| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Steven Lockey | 4/12/12 7:27 AM | Sounds like Google is still trying to understand the change-over. How long ago did you do the system change-over? Have you tried viewing the inner pages in the canonial via 'view as googlebot' and checked that they could be seen correctly? |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | I know nothing | 4/12/12 8:19 AM | I'm struggling with your new site, I bet Google is as well: 404 page not found... http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/123/my-article-slug |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Steven Lockey | 4/12/12 8:31 AM | Hmmm, yep, getting a lot of time-outs and slow loading pages here. |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | KORPG Kevin | 4/12/12 8:43 AM | I don't think that was a real URL, just an example of the URL structure. So that specific 404 is likely not an issue. |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Steven Lockey | 4/12/12 8:49 AM | I was just clicking links on the site and getting the 404s. Looks at pages were timing out. |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Suzanneh | 4/12/12 9:06 AM | Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but Google doesn't index links with the "#" tag, right? Could it be that because you're redirecting to /1#post17whatever -- and despite the canonical reference -- Google is just seeing the posts/jump link and then d |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Suzanneh | 4/12/12 9:26 AM | Call me old school but I'm not quite sure why you're doing a 301 redirect to get to a particular post. Seems like a roundabout way of doing it? If I look at vBulletin's forum, they use a query string (?goto=newpost), and that's something they can t |

| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 10:15 AM | OK so I just went ahead and added the #post123 anchor information to all links that point to /posts/jump/ Hopefully this will make it more clear to Google that I want them to crawl and index the other URLs that don't have that. ;) |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 10:31 AM | Suzanneh: Just want to also point out that vBulletin's method of a URL ending in ?goto=newpost / ?goto=lastpost do a 301 redirect the exact same way that we do. |

| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 11:12 AM | Thanks for catching that. Why Google is even indexing every page is beyond me.

| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 6:21 PM | Yes, I did :( URLs in the format /posts/jump/ have *always* redirected to the same full URLs with a 301 redirect.

| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 6:27 PM | To give you an example ...

| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | webado | 4/12/12 6:33 PM | But why are you still creating such urls? Why aren't yo creating the FINAL url rather than generate a url that gets 301 redirected? You have probably pinged Google using the short url. Maybe it's even in a feed. |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 6:45 PM | We are primarily a forum. Some forum threads are multiple pages. In such a case, they will have multiple URLs in the format /blah/article-title, /blah/article-title/2, /blah/article-title/3, etc. On the forum listing page, the primary link is to the |
| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | pscolnick | 4/12/12 6:49 PM | Dani, why dont you just put a rel-nofollow tag on the time stamp? Shouldn't that disallow the post/jump from being indexed? |

| Re: DaniWeb lost all its traffic *AGAIN* | Dani of DaniWeb | 4/12/12 7:10 PM | The final URL is very expensive to create.
