Is there any rhyme or reason to Google supps?

[Halfdeck]

Why did you use the "inurl:" operator insted of "site:" ?

I use both. I use inurl: when I just want to see pages in the main index.

The results show up for me if I do "inurl:surfcuties.com". I using the non "www" version.

Yeah, same here, but you might also pull up supplementals that way - which is why I posted "inurl:http://www..." instead of inurl:domain.com.

EDIT:

Both www and non-www are returning a status 200. You need to set up a 301 redirect from one version to the other. you may be splitting link juice and creating supps unnecessarily.

And yeah, if I do "inurl:http://surfcuties.com/" I see 25 results.

That has been on my list of things to fix...

Does this look correct:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.surfcuties\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://surfcuties.com$1 [R=301,L]

[Halfdeck]

Looks ok to me.

Ok - it works, but if I request:

www.surfcuties.com/directory I get

surfcuties.comdirectory

Yikes.

Bed time for me, but I recommend using a HTTP header checker and a test directory before making a new .htaccess live.

This is what I use:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301]

(Yeah, www and non-www are backwards for you).

Thanks man - putting a "/" at the end of the RewriteRule fixed the problem.


And let me leave you with a question for when you wakeup tomorrow


Have you had any canonical issues with WP serving up pages in both forms:

domain.com/page/
and
domain.com/page

?

Not sure if If it's worth the trouble of trying to fix that...
