Hi,
I have site that has some CGI scripts that use https. Yahoo has picked up a link from somewhere and thinks I have two sub domains
http://www.example.com and
https://www.example.com.
When I try to delete
https://www.example.com in SiteExplorer it then wants to delete all of my site, ie all of the pages that use http as well as the
https://www.example.com index.
As a result of this Yahoo seems to be applying a dupe penalty and my site, which used to be at #1 is now around #50 for the main target keyword term.
Is there a simple 301 redirect solution that will sort this out without harming my ranking elsewhere, I'm #2 on Google for this term, or am I better off allowing Yahoo to wither on the vine?
Many thanks for any pointers.
