ASPX Newbie

[SCW]

Hey folks,

I am about to dive into my first ASPX project.

Nearly every link on the home page results in a pop-up window displaying the related page content. Despite this quirky approach to IA and UX... a quick crawl test reveals good accessibility with very few Client Errors and no Server Errors.

Questions (to those with ASPX experience, please):

1.) In dealing with aspx, is there anything I paying particular attention to?

2.) Are redirects handled with htaccess?

3.) Since the crawl test pulled the urls and meta descriptions related to the aforementioned "pop-up" pages - is it safe to assume the content in the pop-up pages is also being accessed by the search bots?

Thanks for your input - much appreciated?

1. If you use IIS, urls are parsed case insensitively (i.e. page.aspx = Page.aspx). Unfortunately, crawlers treat them as separate pages and would say they are duplicate pages. Be sure to set up canonicals for the proper url structure.

2. No, it would be handled through IIS and the web.config file

3. Check. site:url.com and see if your pages appear

Cheers,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Thank you for the informative response!

I am so new to aspx, I am not familiar with IIS either, but I do understand what you are referring to
