IIS Custom Error page and ColdFusion Url Rewrite question

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:09:00 GMT

If the status code is 200 then Google does not know that it is a 404
error. I think they officially frown on this technique. What Google
does is query a page that they know does not exist, and it they don't
get a 404 they might punish your ranking.

IIS Custom Error page and ColdFusion Url Rewrite question

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:31:00 GMT

Here's what I've done. I have a website setup that has only one physical page, index.cfm. All the links on that site are set up to be SEO friendly. Something like: domainname.com/my-coldfusion-question. I have set up a custom 404 page in IIS to include a

ASAPI Rewrite Rule

Why don't you use something like this:

In this case you won't need to write a different rule for each circuit. Use the

I'm using the ASAPI Rewrite to map friendly URLs to my fusebox application.

I'm hoping somebody can help me with a rewrite rule to change:

into this fusebox url:

alternate spaces in urls

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 08:54:00 GMT

But if the + is reserved, what is it reserved for? I always see it
reserved for a space but is that only for search engines.

As for url length, any idea as to how long is too long? I have some
long Fusion Authority urls and Google has no problems

alternate spaces in urls

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 08:51:00 GMT

The underscore should never be used as it is not a 'joiner'.
Fusion_Authority is a single word meaning nothing while
Fusion-Authority is two words that may or may not go together.

The thought on the + is due to search engines using it in place of a

alternate spaces in urls

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 08:42:00 GMT

From my research, search engines view "-" as spaces. I would not use "+"
since it is a reserved character. I would only use dashes, underscores,
letters, and numbers.

The general consensus from most SEO/SEM ers is to use dashes "-".

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 08:26:00 GMT

From previous (untested) research, I would recomend using a (-) over and underscore (_). I've never thought of using + but I reckon it could have qwerky results maybe to do with the fact that plus signs are used when searching quite frequently.

Also, I

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:21:00 GMT

I'm working with a client and we're coming up with alternate ways of
showing urls, directory and file names. Normally, a dash (-) in an url
is understood to be a space. A plus (+) and a %20 are also valid url
representations of a space.
Any thoughts

I've checked the Google Webmaster tools and apparently Google is getting a
redirect error on the homepage. I'm stumped. There is no redirect - the code

What do you mean by referral domain and in what stats? I've turned off all server based stats and work only with analytics and sitemaps. I don't see anything showing a refer of fusion authority for any of my redirects.

non-index block of text

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:58:00 GMT

You could include the text in an IFrame. Put the source file for the IFrame in a subdirectory that is disallowed in your robots.txt. Most SEs see IFrames as seperate content, and I suspect that if the IFrame is in a disallowed folder it will not be

Is there any way to render a chunk of text 'invisible' to search engines? There are sections of different pages that should not be seen for SEO purposes. I'd prefer not to use JavaScript if at all possible, but it may be the only way.
