You'll never get a response from google. They've decided that our work IP addreess is in Canada. There's a hack that everyone has to do google.com/ncr which tells it to not do country IP address stuff. SIgh, each and every individual in the company has to do this.
Google thinks that they own the internet. Soon they may. On 4/26/07, Robert Rothenberg <[email protected]> wrote:
I have this ongoing problem with Google's spider as well. The pages on some sites I maintain have dynamically inserted <base href=...> elements (which is a nice trick to edit pages in a subdirectory of a test machine and have all of the links work). The pages also links to separate JavaScript files to save bandwidth using <script src=...> elements. Googlebot doesn't understand that base URL is also applied to script URLs. So when I'm at page http://www.example.doc/something, even though base points to "http://www.example.com/";, and the script src is "scripts/widget.js", Googlebot looks for files in, you guessed it, "http://www.example.doc/something/scripts/widget.js";. I wrote to Google's technical people about this. No response.
