Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi!! Yeah strange. Here is the code the hosting guys came up with: ############################################ enable rewrites Options +FollowSymLinks     RewriteEngine ON RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]     RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%1/$1 [L,R=301] RedirectMatch 301 ^/shop/(.*)$ http://hiphound.com/$1 ############################################ The first rule is for www to non-www redirection and the second rule is for my URL structure change. Thanks so much for your help! Lynn

One does not always have the option to use a canonical. If you have the option; always go with the 301-redirect in such a scenario. If your concern is about the SERP's only you can try this bit of code in a htaccess file (if you use apache): RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$ RewriteRule ^robots.txt$ robotsssl.txt Then add this code to your robotsssl.txt User-agent: * Disallow: / Have a good day!

Hi!! Thanks Mike! I didn't realize I was passing the SIDs (as not in the URL) but it makes sense I am. Will take this to a private question and let you know what I hear back. Thanks for your help! Lynn
