slurp and 301

listed in yahoo results with old url

[silverbytes]

myoldsite have 301 permanent redirections pointing to mynewsite except for index and some pages with different content.

In yahoo results appears myoldsite url. Im glad to be listed but I wonder if next slurp visit will go to my newsite and crawl there, and then my newsite url will be listed there instead.

Do I need to do something else?

No, you did it right.

thereīs a lot to read about it :)

actually donīt know if has anything to do, but I have a lot of 301s, even though I donīt have any redirects.....

so doing researches, seen that many sites with links to my site, has the url wrongly, they link without the / at the end like this: [mydomain.com...] doing this of course people enters that directory of mine with an 301, then gets an 200 or 304.

So now I am writing all these companies to tell them please add the / at the end, not to make 301s,,,,,just in case.

We are searching in the dark.

they link without the / at the end

Yeah, that's true. I don't think that really hurts much. Search engines will avoid duplicate urls like that. But it does increase your server traffic and log files a bit.

Ok thanks! That means then it's just a matter of time until Yahoo display the newsite url instead the old one? In that case I guess that will be after next crawl and update. Any idea about when would be that?
Or where to ask / read about it?....

Yes, and as well search engines shouldnīt index an non existing url as an page of yours......
Actually I had an non existing link indexed in All The Web, as if were on of my index pages., actualized and everything, same content as my index.
So one never know.....

I 301ed from old domain to new domain two months ago (PR3).

Google caught the redirect within days. It was listed with new domain but ranked like crap because G dropped its PR to 0. The first PR-update didn't transfer the PR because the redirect was installed after the deadline for that update, I think. The most recent update did transfer the PR, finally. 6 weeks without PR - horrible! But now everything is ok.

Yahoo/Inktomi: Old domain is still listed and ranking well; with old content, that is. New domain is only listed when searching for the complete domain name but not when searching for my keywords. Slurp visits home page of new domain once a week. No deep crawls, yet.

Moral: It's a bit slow with G. With Y it takes ages. Will it ever happen?
