Hi Rob, Thank you for your quick response, but I see that the aliasing doesn't work fine as I thought it was all along.. Here is why I think so..
For your understanding, I put up a sample comparison page that contains embedded gadgets from both the original url and the new one. Here is the sample page : http://www.freewebs.com/udaysasi/comparison.html The URL A in the page was used when Google Pages was on. When the Google Pages service was shut down, I moved my gadget to the Google Code (URL B) and filed an aliasing request for A to B. By then, my gadget was embedded on a lot of sites, (I see about 3 million page views every month on Google Analytics).. Most of them have the old URL A. Not until recently did I notice that those webpages are serving very old version of the gadget, and hence changes I made over the past year or so never reached those users. So, My question is - Is this expected behavior? In other words, Whenever I make changes to the gadget, should I re-file the aliasing request? Thanks in advance for your help. -Uday On Sep 27, 6:31 pm, Rob Russell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Uday, > Caching time can vary by the area that your users are in since the gadget > will be sent from servers near them.
