Exclude Subdomain

Post by scott.hovey »

How would one exclude a subdomain?

www.example.com
dogs.example.com
cats.example.com

What if I wanted to exclude cats?

there are multiple ways, depending on how your walk is
set up.

If you only have baseURLs in www.example.com and dogs.example.com and "offsite links" set to "N", then they'll be automatically excluded.

You could also add "http://cats.example.com" to Exclusion Prefix.

I suppose it is already doing that then. I couldn't tell by the 'errors' if it was excluding images because of the extension or because of the domain. I hoped that by further excluding the subdomain it would reduced the number of reported errors (1.1 million or so).

Are you using a high verbosity (3 or 4)? Things like "unwanted extension" and "off-site link" won't show at a verbosity of 2, but real errors will.

A verbosity of 3 or 4 is meant for diagnosing errors, and does indeed yap too much for regular use.
