Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Cheers for that, i will have a read of it now. I cannot understand why people use these re writing article software where they do such a bad job

Hi i have been submitting a lot of fresh articles on free article sites and they have been picked up which is good but my problem is, i am finding loads of these sites who have picked up my article using some sort of article rewrite programme and my articles look like they have now been written by a two year old.

I want to know if this is going to spoil my reputation and i would like to know why people use these programmes when they do not even make sense.

hi, it keeps changing, one minute it is an a and then a f

Now i have worked out how to do this, can anyone let me know if this would be wasting my time. I am correct that it is good for seo to find all my lost pages that are generating good links and putting the content back on my site to gain that link juice.

Hi after reading lots of pages, i have found how to do it with joomla, but it says it is better to do it within the htaccess file, not sure if this is correct or not.

What i have done is used the Aliases feature where i have put the old url in there

Hi, my hosting company after they updated my joomla website lost thousands of pages of content, i am now searching for all broken links and re doing the content to get my links back, but i am having a problem understanding how to redirect these links.

For example, i have now managed to retrieve this page

http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/have-your-say/liberal-dem-leader-says-he-will-be-the-next-prime-minister-what-do-you-think

but the old url for this page was

http://www.in2town.co.uk/Have-Your-Say/Liberal-Dem-Leader-says-He-Will-be-The-Next-Prime-Minister-What-Do-You-Think/menu-id-4953

i do not have the unfriendly url for this page, so what i am trying to find out is, how to tell google that the above page is now

http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/have-your-say/liberal-dem-leader-says-he-will-be-the-next-prime-minister-what-do-you-think

in my joomla site. if anyone could please explain how to do this with joomla 1.5 then you will make me very happy as then i will be able to retrieve some of my lost links

hi, how would i add the old urls to the site. there are lots of urls from the old site that i have had to change.

What i mean by this is, when we changed the site, we asked the hosting company to move all the data over, they made a huge error and because of this we lost thousands of pages of content and thousands of pages of links

If you could explain about adding the old urls and if this is possible.

Buit what i had on the old xmap was, it was showing all the content that i had, which made the sitemap look very long, but by doing this google was adding it and it was showing in my google webmaster tools, but now it is only showing that 13 pages have been listed by google instead of all the content pages that we have.

On the old site by doing this, it showed thousands of content pages listed in google in webmaster tools, but at the moment it is only showing our main sections

With ref to the coronation street, it is because we are adding this over the weekend

any help would be great. It has been a nightmare building the new site after the hosting company lost all of our data

so basically pingler just does the same job as google ping then, so what is the point in pingler and why do they ask you to join them for a fee

Hi i am trying to understand how services such as pingler.com help your site. I think i understand about the google ping service which tells google that you have updated a page but how does pingler work.

Pingler claims that it sends traffic to your site but i do not understand this.

Any help would be great

Hi here is my site map http://www.in2town.co.uk/sitemap-xml?sitemap=1

But i am concerned that i have not set my joomla site map correctly. The reason why i think this is, because i have a lot of articles on the site and google are not picking them up in my google webmaster tools.

On my old site google was quick to pick up all the articles.

Can anyone offer me any help on this and let me know if my site map should be set to show all of my articles

Thanks for this, i will have a look now

Hi i have been reading that if you have links going out of your site then this can damage your site, so i have been trying to find out, how i can do no follow links for some of the affliate sites that i have on my site.

I have a couple of adverts on my site and i would like to turn these into no follow links while the rest of my internal links on my page are to stay follow links but in joomla i am not sure how to do this.

can anyone please give me some advice

Thank you for the advice.
