Invalid "Mandrake" links : We need you !
#includeResource("Skel.ArticleHeader") After the name change from "Mandrake" to "Mandriva", numerous web sites worldwide have links which are no more reachable, We cannot redirect these links since we do not own any longer domain names "mandrake"
eg : http://www.mandrakesoft.com - http://www.mandrakestore.com - http://www.mandrakeclub.com – and so on
For this reason, Mandriva indexation in search engines, especially a seek with the word "Linux" is nearly non-existent (it was not the case previously, our sites audience has dropped for the same reasons)
We ask for help in order to identify these sites and send them an email to inform them for the right links to add :
eg : https://mandriva.com - http://store.mandriva.com - http://club.mandriva.com – and so on.
The old links to mandrakelinux must be replaced by links to mandriva.com.
The task is huge and we today need the help of all club members and more largely the whole community.
To know the sites with bad links use easily google, for instance :
"link:www.mandrakesoft.com" or "link:www.mandrakestore.com" and so on.
the list of all the sites with bad links appear.
Choose in the list below, copy / paste to google and send an email to the owner of the sites having bad links :
link:http://www.mandrakesoft.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.mandrakestore.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.mandrakeclub.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.mandrakeexpert.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.mandrakelinux.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.mandrake-linux.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.linuxmandrake.com - Google - Yahoo !
link:http://www.linux-mandrake.com - Google - Yahoo !
Thanks to compile the contacted sites adresses and send us that list by sending an email to : "webmaster at mandrivaclub point com", with the following subject : indexation-mandriva
To sum up :
1- Identify sites with dead links
2- send them an email asking for the correction of the wrong links (if you cannot find an email to contact, send to [email protected]" + "[email protected]" + "[email protected]" + "[email protected]"
3- send us an email with the sites list you have contacted
The work you are going to do will be very useful for us and we will inform you of the evolution of that work
Thanks to all for your help

"Mandrakesoft" changed its name and is now called "Mandriva". The Mandrake links provided on your website are no longer available (dead links). They should be change to mandriva.com
example:
http://www.mandrakesoft.com became https://mandriva.com
http://www.mandrakestore.com became http://store.mandriva.com
http://www.mandrakeclub.com became http://club.mandriva.com
http://www.mandrakeexpert.com became http://expert.mandriva.com
http://www.mandrakelinux.com became https://mandriva.com
http://www.mandrake-linux.com became https://mandriva.com
http://www.linuxmandrake.com became https://mandriva.com
http://www.linux-mandrake.com became https://mandriva.com
Best regards."
en effet, les liens ne poitent jamais vers http://wwwnew.mandriva.com/ mais pointent tous vers https://mandriva.com/
conclusion -> PR = 0
NB: le PR du Corporate Club est à 5 sur certaines pages, le PR du store est à 7, le PR de feu mandrake.com était à 8 (comme novell) et le PR de redhat est de 9
NB2: déja transmit à Kadjo, Ayo et Nico depuis longtemps.
On y trouve : "MandrakeSoft offers a wide range of support and services."
Et un lien http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ (en bas de la page)
Current version 1.2 edited by Arkub on »… in planets and others agregators is not very helpful :(
I'll add your links in my website, for the bonus.
Peut-être ce genre de chose pourrait-il être développé par Mandriva?
If many members were to type in the same search into the same engines then they will get the same lists, and even across different engines the top ones will tend to be the same.
As most people will start at the top of the list, this means that those link owners will get a massive 'flame' from Mandriva users - not the best way of getting someone to help you, and it could even be seen as aggressive and loutish.
If these dead links are that important, it would be better for Mandriva to compile an initial list in a database that members could add to, where duplicates would be removed and the host sites identified (usefull to Mandriva for any purpose). Members wishing to help could ask the database for a list and would be given 25 un-actioned links randomly selected. A link would be marked as actioned when it, or its parent site had been given to 20 members - this should be sufficient to stress the point to the site owners without becoming a nuisance.
I think you should really start to make some decision about your own links.
65% of certificates are expired ( on club, sp, store, etc etc ) For example https://club..mandriva.com has expire 9th December 2005.
Did you need some help to have a new one installed ??? After that try to have some standard or reverse-proxy www1 wwwnew etc … It would really help to have something different than dead link
et un peu plus bas
ou are building an unofficial package, please see nhttp://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/DistroSpecificReleaseTag

Le certificat numérique pour le club est encore plus mauvais. Il est non reconnaissable et vérifiable par les navigateurs.
Fin de mes problèmes dans 33 jours car fin de l'abonnement.
Vraiment dommage, mais alors on ne saurait dire à quel point. En tant que VIP, je trouve ridicule de ne pas pouvoir shooté les agrèables post pourris précédents ...
M'enfin c'est la vie, un jour tout gris.

Ultimately, the best solution may be to buy back those domain names and then redirect them yourselves to whatever they are now supposed to be pointed to.
