multiple 301 redirect query
<p>hello all,</p>
<p>i have 2 301 redirects on my some of my landing pages and wondering if this will cause me serious issues.</p>
<p>i first did 301 directs across the whole website as we redid our url structure a couple of months ago.</p>
<p>we also has location specific landing pages on our categories but due to thin/duplicate content , we have got rid of these by doing 301's back to the main category pages. we do have physical branches at these locations but given that we didnt get much traffic for those specific categories at those locations and the fact that we cannot write thousands of pages of unique content content , we did 301's.</p>
<p>is this going to cause me issues. i would have thought that 301's drop out of serps ? so is this is an issue than it would only be a temporary one ?.. or should i have 404'd the location category pages instead.</p>
<p>any advice greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p>hi peter</p>
<p>i think you should be fine. redirecting old urls that no longer exist is a best practice and helpful for users. of course, those 301'd urls should drop out of google's index after a while. but this should be okay. you only want urls to appear in serps that actually do have content.</p>
Yes - the strategy is that Google's algorithms put less weight toward linkbuilding and more toward content considered "useful" by users. You should focus in investing in unique content that encourages visitors to share your links via social media and other sources, as opposed to straight old link building. If you diversify your site portfolio you wil encourage more long term growth and remain safe in SEO listings. links to a phone layout should have /phone in the code... I would assume you copy | pasted these links from your desktop layout and that of course makes them go there in stead but the good news is its easy to fixp.s, you did the right thing and its nice to see a designer do basic testing of their site The question is can you get out of your computer and after that the thing to check is can you resolve any domain names. Try going to a command prompt and checking to see if you can ping your computers IP address then the gateway then try to resolve domain names.


ipconfig /all


Will give you the information you need to check these things.


nslookup google.com


If that does not come back with a IP address then you have problems with your DNS server. try this and try to modify accordingly -



```
<?
//content is the array of titles which comes from the content.php page or the entire code can be put in the content.php
$content = array('title1 - This is the Homepage','title2 -Find new friends','title3 - Get your visa cleared now','title4 - bark about your wife here','title5 - Dont have kids yet','some other page');

$arr = explode('/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

$current_page = $arr[count($arr)-1];
//list your pages here
$pages  = array("1=>index.php","2=>friends.php","3=>nicks.php","4=>rent.php","5=>test.php");
for($i = 0; $i<count($pages);$i++)
{
	if($pages[$i] == trim($current_page))
		$pages_index = $i;
	else $pages_index = 6;
}
//This will echo the title
echo $content[pages_index];
?>
```

ask,if you stuck up somewhere. sorry i took so long to respond on this post. i’ve had a busy week! so i found the issue. in my template for endpoints i realized i accidentally set them to provision using the external ip address of my pbx. changed it to internal and this fixed my issues :stuck\_out\_tongue: it looks like you are right, this appears to be an issue. i will make sure that it gets fixed soon. we believe this issue has been fixed with our most recent release, version 10.9.

 also, if you are experiencing this issue via the web client, please let us know here: my guess would be that a config like this might work:

collections:

- name: 'site 1'

create: true

label: 'posts'

label\_singular: 'post'

folder: 'sites/content/posts/site-1'

.

.

.

- name: 'site 2'

create: true

label: 'posts'

label\_singular: 'post'

folde… having add could disqualify you with some departments, but not all. i think this greatly depends. some would consider it a liability issue. Have you tried restarting your browser?
