But when i do a check to see what's indexed, i see all of them cached as www. by yahoo.
However even in my sites logs i am seeing arrivals from [domain.com...] & [domain...]
Is there a problem with Yahoo's new listings?
Not seeing this on any other SEs where my site is indexed, only yahoo and only in the last few days.
Yahink! spider has trouble figuring out redirects. Yahoo (Tim [webmasterworld.com]) said a few day ago that they are working on it. Sorry, can't find the thread but it's official, believe me.
just concerned to see this url canonicalization, because on google its played its role with sites loosing its ranking and then even disappearing.
Maybe TIM will read this and point me in the right direction, as i did have a read through most of the posts here, as i am new to this area of WW.
But i can see this group growing very big and competing with Google News now yahoo have made the switch.
After the 2nd listing of your domain in the same serps of various positions it will show, eg
www.domain.com/index
www.domain.com/faq
it then strips the www from the listing/url
http:¦¦domain.com/products
in a couple of cases i see it will show the non www listing first then further on in the SERPS you will see max 2 www listings from the same domain
Yes, I'm seeing a domain appear 4 times on one page in some cases: 2 listings for http:¦¦www.domain.com & 2 listings for http:¦¦domain.com.
Yep. I've got a lot of those for my site. In some cases, the top four spots, but all different pages, no duplicates. As noted above, though, generally the www versions come first.
Wow, i'm suprised that this address was still unregistered. :P
Good thing, Tim!
What about WebmasterWorldfeedback@google.com, GG!? Is this address still free too? :D
I have just emailed the examples over
onfire
You know, who's going to complain about having 4 pages listed in the top 20... :-)
Feel free to check it yourself via my profile and fix it if you want. I'll be happy enough just with the www serps that are showing right now.
TIM i am not complaining about the results at all, just strange to see & also concerned that it might cause other problems in the future.
if there's nothing to be concerned about then great........
pray that you site doesn't get banned (for life) for identical pages. I think that's what happened to me. At one point my .net was pointing to the same page. The .net is indexed and the .com is out for good. Paid to get it included, but it lists it in the end of all results. Basically it's useless.
About 6 months ago (I think) I put a 301 redirect (and now removed the .net) but no luck. I guess it's not like Google that picks one site when dupes. Google also updates based on redirects, not ban sites. Someone suggested I get the .net back one and let that get indexed but it woudl suffer because of no backlinks. Plus I want to do it right, not work around it.
Not sure if I shold e-mail Tim. If that's not why I got penalized, I'll look like an even bigger retard....
None of us need some non-existent, but perceived as, duplicate content problem to suddenly kick our sites from the Yahoo serps.
If you think now I have a penalty, wait till I e-mail him :). I don't know. Might wait and see what comes out of the conference.
