Hi everyone,
now we all know that the best way to stop the search engine known as Google to avoid indexing http://domain.com as a different site to http://www.domain.com/ is to do a permanent (301) redirect through IIS, or to add a DNS entry that makes www.domain.com the canonial name for pretty much anything under that domain (eg. wildcard minus specifics). However, clients don't often have great/flexible providers, and we're running a mix of IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0 servers where we want to help clients rank well by providing the 301 redirects. Sites are a mix of languages.
the problem we're having is that we end up with a lot of redirect.www.domain.xyz IIS sites which just function to do a redirect - is there any way of doing this within IIS using settings which won't break SEO (eg. remains as a 301 redirect) and doesn't need more than one site entry?
thanks in advance.
