I'm sooooo sorry. I've been doing this all day.
In October 2005, I tried to make the link lists flatter, and go from
http://www.theredcherry.com/free-porn/category/
to
http://www.theredcherry.com/category/
same on xxxporntastic.com.
Long story short, it didn't work. PR stayed with the
http://www.theredcherry.com/free-porn/category/ pages, and was lost on the
http://www.theredcherry.com/category/ this last round on G00gle. I decided to stop fighting it, and put it back the way it was.
Sooo, I just deleted all the
http://www.theredcherry.com/category/ pages, redid all the recips to point to the old pages. Made simple 404 pages that redirect to the main page of my site in case they hit a missing page.
My link trades I had on the old pages, and the new pages. So now they are all just on the
http://www.theredcherry.com/category/ pages where they were when I did 99% of the original trades.
I have a feeling that the old and new pages were not "different" enough, and G00gle just saw them as duplicate pages. I've updated my sitemaps too, and resubmitted them to G00gle.
The good news is, I dropped the images on the recips, they are simple text boxes.
Bad news is, I'd like all submitters to start using them immediately. I know what a royal pain in the ASS this is, I have to change all my recip tables too.
Unless you were one of the few who never changed to the new recips, then you are now ok, lol.
The recips are here:
The Red Cherry Recips
xXx Porn Tastic Recips
At least now most of my category pages are PR3 which is good.
Again, sorry for all the hassle, and thanks very much to Sid, his letter to us pointed out the PR loss on the new pages, which must have just happened. Thanks guy!
