Mistake by placing NOFOLLOW NOINDEX

Hey guys, this is my what happens, by mistake one of the persons working with our site place on the index.php my homepage the noindex nofollow meta tag, and we just noticed that, last week I noticed that google have my index in this form htt : // mysite . com/?siteid2033 with a variable, our index have a lot of backlinks and all the pages of the site link back to them......so is there any chance that because of that big mistake google just create a variable in order to place all the backlinks?

the variable must come from a link which is pointing at your website. Sometimes webmasters who sell ads or give links will add a variable so that you can track where the referrals came from... Google would not arbitrarily add it.

As long as you take the noindex tags off you should be fine as soon as google finds your content it will begin ranking it based on its algorithm

I have tried that too, but after removing it immediately, it come back to rankings. You can submit Google reconsideration request if it takes it so long and you are sure that is the only problem.

Sitemap

You might consider resubmitting your Google sitemap to help Google find those pages.

Depends on server type, if you are running apache/linux you can use .htaccess to do the redirects.

Luckily if you are using wordpress, you can do that using a plugin.

For an Microsoft IIS, you can also do some some redirects at the server level.

You can check your redirection status using this:

Thanks a lot for all your comments!!

The problem is solve now......I couldn't an .htaccess that works for that but I find the way to make that with PHP, and I want to share the code with you guys in case you have a same problem on the future.:

<?php
$request_uri=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$qm = strpos($request_uri,"?siteid=xxxx");
if ($qm) {
$goto = "http://mysite.com/";

header("Location: $goto");
exit;
}
?>

So basically it redirects the url with that id to my index, and also google took like 3 days in place my url right after I correct the metatags of noindex nofollow to index follow.

Thanks a lot for your help.
