Big Daddy Part 6

[jdancing]

< continued from [webmasterworld.com...] >

It seems nearly all the data centers are showing some form of bigdaddy results now. I am not sure if there is a 100% bigdaddy/not bigdaddy distinction anymore.

The only two DCs I see that are showing different results are 216.239.59.104 and 66.249.87.104 and those results seem to be from late December, early January, at least in the sectors I monitor.

Yeah, I had the normal 301 setup from the very beginning. Where I went wrong was the assumption that it worked automatically in sub-directories. It does not.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.yourdomain\.com
rewriterule (.*) http://www.yourdomain/yoursubdir/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Turns out you have to do one of those in every sub-directory as well, or the non-www traffic won't forward correctly.

I'm still not convinced that this fixed it. But, my page count finally went from 288 to the correct 281. The 7 pages of "duplicate content" are now gone. And the traffic is definitely referers from Google. They are back up to 56.8% of traffic from 1.2%.

JuniorOptimizer -

I use

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [domain.com...] [R=301,L]

and this seems to work for all sub-directories.

junior your rewrite rule is wrong

Frakilks should help you too

[JuniorOptimizer]

It didn't work when the subdirectory needs it's own rewrite rules, as in the case of WordPress. The rewrite I posted is installed and working correctly.

I would use frakilks .htaccess file in the web root so that it covers the redirects for the whole site, and then add a single over-ride .htaccess file in the wordpress folder to cater just for that.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the input.

In case your not watching the DC watching thread check out
[72.14.207.99...] it the most up to date DC for sites recovering from supplemental hell.

For the first time in ages I see a totally clean set of indexed pages, non www issue resolved and all supps gone on 72.14.207.99 and to top it all some KW's are out of the sandbox now and spreading on most dc's.

Heck I might treat myself to some sleep tonight!

Your business model is all wrong if you lose sleep over Google.

IMHO
