I re-created a jooma 1.5 and VM1.6 into a new J34 and VM3 website. The current version I am running is 3.0.9
This website always had google's first page indexed results, and still does.
If you do the search for example: "Sexy γυναικεια εσωρουχα" you will see 2 first results for http://www.secretlove.gr
They are all non sef urls, which I have redirected to the homepage, but If I make no redirection, they lead to Virtuemart's frontpage, which is strangely not the website's real homepage. This puzzles me.
My guess is that google still has the VM1.6 old non SEF urls idexed and that VM also has a feature that all non existing urls are automaticaly redirected to its frontpage. Is my guess correct?
An example of a non sef url which is redirected to VMs frontpage is:http://www.secretlove.gr/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=30&Itemid=29
Please help! :-)
VirtueMart has its own 404 handling where any non-existent url is redirected to the VM homepage rather than allow Joomla's normal 404 error handling. Just turn off VM's 404 system in Configuration/Shopfront - Enable VirtueMart 404 error handling
Thank you very much for your help!
