Directory structure

When google comes to my site http://www.impulsive-solutions.co.uk it redirects to http://www.impulsive-solutions.co.uk/isweb/ which is the location of the main site. Does this have an effect on the search engine ranking / spidering or is there no problem in this whatsoever?

I can't comment on if or how much it will affect SEO, but you could use mod_rewrite to get rid of the /isweb directory if all of your files are accessed relative to it.

Any effect that the redirection will have depends on how you redirect it. If you use a proper 301 redirection then you should be fine. Any other methods and you coudl suffer. The worst thing you can do is set a Javascript redirect as that won't be followed by pretty much all serach engines.

andymoo agrees: I agree proper 301 redirection should be okay / javascript would just prevent spiders from doing
their stuff
