    Manage broken links on Umbraco multiple site solution

    I am having a project containing multiple copies of same site with different domain names.

    Ex:

    -site1

         -subpage (about)

         -subpage (contact)

    -site2

         -subpage (staff)

         -subpage(about)

         -subpage (contact)

    -site3

    site4

    --------------------------------------------------

    Lets say site1 has a former subpage called staff and google has been indexing it. When user enters from old reference umbraco will search content tree and find subpage from site2 and display with wrong url.

    As I see it the right way would be to display parent of broken link instead.

     

    What will “best case” be to prevent this?

    Thanks

    Hi Anders,

    Don´t know if you already know this package but the 301 url tracker developed by kipusoep.

    This package is used to manage URLs within umbraco. It automatically tracks URL changes, for instance when a node is renamed, and makes sure the old URL will redirect to the new location.

    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker

    This is great for SEO and great for people visiting your website via this old URL. Search engines will update the indexed URL and people won't visit the old, broken URL.

    Could this be a solution for you to solve your needs, I hope so.

    /Dennis

    Hi Anders,

    I haven´t used the package myself, but this post would maybe describe your problem http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker/feature-requests/23519-More-multi-site-support-duplicate-oldUrls-on-different-sites-cross-site-redirects-?

    Otherwise you could try ask the question in the space of 301-url-tracker http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker/version-2

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis
