Well, gringo basically summed it up 
But Google might do re-indexing if (now I am not trying to bring a couple of pageviews to my arcade, just trying to be specific):
Sixty6 Arcade has a problem when games are played (with the www.) as:
Copter Attack Shooting
Now Google has already indexed the www. part and given good PR to most pages.
However, since the games sometimes don't play and say they have to register when you use the www. link (even though they are allowed to play upto 250 games), it works when you send them to a link without the www.
So since traffic was more important to me, I did a 301 redirect which redirects all www. pages to the ones without the www. with the following code:
Quote:
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www.sixty6arcade.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://sixty6arcade.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
|
Now because it was a 301 redirect, Google is slowly de-indexing my www. pages (they have to re-update the cache or visit that specific page to know that there is a 301 redirect, they don't know that I have done it to the ENTIRE site, so they do page by page) and starting to re-index my new Sixty6 Arcade - MySpace and Flash Games - pages.
301 redirects take nearly a month if you have over 1,000 pages or so..Hope that helps you out!
