    Your headers are still messed up. You STILL have an issue there that should be corrected. Unless you wish it to come back and bite you in the arse later, you would do well to correct it.

    I am still seeing 301 and 406 headers when accessing the site via www and non-www respectively from any server.

    Same results as posted here: http://www.webproworld.com/webmaster...l=1#post542340

    savant: Email your hosts support department and tell them to run lynx on your site with a full head check like this:

    lynx -head 'http://savantcreativegroup.com'

    Ask them why in the heck your site is returning a 406 (not acceptable) header instead of the proper 200 (success) header.

    I have a feeling that they are doing this based on UserAgent, and if so, Google very well may run into more issues 'at times' while re-spidering your site. Which is why I said correct them before they come back to bite you in the arse.

    As noted at http://www.webproworld.com/webmaster...l=1#post542490 ,

    The 406 error appears to have been an artifact of the LYNX Request Header having used a Request Method of "TRACE;" using "GET" and "HEAD" both yield a 200 response code. As the site has a Custom 406 page, the result of the 301 is the file named 406.shtml.
    I.e., I can only duplicate the 406 when using "TRACE."

    Nope, checked that the first time you said it, and set trace to off by default. I also just checked it just now with trace off with the same results. even setting it to force a get comes back 406. Not to mention if you actually look at the commandline I posted both times, I had lynx already set to force HEAD '-head'

    Most peculiar.

    I just now rechecked it on http://web-sniffer.net/ , using every User Agent provided for there, with the same results.

    Twilight Zone? Or, Outer Limits?

    Addendum: Did a check using www.seoconsultants.com/tools/headers , using User Agent Lynx 2.8.6, and there get 406 for "GET," "HEAD," and "POST."
