KNOWN ISSUE: Authorship for subdomain only [see http://bit.ly/10GIBdz]
Why my hub url in google is appearing like the following; http://hubpages.com/hub/Basic-Terms-in-Accounting
Instead of appearing like this; http://dilipchandra12.hubpages.com/hub/ … Accounting
--- Almost all the hubs of mine are having the url appearing (changed) in the same lines.
Here is another example: Search the following in Google --- "Top 10 Cricketers of All Time" the first result in the search is my hub. There some other url is coming instead of the following URL; http://dilipchandra12.hubpages.com/hub/ … f-All-Time
My Google authorship (Picture) is also not in the search results. Hitherto it (authorship) was there but now the url was changed and the google authorship was also gone. Why it is like that, what is going on, please explain. Thank you.Thanks Matthew,
I remember our email conversation on this topic. There is of course an advantage to be able to change titles 'on the fly' as we can, using this particular indexing method.
The original URL remains the same but the title can be changed, as we often do when search data is available and indicates a variation on the existing title.
This is a simple traditional root and leaf index arrangement.
The difference with this thread seems to me, to be that the order in which the elements of the sub domain are being displayed.
In my case, the correct view as you mentioned above would be molometer.hubpages.com/hub/whateveriwrote.htm
What seems to be causing some people concern, is that their work is displaying the URL something like this.
hubpages.com/molometer/hub/whateveriwrote.htm. This of course is also valid in terms of the root and leaf structure.
The anomaly that many people appear to have noticed, is that traffic 'seems' to be higher on one URL format over the other. This of course could just be coincidence and requires a longer period of study.
I did have the other issue mentioned here as well. i.e some of my hubs not showing up in WMT and being 410's not found. When I looked into it. I did find a website (vidgrids.com) that had copied my URL's and then somehow managed to foul them up and generated loads of these 410's and continue to do so.
I just tried to fetch the hub in the photo it but still shows as not found?
See attached example.
When this happens. Traffic to these hubs plummets, obviously.
Never a dull moment hey!

Thanks Matthew,
I'll take a look.
BTW
That site I mentioned that seems to be curating other peoples videos. I noticed that when I played my videos on the site, there were no ads and the hyperlinks that point to my hubs do not work either, this is where a lot of these 404's are coming from.
I think I had better send them a message (DMCA) and find out what they are up to.

What I noticed is that when I...
