I've been doing SEO and a link exchange program for acmewidgetrentals.com. They're a customer of these guys who I'll call "Programming Geniuses International," who've sub contracted the SEO/SEM stuff to me. Why sub it out? Because as will become apparent very soon, they're clueless about search engine visiblity.
Right in the middle of my getting textual content and carefully recruiting incoming links for the the internal pages www.acmewidgets.com/view_our_widget_rentals.htm and a couple of other appropriate pages, they've moved the goal posts.
What they did certainly served their programming and server allocation purposes well, but it ruined a lot of work I've done.
What they have now is a totally new URL for what used to be www.widgets.com/view_our_widget_rentals.htm. It's now become [admewidgets.geniuses.com...]
In other words, the link to /view_our_widget_rentals.htm now goes to another domain, geniuses.com, on another server.
What if anything can I do-- and as soon as possible-- to fix this? The customer, acmewidgets, will explode when the good money they've paid out for SEO is down the drain.
Thanks.
jfodale said, "should." I share your trepidation.
Has G worked out their recent problems with mishandling of 301s?
But a 301 may be my only recourse.
