Welcome to the Q&A Forum

They did come back after a couple days, I sure wish they would make up their minds. Thanks again for the responses.

Do I have to tell WBT site moved to a subdirectory on another internal site? You don't "have to" at all, but I would recommend doing it. Google will recognize the redirects and over the course of a month they will update their index. In my experience if you inform Google via WMT that your site moved, they can update their index much faster (i.e. within a day).

No problem George, glad I could help : )

Thanks for your response, I appreciate the confirmation.

Just checked with our web team and they are using HTML5 Web Storage http://diveintohtml5.info/storage.html

I think WMT is sometimes annoying about it, but it makes sense. If you're pointing the whole site to a different site, I guess it makes sense that they want to verify you control the domain, and not just that one specific subdomain. One other thing I would do is review your backlink profile - if there are some juicy links in there that you want to preserve and not lose some of their strength due to 301 depletion, I'd contact the webmasters and inform them of the change, asking them to update their links to the new URL to make sure you don't encounter any issues in the future.

Thanks Andrew,  we do have a scholarship description unique for each but some are very short.  It might not be enough of a difference in text for the robot.

Oh, sorry - didn't realize those two pages were different. Can Google crawl the members page? I'm not completely clear where the ref= version is coming from. Actually, I missed something. You have both the root ("/") version and the "/home" version being indexed, but the root version is cached as your other site. This could indicate that Google is connecting them. This is the cache of CollegeXpress, and it's the Careers and Colleges page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:w8YxyZPf5cgJ:www.collegexpress.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us I thought I had ruled this issue out, but apparently not. I'm not clear if Google thinks they're duplicated (which I'm not really seeing to be the case) or if there are some weird redirects or cross-linking causing the problem. I've seen this happen once or twice, but usually when sites were heavily duplicated.
