301 Redirect and Google...

[MarkQJones]

Hi all

Recently, Google has indexed the landing page url for our product differently. This has just happened.

So now, when you used search for "DocRead" you would find the top result being :

"http://www.collaboris.com/products/policy-and-procedure-management-software" which is what i want.

However, now it's indexing it as

"http://www.collaboris.com/products" this page is simply a redirect to our product page as it's part of the menu.

If I look in fiddler when requesting http://www.collaboris.com/products I can see its doing a 301 redirect, which is fine.

Why is Google storing the wrong url ?

I also noticed we dropped in our rankings quite significantly last week.

I have actually bit the bullet and now created a simple landing page at http://www.collaboris.com/products so there should be no confusion.

Would be interested to hear peoples thought.s

I just tested it and found your new pages returning a 200, what status code was it returning before
