Re: HTML-page clicked in Google don't get me to the website

Hi Catharinus,

If I understand correctly, you want to force your web pages that are
"sub-pages", (meaning you reach them by following the functionality of your
application) to re-direct to your web application starting page, if the user
click from outside of the application.

If this is the case ,you can do it programatically. In ASP.NET you have a
Context object and you can deduct the web page you are coming from. I think
you can do this using some server variables as well. In case your page is
called from a wrong page you can re-direct it to the starting web page.

Best regards,
Eugen

....don't exactly sound like questions that have specific answers. In fact,
these questions make me think that you don't understand how web pages are
accessed and/or how search engines list pages. It doesn't matter if someone
clicks a link to one of your pages from one of your pages or from Google.
They are going to wind up wherever the hyperlink points them to. As I
pointed out earlier, if you want someone taken to your home page, you need
to explicitly give them a hyperlink to that page or just point to the
domain, in which case the home page will be served by default.

It sounds to me like Google is doing exactly what it should and you are
getting exactly what you should. But it also sounds like you belived that
your home page is the entrance to your web site and that entering any other
way is bad or incorrect, which is incorrect.

But, if you would take your time and explain what you want and what you have
more clearly, you might get an answer that helps you.

Oke Scott,

It's clear you can't help me.

Where? Sub-pages (as you put it) should always have links on them
(otherwise a user would be stuck there), one of which, should be back to
the
home page. But, you mentioned that Google is listing the home page when
you
do your search, so what is the problem?

Is it not possible to go to the homepage automatically when one clicks
on
a subpage from outside?

Well no! If you click a link to "A", why should it take you to "B"?

And stay on the subpage, when entering from within the website?

Huh? You want to leave the sub-page but stay on it as well?


thanks

There are 2 ways to get to your home page.

1. A direct hyperlink to that page (ie.
http://someSite.com/index.html)
2. A link to the domain server itself, with no page in the request
(ie.
http://someSite.com)

You indicate that you ARE seeing links to the home page as well as
other
pages in the site, so what, exactly is the problem as this is just
what
you
want to see?

Hi Scott,

yes of course. But what I mean is that it should take me to the
first
page
of the website and that is usely the home.html or index.html. So I
want
to
go
to one of these pages.
Thanks

What are you talking about?

Clicking on a link (in Google or anywhere) is only supposed to take
you
to
one page. If that page is one of your web pages, you have been
taken
to
your web site. Hyperlinks don't open web sites, per se. They take
you
to
a
page that is part of a web site.

Hello,

I have build a website with approximately 30 html-pages.
When I search this website in Google, I see the index.html or
home.html
on
this website, but also other html-pages on this website.
When I click in Google on one of these pages (not index.html or
home.html),
I am only linked to that one html-page and not to the website
itself.
Does anyone know how to fix this. Is there for example a metatag?

Thanks
