Tech Wordpress issue with Google - GoFuckYourself.com

Smart Fred · 08-30-2014, 03:04 AM

I just got a warning letter from Google Webmasters telling my site was deindexed because of Cloaking and/or sneaky redirects.

I first thought about Plugrush or other advertising I use, but digging the problem on the Fetch as Google page, I realized that's a WordPress issue.

All my WordPress pages are considered as redirecting and get a warning when my TGP page on the same domain using Plugrush and other ads succesfully passed the "Fetch as Google" test.

The problem is that such a page
http://a-tribute-to.com/playboy/
redirects to
http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy/
because this is the WordPress Address (URL) type in WP General Settings

I get the same on two adult domains and checking a mainstream blog on another host I have the opposite because the I wrote the WordPress Address (URL) without the www.

Any idea how to solve this redirection situation ?

Thanks for your help.

Wait this isn't wordpress issue,i mean redirect from non www to www or opposite is defined in your httpd server settings,or in htaccess if you use apache(and howmuch i know wordpress uses htaccess to deal with that). And that redirect is used with purpose to avoid duplication problem.I had one domain de-indexed due mobile redirect and it is also wordpress blog with also redirecting from non-www to www and it go back into index.So i am not convinced how this is problem,but you can turn it off to see what will happen next.

Free yourself, dump wordpress. Was the best thing I ever did.

If I define http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy/ as WordPress Address (URL) it redirects http://a-tribute-to.com/playboy/ to http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy/

If I define http://a-tribute-to.com/playboy/ as WordPress Address (URL) it redirects http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy/ to http://a-tribute-to.com/playboy/

And that's not a problem with htaccess. On my mainstream blog with an empty htaccess I get the same redirection problem.

I have to investigate with my host about the httpd server settings.

I have htaccess redirect in my every site to redirect non www to www. Multiple platforms, including Wordpress, so I don't think that is the problem in here. Or maybe the problem is that you don't have htaccess redirect (done seo wise)?

Also, you can choose in google webmaster tools that your site prefers www, so that google knows that it is the address to use and prevents duplicate content penalties.

VIXEN ESCORTS · 08-30-2014, 04:44 AM

In your Wordpress settings make sure you have the http://www.yourdomain.com
Then go into your Webmaster tools settings and check the option that says always use http://www.yourdomain.com
Then add this to your .htaccess file:

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

It seems to be the reason of my site de-indexation. Now running again the Fetch as Google, the same pages are getting green and no more redirect warning.

Just have to re-organize my Google webmaster account as there's two accounts for my two blogs and I don't think that's good for Google.

I don't think that having two accounts will be problem. I have two accounts: one for my mainstream sites and one for my pornsites.

Well sound like redirect was done as temporal redirect instead permanent which is probably why it look that way.And google doesn't like temporal redirect on domain/subdomain level.

No I mean I have an account for http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy-playmates/ and an account for http://www.a-tribute-to.com/
Two different sitemaps but on the same domain.

Okay, that sounds to be very bad practice. Yeah, you should definitely remove the other (I suggest keeping the main domain one).

you need to change your gfy username

I'm kidding of course, but I couldn't resist that cue

Do this

adultwpthemes · 08-30-2014, 08:09 AM

Sorry but if you have in your general settings that domain name with www its normal.

Or try to add funcion in your functions.php

Code:

update_option('siteurl','yourdomain');
update_option('home','yourdomain');

I'm not allowed to put url use with http

but sould work fine with the htaccess as the post above

brentbacardi · 08-30-2014, 08:39 AM

Hmmm I've been deindexed for using certain ad widgets. Especially if you use mobile redirects. I really think that is your problem, not the fact that you forward to www like every other site in the world.

Smart Fred · 08-30-2014, 12:01 PM

If you look at this picture
http://www.smart-fred-traffic.com/go...ster-tools.jpg

you could see that all pages with manual PHP is passing the Fetch as Google test.
My TGP page
http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playmates.php
is using Plugrush and Plugz.co widgets, but complete the test.

But none of my WordPress main pages
http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playmates/
http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy/
http://www.a-tribute-to.com/playboy-playmates/
is completing the test because of redirect.

I've change my site settings on Google Webmasters Tool adding www and now the same WordPress main pages complete the Fetch as Google test.

So now I'm waiting the Reconsideration request results.

Same exact thing happened to fame-monster.com last week. I had to add websites on my securi plan, and let them find any malware or redirects. They submitted the reconsideration request to google, so far so good. I had to take out my popunders for now.

Smart Fred · 08-31-2014, 12:48 AM

Continuing digging into my problem, it seems I also have the PlugRush problem.
But according to how much money I earn from selling traffic to mobile and how much I earn selling Playboy membership, it looks to me I have to keep selling mobile traffic.

Is it "Google Safe" to redirect my mobile traffic to a special page on my domain and to put on this page only mobile pay per click traffic ?

If you redirect traffic from your site to your site, it is always more user/ Google friendly than redirecting the visitors outside your site.

At least google noticed you! They walk right by my sites without even nodding these days!

yea, at least you got their attention, they told you of the penalty -- I have never seen that personally

WiredGuy · 08-31-2014, 10:19 AM

Make sure you do a 301 redirect (.htaccess) on the pages to your www version and put a canonical tag in the html header so google knows which version is preferred. Finally, send a reconsideration request to explain its just a redirect and the 301/canonical and they should re-index everything.
