I am wondering why the directory generator creates files without having an index file.

Here is my headache:

I upload my generated directory link pages (tree structure) to

www.mydomain.com/

Now I upload lets say 60 pages and they go like this

/directory.html
/directory-main.html
/general-1.html
/general-59.html

Now I am sure you get the point,

All the emails that are sent out to potential partners will show the directory being at www.mydomain.com/

My directory is actual on a subdomain, but the issue is the same regardless.

now when a potential link partner goes to my.domain.com/ to check out the directory they will get lets say a "403" as is common with 1and1.com hosting accounts.

The only way I can get the generated files to work is I have to 301 my domain which is for example www.mydomain.com

to

www.mydomain.com/mydirectory.html

Now does that not seem like a stupid problem to be dealing with and wasting my time on.


Am I missing something, there is not detail explained in any of the help pages, forum or ticket knowledgebase.

How do you suggest I fix this without 301 one page to another ?

Hi organicseoguru,

If you'd like to publish your directory on a sub-domain, you'll need to create a project in LinkAssistant for the sub-domain and to specify the URL of the website you promote in its anchor settings (Preferences -> Partner Management -> Anchor Settings). Basically, the workflow will be just the same as with 3-way link exchange.
