Internet ecommerce consulting

I just love to show off with little trivia references of fact as to how I may help clients do good on the 'net!

Do a Google search for "Internet ecommerce consultant" even without the quotes and chances are you'll likely see my personal web site 1 - 10 of about 2,520,000 other pages with that string.

If you are wondering if I can do that for you too, maybe you should contact me !

Please consider surfing around my site to learn more about me and my qualifications.

 

Do you like the format of my web site?

301 redirect for www and the trailing slash SEO tip

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Search Engines see yoursite.com and www.yoursite.com as two different site and to further confuse the issue if you are using the trailing / it can look to the engines that you have 4 different sites with the combination if backlinks pointing to the various options. The has the effect of dilluting the value of the links to your site.

The solution is to use an .htaccess file with this code:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}^yoursite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1/ [L,R=301]
