites to index page of my website (if yes then what should be the anchor text) ?

2. Should I link other websites to individual web pages of my website.

I have 170 K pages on my website which I want to be indexed. I have created a multiple HTML sitemaps (e.g. sitemap1.html, sitemap2.html,...etc) with each sitemap page having 3000 links.

Is this right approach or should i switch to xml based sitemaps and that too multiple one.

Please suggest.
