Thanks for this! It wasn't working for me initially, and asked around. looks like you missed a "]" in the first line. So it should be:

if(isset($_GET['redirect'])){

I was able to get it to work at the root domain. A.com --> C.com

After getting this all sorted out though, I realize that I really wanted a pop up screen that could be closed, and that it would require me to spend even more time on it, and trying to add javascript as well. I decided to just scrap the idea.

Another problem I had was that the ?redirect=true at the end of the URL, messed up the direct linking to subpages and posts as well. So instead of :

C.com/blogpost-20 I would get C.com?redirect=true/blogpost-20.

Since there is no such page, it just returned the contents from the home page.

I appreciate your help though. It just seems like more effort that I want to put in, and probably more than the client wants to pay for.

I know this one is a little more technical than pure SEO, but it somewhat ties in.

I'm redirecting 2 sites to one. The companies have combined, and I've imported all their content that has been created, and the url mapping is set up correctly.

So it currently is set up like this:

A.com --> C.com
A.com/blogpost-1 --> C.com/blogpost-1

B.com --> C.com B.com/blogpost-20 --> C.com/blogpost-20

What i would like is some method a redirect when landing at C.com or C.com/blogpost-XX.

And in turn display a message in a DIV so I can style it.

And yes, I have nothing better to do on a Friday night

Sure thing brother!

Hi Ryan,

Yes, I just did a search for the text I found in the Lightbox description for the Coco & Max logo. Right there. I've attached a couple images to show what I found.

Is this underneath a Javascript?  I'd be interested to learn about the differences between different scripts as I see myself building sites that I would like to use the most SEO beneficial one.

Hey Ryan,

The Original Poster is actually talking about the text descriptions of each logo that is listed.

The easy way to figure this out is to look in the HTML. If it's real text, then Google can crawl it. In your case it is. 
So the content you have will be indexed.

And you can do as Ryan suggested and add Alt Attribute to each image. It will help as well.

Agreed for sure. That is actually what I tell my clients.

And I myself follow the same practice. I'm very involved on Facebook, increasingly involved on Twitter, and do a little on Flickr.

But the About.me site is a very interesting one. There is very little method to interact with other members as of now, but do see a great opportunity to being on there. I was just wondering for sites like these if there was a better way to get them indexed.

Thanks for the response.

There has been a lot of talk lately around social profiles potentially improving your brand as well as search.

What I'd like to know is the best practices for getting those social profiles crawled and indexed so they actually provide a good link to my site.

I'm also wondering what the difference between what Linkscape sees and what Google sees and when I'm looking at Open Site Explorer's rankings on one of those social profiles how can I be sure that Google sees it the same way.

I ask this because a lot of these profiles are not well internally linked to. An example is about.me, it's a potentially great link, but it's essentially an island, and even after dropping a couple Twitter links to my profile, Open Site Explorer shows and Page Authority of 1, and it's not even indexed with Google.

What I did last night was put a link to my about.me, flickr and wedding wire in my Connect menu drop down on my site to get that crawled hopefully soon.

Are there other methods of getting those crawled and indexed so it starts passing some juice?
What do you guys do?

Both Ryans are spot on. If you are not sure if it is a CSS coded menu or not, I would suggest posting the URL to your site so one of us can tell you.
