Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi!! Thanks Mike! I didn't realize I was passing the SIDs (as not in the URL) but it makes sense I am. Will take this to a private question and let you know what I hear back. Thanks for your help! Lynn

anytime Dana

Hi Craig, If you are running Apache with PHP, then you could look into mod_rewrite and do some URL rewriting for your urls to look like /login/lostpassword instead of /login.php?action=lostpassword Best regards, Guillaume Voyer.

Thank you James!! I really appreciate the insight and your patience. Lynn

Just to add to this: here is how you 301 in vbscript: <%@ Language=VBScript %> <%' Permanent redirection Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently" Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.domain.com/" Response.End %>

Pipes are increasingly popular but a great deal of 'expert' SEO's still use hyphens. I tend to use pipes on new sites and haven't changed the hyphens on old sites.

If it has come back and lost it's rankings again, there is definitely something happening that Google ddoesnt like. This will be anything that they might consider black hat, so check their webmaster guidelines, but my guess would be back links still. You have to remember that you are already in a grey are with the subject matter of the site, as many are unethical and will employ unethical techniques. If you are linked to any of these, you could also be getting penalised. Regards, Andy

No probs

Ok thanks for the answer.  What about hosting on same server?  Should we host them on separate servers for each site?

I am in the same condition: how long should I wait for Google to reindex and rerank the site? I don't want to mess with 301, even my Host has a DirectAdmin panel that allows me to redirect without editing the.htacces file. Am I getting penalties from Google in the meantime? Thanks, DoMiSol
