Pumpirony Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Okay...well...I hate to belabor this point, especially since I like that answer, but I have to say I'm a little confused. The rule is: Do not submit any site with an address that redirects to another address. Yet you seem to be saying it's acceptable for me to submit www.sitename.com, even if all the content -- except for one Flash intro page at www.sitename.com/index.html -- is at store.sitename.com. Again, I'm perfectly happy if that's correct; it just seems to go completely against my understanding of the rule.
Guest wrathchild Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 It's within the same domain. We understand that content changes often on sites and that webmasters use different means of ensuring users get there. We want to use the shortest address that works for a domain. If http://www.domainname.com/ redirects to http://www.domainname.com/content/v5/default.html , that's okay. We'll list the short version of the URL. If, however, http://www.domain.com/ redirected to http://www.spammy-marketing-garbage.com/ then we wouldn't want to list http://www.domain.com/ at all. We'd list the destination. (Assuming it was listable, of course.) That's what the redirect rule is talking about.
