Redirects and META tags:

  • Frames Redirect: Most finitesite.com customers have a .com, .net, .org or other top level domain name that points at their finitesite.com account.

    finitesite.com's standard redirect is done using an index page located on our server that is configured using two frames.  

    The top frame points directly to your finitesite.com member account, or other site you have specified, and pulls up the content while still displaying your top level domain name in the title bar.  The bottom frame is not visible, but displays a blank page.

    When you type in your domain name and see your page, you will notice that any links you follow will not be displayed in the address bar, only your domain name appears.  If you view the source for this page, you will see the default  frames code.


    If you want to insert META that the search engines will pick up under your domain name, you must have this done in the frames redirect page directly on the server.  If you insert it in the page that your top level domain name points at, the search engines will not be able to see it.

    Example META Tags would be like this:

    <title>Orchard Hill Road Apple Orchard and Farm Stand</title>
    <META name="description" content="Visit the Apple Orchard on Orchard Hill Road for fresh apples, apple butter and preserve, cider, apple sauce or pick your own fresh macintosh and granny smith apples yourself.">
    <META name="keywords" content="apples, orchard, apple sauce, cider, pick your own, preserve.">


    In addition to the standard META, you may want to insert content between the <p>   </p> tags in the body.  This content may be the only thing that appears on  your listing, especially with search engines like google.com.

    For example, if now the <p>   </p> tags are 

    <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.
    or yourname.com listed here.</p>

    You may change it to be:

    <p>At the Apple Orchard on Orchard Hill Road, we believe an apple a day keeps the Doctor away.  Come and pick fresh apples at our orchard, or stop by our stand and get cider, apple sauce, pie, apple butter and try our new apple preserve.</p>

    Also, if you want to see two example sites, one with no changes, and one with META and keywords in the <p>   </p> tags in the body see the following sites:

    http://cardapprovals.com
    this site has good META and keywords

    http://apply-for-a-credit-card.com
    this site has NO META or keywords inserted

    When looking at these pages...
    In Internet Explorer Browser View menu then Source
    In Netscape: View menu, then Page Source

    To see how they are listed or not listed in google.com, go to http://google.com and type cardapprovals.com.  Then try it with apply-for-a-credit-card.com.  

    If you want to insert META into your redirected domain name, you can submit it to us and we will insert it for you.  There is a one-time fee of $25 for each server change.  

    Here is an example of the entire page code if you wanted to make your own BASIC META and submit it for insertion:


    If you wish to submit your META, first click here to authorize the one-time fee of $25.  

    Once you receive your receipt and four digit order number, you send your META or the entire page code including HTML as a .txt, text file attachment with your order number and top level domain name in the subject line to support @ yourfavorite.com

    It may take up to 48 hours for the server changes to update and propagate, although it may be as soon as 1 hour.  Only files submitted as a proper .txt file will be processed.  No html or pasted emails will be processed.

    Other server changes you can make include submission of your entire index page code, a META redirect, rather than a frames redirect, a temporary message or HTML page, or any other insertion you require.

    We are not responsible for the content of the code submitted, so please do not use this option if you have no idea what you are doing.  Server page changes are not refundable.
