Domain Name & Web Hosting FAQs

Why can't I index my forwarded page with the search engines?

The free web forwarding facility provided by telivo has three modes Masked, Re-direct and Disabled. When in the masked mode the underlying website you are forwarding to is held within a HTML frame set so that your domain name is kept in the Browser address bar. The Masked frame set is a template that all domain names with web forwarding use, because of this no specific META information about one domain can be included in the frame set. This means that when you submit your domain name to the Search Engines the program that checks the relevancy of your website has no information to go on and its relevancy score is likely to be low.

The free forwarding facility is not suited to websites that need to be indexed by the Search Engines as the programs that check you website mark you down if you have no META information or if you re-direct to another web address. To give your website the best chance of a good listing in the Search Engines you will need to host it proPERLy under the domian name as well as optimising your pages.
