      We made changes several months ago trying to become compliant with Google Trusted Stores.  This change effects our secure checkout.  Here is an example website:www.froggysfog.com once you go to checkout:
      https://www-froggysfog-com.app-hosted.com/c=gbY1kT9hZx1OJrCN07bHz3tTy/s=www.froggysfog.com/checkout.cgis
      Once you have gone to checkout all the links are changed:
      https://www-froggysfog-com.app-hosted.com/category/10-fluid.10-fog/

      I know I can remove the session ID in webmaster tools, but I'm not sure what else I should be doing to ensure that these links are not indexed. We have the robot.txt set up to not index anything in checkout or that is on secure: http://www.froggysfog.com/robots.txt However, due to the entire url change when on secure. I'm wonder if I need to set up in webmaster tools to exclude any url with app-hosted.com or if there is a better option.

      thank  you

        This is a result of using an e-commerce system that changes the links to hosted links on their server to ensure that they are secure https

        This is in your source code

        you are using http://blog.zoovy.com

        divstyle="position:absolute; top:15px; right:10px;"class="toplnk"><a< span="">href="http://www.froggysfog.com/contact_us.cgis"style="padding-right:8px;">Contact Us<a< span="">href="https://www-froggysfog-com.app-hosted.com/c=qr6twP9hai0RWUxaUaY16ovYS/s=www.froggysfog.com/customer/"style="padding-right:8px;">My Account<img< span="">src="/media/merchant/froggysfog/_ticket_2921314/ff_icn_cart-16x13.png"alt=""width="16"height="13"align="absmiddle"/><a< span="">href="http://www.froggysfog.com/cart.cgis">View Cart (0 Items)</a<></img<></a<></a<>

        My best advice if you want to pass certification on the first try this change your structure to all HTTP S & have it hosted on FireHost there payment Island PCI 3 pass the certification every time first time. Every time they are the bests in PCI compliance and you will never have to worry about set up or auditing issues in the future.

        Why?

        http://www.firehost.com/company/certifications/pci

        http://www.firehost.com/secure-cloud/compliant/pci

        http://www.firehost.com/secure-cloud/compliant

        all the best,

        Thomas

          You should also check with your e-commerce company if you can use your DNS to cname this www-froggysfog-com.app-hosted.com hostname to cart.froggysfog.com

          Or something like  checkout.froggysfog.com

          I would definitely verify this Google and your hosting provider prior.

          Hope this helps,

          Thomas

            http://www.froggysfog.com/robots.txt

            Does not control a separate domain name. You actually have to modify robots.txt file inside the other host name

            You should be able to request the URL is no index & no follow

            That's should take care of all these issues.

            dont block https or your sight will not be found.
