Why does this show up in my browser/index2.php
-
i type is a clients site and BOOM...it suddenly ends with "index2.php" who will link to that?
I can't seem to make it not appear...according the template creator...
Is this "index2.php" affecting my link juice?
-
I agree, also added if its not in the HT ACCESS then have a look in the cpanel. Some cpanel hosting allows you to redirect within the panel. Can cause a bit of a headache if you arent aware of it and are looking somewhere else.
-
I don't think having index2.php as the main loading page is a huge issue, I've seen heaps of sites with high PR and they 301 to longer urls eg: www.url.com/page-1?.aspx or something along those lines.
But it is a good idea not to use index2.php, just check the htaccess. you will find a line or 2 with 301 redirect to index2.php.
-
k..what can I ask of the site host and creator(bth the same) to solve it..I already have a 301 re direct on that home page...
-
To be honest your clients home page should not be on a index2.php, even with a 301 re direct in place full anchor text value is not passed on.
you could also run into multiple page issues, I would implement a canonical tag too once the problem is fixed.
Further more just have the home page run off "www.domainname.com"

NGinx rule for redirecting trailing '/'
We have successfully implemented run-of-the-mill 301s from old URLs to new (there were about 3,000 products). As normal. Like we do on every other site etc. However, recently search console has started to report a number of 404s with the page names with a trailing forward slash at the end of the .html suffix. So, /old-url.html is redirecting (301) to /new-url.html However, now for some reason /old-url.html/ has 'popped up' in the Search Console crawl report as a 404. Is there a 'blobal' rule you can write in nGinx to say redirect *.html/ to */html (without the forward slash) rather than manually doing them all?

Why are these m. results showing as blocked?
If you go to http://bit.ly/173gdWK, you'll see that m. results are showing as blocked by robots.txt, but we don't have anything in our robots.txt file that specifies to block m. results. Any ideas why these URLs show as blocked?

Canonical / 301 Redundancy
Suppose I have two dynamic URLs that lead to the identical page: www.example.com/product.php?x=1&y=1 and www.example.com/product.php?y=1 The x=1 parameter had some historical meaning, but is now unused. All references to the x=1 parameter have been removed from internal links and sitemaps. I have implemented two solutions: First, the header of www.example.com/product.php?x=1&y=1 includes: Second, the .htaccess file includes the following: Redirect permanent /product.php?x=1&y=1 http://www.example.com/product.php?y=1 Questions: 1. I assume that since canonical is still relatively new, it's best to play it safe and implement both solutions. Is this correct? 2. When I point my browser to www.example.com/product.php?x=1&y=1, it does NOT redirect to www.example.com/product.php?y=1. The address bar continues to show the non-canonical URL. Is this because the canonical tag somehow takes precedence over the 301 redirect? 3. How long will Google Webmaster Tools continue to show these as duplicates, even though I've implemeted BOTH canonical and 301? It's been a few weeks and I thought it would have rolled off by now. Thanks!

How to get videos to show up on SERPs as your own
If another site hosts the video and you show it on your site in an iframe, would the video show up in SERPs on your URL? I believe it would show up on their URL. Do you need to host the video on your own server in order for it to show up on SERPs?
