Currently Indexed Pages, Analytics, Adsense, PR...

It will take many more than 10 days to get everything re-indexed. Mine has been installed for several months now and I'm still working my way up.

As TD2Man said, one of the keys to SEO is lots of patience.

Patience... :P

heheh - that's your actual voice??

That's Yoda's voice.

heh.. true

Thanks for your replies...

See you soon

i need a url rewrite rule which will redirect (plus 301) all the links starting with http://msxlabs.com/smth to http://www.msxlabs.com/smth

I'm gonna edit the httpd.conf file.

<Directory /home/msxlabs/public_html>
Options All -Indexes
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

Put this above the other rules. (And you only need one "RewriteEngine on" at the top. No need to repeat it.)

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

Can you edit my quote and put the line for me? Just want to be sure it's correct before restarting the apache...

And i also have subfolders within custom .htaccess files. What about them?

Add it right under your very first RewriteEngine On.

As for the sub-dirs, I think it depends on how your server is set up, that determines if it will "pull" in the higher level ones.

Thanks.

Last question:

Can i remove these lines now? (bold ones)

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://msxlabs.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://msxlabs.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.msxlabs.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.msxlabs.com$ [NC]

Yep, as long as you're converting it to the www version above that, and you are, then you won't need both versions anymore.

Got some problems...

http://www.msxlabs.com/downloads/rap (works - blank index page)
http://msxlabs.com/downloads/rap/ (works)
http://msxlabs.com/downloads/rap (doesn't work)

Here is the .htaccess file i use in that folder:

Options All -Indexes

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.msxlabs\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.msxlabs.com/downloads/rap/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://tdrecordz.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://tdrecordz.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.msxlabs.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.tdrecordz.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.msxlabs.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.tdrecordz.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(zip|rar|exe)$ [F,R,NC]

Can i delete this file?
vbseo_sitemap\data\.htaccess

deny from all

It does not block the googlebot, does it?

Grrr....

I guess i need some tweaking...
