Hello,
I have build a website with approximately 30 html-pages.
When I search this website in Google, I see the index.html or home.html on
this website, but also other html-pages on this website.
When I click in Google on one of these pages (not index.html or home.html),
I am only linked to that one html-page and not to the website itself.
Does anyone know how to fix this. Is there for example a metatag?
Thanks

Now that I understand your question, I can give you a suggestion:
Add this to the head section of all your non-home page pages:
<script type="text/javascript">
var homePagePath = "your full home page path here"
if(document.loc ation != homePagePath)
{document.locat ion = homePagePath)
</script>
But, I have to say that this is NOT normal web site behavior and I do not
recommend you actually to it. It is what I'd do if I needed to do what you
want, but I just can't think of a case where I'd want to do this. It takes
a lot of power away from the user.

Thanks Eugen,
That's my question. Thanks for your answer, but I hoped I could solve it
without ASP.
Now I am afraid it can't.
thanks anyway.

If I understand correctly, you want to force your web pages that are "sub-pages", (meaning you reach them by following the functionality of your application) to re-direct to your web application starting page, if the user click from outside of the application.
If this is the case ,you can do it programatically . In ASP.NET you have a Context object and you can deduct the web page you are coming from. I think you can do this using some server variables as well. In case your page is called from a wrong page you can re-direct it to the starting web page.

these questions make me think that you don't understand how web pages
are
accessed and/or how search engines list pages. It doesn't matter if
someone
clicks a link to one of your pages from one of your pages or from
Google.
They are going to wind up wherever the hyperlink points them to. As I
pointed out earlier, if you want someone taken to your home page, you
need
to explicitly give them a hyperlink to that page or just point to the
domain, in which case the home page will be served by default.
It sounds to me like Google is doing exactly what it should and you are
getting exactly what you should. But it also sounds like you belived
that
your home page is the entrance to your web site and that entering any
other
way is bad or incorrect, which is incorrect.
But, if you would take your time and explain what you want and what you
have
more clearly, you might get an answer that helps you.

Where? Sub-pages (as you put it) should always have links on them (otherwise a user would be stuck there), one of which, should be back to the home page. But, you mentioned that Google is listing the home page when you do your search, so what is the problem?
Is it not possible to go to the homepage automatically when one
clicks
on
a subpage from outside?
Well no! If you click a link to "A", why should it take you to "B"?
And stay on the subpage, when entering from within the website?
Huh? You want to leave the sub-page but stay on it as well?
thanks

You indicate that you ARE seeing links to the home page as well as other pages in the site, so what, exactly is the problem as this is just what you want to see?

Hi Scott,
yes of course. But what I mean is that it should take me to the
first
page
of the website and that is usely the home.html or index.html.
So I
want
to
go
to one of these pages.

Clicking on a link (in Google or anywhere) is only supposed to take you to one page. If that page is one of your web pages, you have been taken to your web site. Hyperlinks don't open web sites, per se. They take you to a page that is part of a web site.

Hi Scott,
I tried your example, it doesn't work.
But I think there's another possible solution:
Use the following in the head section of the subpages.
<META NAME="Robots" CONTENT="NOINDE X,FOLLOW">
By using this in the head-section you prevent that this page is shown in
google,
even when there are words found in the page that match the google search.

This META tag is not respected by all search engines and, as such, you
shouldn't count on it preventing your non-home page pages from appearing in
search engine results.
The script I provided does work. If you post your version of it, I can tell

Although I inserted all kinds of Meta name keywords, needed for Google, I
have not inserted that in the code below. Thanks in advance

clicks a link to one of your pages from one of your pages or from
Google.
They are going to wind up wherever the hyperlink points them to. As
I
pointed out earlier, if you want someone taken to your home page,
you
need
to explicitly give them a hyperlink to that page or just point to
the
domain, in which case the home page will be served by default.
It sounds to me like Google is doing exactly what it should and you
are
getting exactly what you should. But it also sounds like you belived
that
your home page is the entrance to your web site and that entering
any
other
way is bad or incorrect, which is incorrect.
But, if you would take your time and explain what you want and what
you
have
more clearly, you might get an answer that helps you.

Hello,

I have build a website with approximately 30 html-pages.
When I search this website in Google, I see the
index.html
or
home.html
on
this website, but also other html-pages on this website.
When I click in Google on one of these pages (not
index.html
or
home.html),
I am only linked to that one html-page and not to the
website
itself.
Does anyone know how to fix this. Is there for example a
metatag?

The problem is that in the script, you haven't included the file name in the
home page path, just the domain name.
It should be something like this (substitute your home page file name):
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var homePagePath = "http://www.figuresfirs t.nl/index.html"
if(document.loc ation != homePagePath)
{document.locat ion = homePagePath)
</script>
</head>
The "document.locat ion" will return a path that includes the file name of
the current document, so you need to specify the full path of the home page
when you set up the homePagePath variable.

Thanks Scott,
especially for your patience. Here is the code that I inserted in one of

Although I inserted all kinds of Meta name keywords, needed for Google, I
have not inserted that in the code below. Thanks in advance
<html>

The script I provided does work. If you post your version of it, I can tell you what you may have done wrong.

Hi Scott,
I tried your example, it doesn't work.
But I think there's another possible solution:
Use the following in the head section of the subpages.
<META NAME="Robots" CONTENT="NOINDE X,FOLLOW">
By using this in the head-section you prevent that this page is shown
in
google,
even when there are words found in the page that match the google
search.
"Scott M." wrote:
Now that I understand your question, I can give you a suggestion:
Add this to the head section of all your non-home page pages:
<script type="text/javascript"> var homePagePath = "your full home page path here" if(document.loc ation != homePagePath) {document.locat ion = homePagePath) </script>
But, I have to say that this is NOT normal web site behavior and I do not recommend you actually to it. It is what I'd do if I needed to do what you want, but I just can't think of a case where I'd want to do this. It takes a lot of power away from the user.

Hi Catharinus,
If I understand correctly, you want to force your web pages that are "sub-pages", (meaning you reach them by following the functionality of your application) to re-direct to your web application starting page, if the user click from outside of the application.
If this is the case ,you can do it programatically . In ASP.NET you have a Context object and you can deduct the web page you are coming from. I think you can do this using some server variables as well. In case your page is called from a wrong page you can re-direct it to the starting web page.
Best regards, Eugen

In

Where? Sub-pages (as you put it) should always have links on them (otherwise a user would be stuck there), one of which, should be back to the home page. But, you mentioned that Google is listing the home page when you do your search, so what is the problem?
Is it not possible to go to the homepage automatically when

Well no! If you click a link to "A", why should it take you to "B"?
And stay on the subpage, when entering from within the

Huh? You want to leave the sub-page but stay on it as well?

Clicking on a link (in Google or anywhere) is only supposed to take you to one page. If that page is one of your web pages, you have been taken to your web site. Hyperlinks don't open web sites, per se. They take you to a page that is part of a web site.
