Google link broken

Post by MarcW »

Hi Jools,

Another one for you!

I was searching for Corydoras parallelus on Google, the Cat-eLog page was the first hit :-).

However when you click on it, you get to Planet, but to an error page, which after a few seconds just re-directs you to the home page. The link from Google search is: https://www.planetcatfish.com/corydoras_parallelus

I'm guessing this has something to do with splitting Corydoras in the Cat-eLog, maybe the url of the pages has changed, when I tried another Corydoras the link from google worked fine, but also included the lineage in the url e.g. https://www.planetcatfish.com/corydoras(ln5)_elegans

Hi Marc,

In recent history, Planetcatfish split up all the corys by their lineages. The link which Google gave you is an outdated link, I suspect probably stored by Google after one of its web bots crawled around the Planet prior to this reorganization.

Here's your link from Google: https://www.planetcatfish.com/corydoras_parallelus

Here's the current address: https://www.planetcatfish.com/corydoras(ln9)_parallelus

If Google has cached an old address, I would imagine it will update the info eventually as its bots continue to surf the web, but I imagine there are ways to report broken links the Google. Not sure it's a code issue.

Cheers, Eric

Thanks Eric,

I thought that the issue would be related to the splitting of Corydoras, just wasn't sure what the resolution would be, waiting for a bot to find the new address seems like a nice easy resolution :-).

Yes, that's right. However, if Corydoras parallelus was entered as a synonym, then the link would work forvevermore - this is how it's designed to work.

For example, https://www.planetcatfish.com/corydoras_barbatus

Hope that makes sense,

Jools
