Track-days.co.uk?

[Dan_1981]

Has it been turned off or redirected or something?

Ph was blocked at work but I could use the td address instead.

Now this redirects to the ph address.

I have no PH access

Or has it been done at this end?

It's been turned off.

Boo...

Are there any existing alternatives still?

I'm in the same position as Dan. PH not available at work, but TD was available. Why has it been turned off? Are there any other mirrors we can use?

You're unfortunately going to lose a few members if this change is permanent and there's no alternatives made available.

So,

We've turned off track-days.co.uk because for search purposes it's a full duplicate of the site and content which basically drags our ratings down on Google and so on.

We took a careful look at how many people used it and decided that the number of users didn't justify the detrimental effect to our search ranking.

We're all slaves to the great SEO master

We're sorry for the few who now cannot access PH where PistonHeads.com is blocked.

Search rankings more important than access for users?

Hasn't Garlick recently launched an initiative to get users' feedback on the running of PH?
I think this is something I'd like to raise as it's not a very nice reflection on the attitude of the site towards existing members.

Turned off? A shame. Oh, well.

At least found out why, on here.
