» URL’s and Indexing Problems

In this post in WebProWorld about site indexing problems which I found through the WebProWorld newsletter, someone is complaining about Google not indexing his pages. A solution he found was to add Google’s Adsense search tool and what do you know, the home page got indexed…. 3 times.

3 times with 3 different URL’s!

Actually I found there´s even a fourth URL that contains the exact same content as the homepage.

You’d think that is the cause of the problem to begin with and that he’d want to fix these problems before even thinking of other things to do. But no, the whole thread continues with questions and answers about 404 and 301 status codes. Though these things are also important, I can never really understand why people don’t start at the beginning of a problem, but rather continue with trying to fix symptoms of a higher level problem.

Maybe it´s just me,..
