Search Engine tech question
Picture the scene. I own the domain names purpletigron.com and purpletigron.co.uk and I have my Web presence set up on .com
Then a fan tells me that they can't find my Web site with Google - turns out, they're using google.co.uk and setting 'pages from the UK' and searching for 'purpletigron' ... and I'm nowhere!
But I have got purpletigron.co.uk set up to re-direct to the .com site in what I was told was a 'search engine friendly way'.
So why isn't Google spidering under purpletigron.co.uk so my fan can find me with that perverse search of theirs?
Advice gratefully received :-)
