Sadly, although this site is big (over 1000 pages), wolfram alpha doesn't offer the tab that suggests subdomain...

I checked it on a number of sites (seomoz, harvard etc ) and it worked well.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again,

Running this on my Mac, it allowed me to run NSLookup but when it came to listing the subdomains it advised me that 'ls' was not a valid command.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the quick response, what I should have pointed out was that I am currently proposing a Strategy for this site and do not have access to it.

Any further thoughts?

Hi Mozers,

I am trying to find what subdomains are currently active on a particular domain. Is there a way to get a list of this information?

The only way I could think of doing it is to run a google search on;

site:example.com -site:www.example.com

The only issues with this approach is that a majority of the indexed pages exist on the non-www domain and I still have thousands of pages in the results (mainly from the non-www).

Is there another way to do it in Google? OR is there a server admin online tool that will tell me this information?

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Mark,

I personally would run a clean 301 to the new site, then use something like $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] (in PHP) to determine where the user came from.  If it's from the old site, run a small banner in the header (like Hello bar) to advise your users of the change. This would be a lot cleaner for search engines and very user friendly.

Don't forget to transfer the sites worth using webmasters...

Hope this helps.

Another thing to consider is that requesting images from multiple sites will create a lag in load times.  Most modern browsers will download multiple files in parallel from the one host. Multiple hosts will mean the page load will occur in series (not parallel) and this will create a slower load time.

Hope this helps!

Hi Melissa,

I have seen this happen in the past, and it came down to the developer on the site, testing prior transactions where the analytics code would flag as the viewing of the invoices where rendered on the site.

Did you start running GA eCommerce code after the site was already live? Could it be possible that an older transaction (previously not recorded by GA) may be the cause? Can you view the transaction ID's to see if they are consistent as there may be a one or more not in the same ID range for the last month...

Hope this helps!

Dan
