I recently switched to stealth url forwarding and noticed that the search engines only shows the url and the page title and does not cashe the pages. Is there any way to get the pages cashed with url forwarding? I'm running on Apache 2.xxx

Simple. Don't Forward EVER.

Even if google did recognise the page it would spot the content was the same as the other page and they'd give you the boot. It's quite simple: have one URL per website and you'll be fine.

Why are you using "stealth url forwarding"? And what are you using to accomplish that, JavaScript?

Just use a 301 redirect, or if you can't do that use a 30 second meta-refresh. If you use the meta refresh you should remove the old page content and any optimization you may have added.

If you are just trying to spam the search engines I don't think you'll find any help here...

No..My port 80 is blocked. So i have to use stealth url forwarding to port 8090 for the server to be online. Or..is there another way?

I don't know what webserver your using but Apache has a directive called "Listen" that allows you to specify what IP and port it should use for incoming webtraffic. Usually it's set to port 80, but you can easily change it to listen on 8090 instead.

I'm sure most other webserver apps are capable of that as well.
