Htaccess file help
-
Hi, thanks for looking
i am trying (and failing) to write a htaccess for the following scenario
<colgroup><col width="679"></colgroup>
http://www.gardening-services-edinburgh.com/index.html http://www.gardening-services-edinburgh.com
http://www.gardening-services-edinburgh.com/
|
so that all of these destinations goto the one resource

When I try the url mobile.gardening-services-edinburgh.com/index.html it seems it's being redirected to http://mobile.gardening-services-edinburgh.com/Mobile/ which is generating a 302 to the lost page.
Could you try to take out the last 2 lines - they don't seem to work (adding the trailing slash) and I fear that they are generating this issue.
Like most people on this forum I am not really an expert in regex - you could always try to put your question on a forum like stackoverflow - which is much more technically oriented.

Hi,
Normally these rules should do the trick:
RewriteEngine On
removes the index (source:http://dense13.com/blog/2012/10/29/removing-index-html-with-mod_rewrite-in-htaccess/)
RewriteRule ^index.html$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]adds a trailing slash (source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21417263/htaccess-add-remove-trailing-slash-from-url)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L,R=301]Dirk

Help Setting Up 301 Redirects from Coldfusion Site to Wordpress Site.
I have created a new website and need to redirect all of the previous pages to the new one. The old website was built in coldfusion and the new site is built in wordpress. One of the pages I'm trying to redirect is www.norriseal.com/products.cfm to http://norrisealwellmark.com/products/. This is what I have in my .htaccess file <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">Options +FollowSymlinks

How should I properly setup my .htaccess file?
I have searched google for 'how to setup .htaccess file' and it seems that every website has some variation. For example: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L] On SEOMOZ someone posted this: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com [NC] RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301] On yet another website, I found this: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your-site.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301] As you can see there are slight differences. Which one do I use? I'm on Apache CentOS and I have HTML5 websites and several Joomla! wesites. Would the HTACCESS File be different for both?

My .htaccess has changed, what do i do to avoid it again...?
Hello Today i notice that our site did not auto changed from without www to with, when i checked the .htaccess file i notice # in-front of each line and i know we did not insert it in there, after i removed it it worked fine. The only changes that we did recently was to a mobile version to the site but the call to autodirect is in a JS and not in the .htaccess, could it be the server..? is there any way that anything else might cause this...? The site is HTML and WP could it be because of that...? Thank's Simo

Buddy Press Nightmare Please Help
I had several pages that were in the top five spots on google and the only thing I changed on my site was adding buddypress so I can have a social community. I checked my campaign and realized I had 560 errors with duplicate content and my rankings dropped down passed 50 spots. Huge drop. I am taking buddypress down but does anyone know how to fix the duplicate content issue. 1. Do I just delete all the pages? 2. 301 redirect them to home? Any help would be amazing. Thanks

Help needed regarding managing client expectations - tricky situation
I will try to explain the scenario as quickly as possible and my hope is that someone can share their opinion on how they would move forward. I was introduced to a local business owner who said he wanted help with SEO. Upon looking at his current online marketing, I saw he had 2 current sites promoting the same local business (martial arts instruction / classes). Why he had two sites? He said it made it easier for him to dominate in Google. Red Flag #1. Upon doing a quick site audit, I found a ton of problems with the existing site. Black text on a black background, keyword stuffing in title tags, non-canonicalization, no xml sitemap, no Google analytics installed...on and on. In addition, the site did not really have a good look to it graphically. I told him that I recommend a fresh new site using Wordpress and that we should build the content with the focus on explaining the benefits of the classes. He agreed and we began development of a new Wordpress site from the ground up. We built a sitemap, wireframe, nice design, etc. The site looks much better and we got rid of a lot of the technical problems with the site. The problem is this: Even though the new site is technically better based on On Page analysis, it is not showing up anywhere in the Top for localized keywords. The site has been live for about 2 1/2 months (March 1). I made the mistake of telling him that in a lot of cases in the past, I was able to build a new site for other clients that would rank well for localized searches based on On Page optimization alone. This is not happening for him with the new site. The new domain is relatively new (less than a year old) and has no links at all at this point. I recommended that we do a 301 redirect from his existing domain to the new one but he is skeptical and I almost can't blame him. The client is not paying me to do any SEO. The contract was to build a new site that would be built with best SEO On Page practices (Title Tags, Header Tags, Meta Desc., XML Sitemap, canonicalization, etc.) I hesitate to post the links to his existing site and the new one we built but I can see where that may shed some more light on the subject. If interested in taking a look, please send me a message. I guess the two questions are this: 1. Is it reasonable for a site to rank well for a localized non-competitive term based on A scores of on page analysis? 2. What harm or foul is there in doing a 301 redirect from the old domain to the new one and then reverting back if he decides that the move hurt his rankings more than helped? Thanks.

New to rich snippets, help needed
Hi, I have an online store selling mens business attire in Australia. I have had my developers add the required code to allow rich snippets. You can see the result here http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjsshirts.com.au%2Fmens-business-shirts%2Fclassic-fit%2Fsky-blue-poplin-classic-fit-shirt.html&view=cse I have few questions 1.How can I change the product description? Is it possible to use the product Meta Tag as the description? 2.Under the stars and the review count is this text. The excerpt from the page will show up here. The reason we can't show text from your webpage is because the text depends on the query the user types. Should whateever product description I have used show up here? 3.Is there anything else I need to do to get SERP's to show the snippet? Many thanks for any answers, Jason

A website that will not load on a particular computer? Help Me Please!
We took on a new client about two weeks ago, took them off a proprietary CMS, placed them on a WordPress site, optimized the site, etc. and were finishing up small details three days ago. My PC in my personal office all of a sudden would not load the site from a Google search, from a direct url, etc.
Technical SEO | | RobertFisher
Our office was using a D-Link wireless router but my PC is hardwired in the office. I cranked up my MacBook Pro with solid state drive (6 months old), got on wireless, and....site would not load. PC's and Macs in offices around me would all load the site. A search online brought up a fix for the PC and tried it - did not work, had lead dev try it - did not work, called a server side friend and he had never heard of such a thing. Every fix revolved around changing IP addresses, etc. I uninstalled my antivirus programs on my PC, installed every update that was outstanding, there was no new software installed on either box prior to problem. Can you help??? Is there any chance someone not associated with us and just looking for my client or someone entering a direct url could experience?0 -
Does removing product listings help raise SERP's on other pages?
Does removing content ever make sense? We have out of stock products that are left on the site (in an out of stock section) specifically for SEO value, but I am not sure how to approach the problem from a bottom line conversion stand point. Do we leave out of stock products and hope that they turn into a conversion rate via cross selling, or do out of stock products lower the value of other pages by "stealing" link juice and pagerank from the rest of the site? (and effectively driving interest away) What is your perspective? Do you believe that any content that is related or semi-related to your main focus is beneficial, or does it only make sense to have strong content that has a higher rate of conversion and overall site engagement?
