Noobish-n-stuff Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I'd like to hear everyones opinion about this. i got sick of having to have a spplash page that redirected my customers from root/index.htm to root/catalog/index.php so i copied all of the OSC files and basiclly moved them one directory up (to the root) now cutomers go directly to root/index.php great, i love it. what concerns me though, is now that i moved everything search engines will be directing potential customers to pages that dont' exist! atleast until the search bot comes back and updates. :angry: am i better off running the store in both locations (for a while/permently) or should i just delete the catalog/ directory now? :unsure: this change really seems like it could cause my shop to have a slow period. is there a way around this? :blink: any thoughts or opinions will be much apreciated...

cdi-buy.com Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I would leave it off because by the time the bot does come back, it might still be up and you would have missed an opportunity to be indexed without the splash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobish-n-stuff Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 i suppose i could always make a custom 404 error page that redirects customers to my new index. you think i should use a meta refresh?? or let the customer click the link?
