Redirected domain related problem - any body help me out?

domain redirection

[versasol]

hello guys,

I have one site. Around 5 years old. Before few months i get redesign my site and redirected my original domain.

for example: the old domain was like www.example.com and redirected current domain is www.example.com/directoryname/index.php.

now i wan to be visible on www.example.com rather than this redirected url "www.example.com/directoryname/index.php"

does it affects my google site ranking as well as google search result ranking?

what do i do? i dont want redirection anymore. I want to show my site on its original domain name.

I really appreciate for your time and response. Please help me out..

Thank you

well yea it does and will. You just can't be flipping the main domain URL around like pancakes.

I can't understand the first redirect for the life of me that in itself was a huge blunder.

I would get rid of that huge ugly www.example.com/directoryname/index.php and 301 it back to my original domain name and just be done with it.
Your more than likely going suffer some issues for a time period, but keeping it like this www.example.com/directoryname/index.php your going suffer forever.

As far as I can make out you want to mask the directory name and make it look as if it is the root directory of your site.

If that is what you want to do why not upload your files to the root directory and get rid if the redirect altogether?

piatkow i thought he did a 301 from the root to a new named root now he wants to undo the first 301 I think.
Kind of hard to figure it all out really.

Lets do this.

Please post what the main url the site resolves to now and what you want it to resolve to. please use example.com in the example

hi bwnbwn

I think you dont get what exactly i want. Let me explain you once again.

consider www.example.com is my site

now when i type www.example.com in browser, it redirects to www.example.com/someDirectory/index.php
if i nevigate to any other internal page of this site it takes www.example.com/someDirectory/ as the main domain name in place of www.example.com
I am facing this problem since last 4 months after redesigning my site.

now i want my site visible only on www.example.com url not on www.example.com/someDirectory.

I hope now u understand what i exactly want.

Also i want to let u know that my site is dynamic, and its appearing in top 10 on 4-5 keywords in google search result. So i dont want to affect those results.

If you have any better option, please suggest me

Thank you so much...

versasol did you do the recoding on the site as well as the redirect?

You need a 301 redirect from the folder URLs to the root URLs to avoid Duplicate Content issues.

You need a rewrite to connect root URL requests to the content located in the deep folders.

You should use a RewriteRule for both of these.

This has been covered several times in the last week or two in the Apache forum here.
