Hey Guys,
Having a real major problem, my site is working fine, the problem is google is not crawling it properly. For instance it finds all pages and all URLS except for all my reviews, what it finds instead is this
Url: /reviews/index.php%3Faction=fullreview&id=1
the %3F should simply be a ? mark, this is only google that has this problem and another section of my site is fine and it was built using the smae ideas as the review section.....any ideas?
GOOD URL:
http://www.monkeyreview.com/news/index. ... full&ID=94
BAD URL:
http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/ind ... iew&id=114
With the second in my logs it shows:
http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/ind ... view&id=63
It should be:
index.php?action=fullreview&id=63

I am the owner, of MonkeyReview, as of yet we have not done a review on that game but anticipate us being able to catch up on older games shortly, My problem is still there, does anyone know why or how my script would have changed the ? to the unicode %3F?? I think the root of my problem is in my code.....any idea what i would be looking for?

looks like you might be using rawurlencode() on the entire URL... you should only encode the query string (or values thereof) and try to use urlencode() as a replacement...
okay.....

okay well i have narrowed it down to my source, simple and perhaps stupid question, in php is a href=
http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/index.php?action=.........
good?
or does it NEED to be a href=reviews/index.php?action=...........
any idea on this

The thing is %3F is the hex coding for ?.
Put your mouse over this:
http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/ind ... view&id=63
And look at the status bar, and you will see it turns the %3F into a ?.
I would suggest looking at your own code, to see if you do any urlencodes and what not. I don't know why Google would pick it up like that.
nadda

no urlencode anything you know of that could do it? doing searches through the code to find it.
