CycleReady URL / Linking issue

[Sergey-Litvinenko]

1. When you search for CycleReady (use exact word match) via Google you have this url at the top of SERPs

http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/test/ (note /test/ part of url)

1. Click on "Visit cycleready.com for details about our project" (note mention of a domain name)

results in 404 when clicked - reason - missing http part of url when inserting the link

1. when you (if you are willing to jump through hoops) enter cycleready.com manually here is where you end up via 301 - http://hello9219.wix.com/cycleready

major branding/reputation issue

Recommended Fixes:

1. Use this url - http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/cycleready/
2. Add http part to url for the outbound link to read like this: http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/test/http://www.cycleready.com (or whatever the platform requires to link out) (note that you should rename /test/ part first)
3. use www.cycleready.com domain instead of http://hello9219.wix.com/cycleready you can easily find a free host that would let you host it under your own TLD or get the cheapest ($5 or so) monthly hosting from GoDaddy or BlueHost

Hi @Sergey-Litvinenko, thanks for reporting this and apologies for the delay.

It looks like this was a test post that was superseded by http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/sf-cycleready/.

I've submitted a pull request for review by @therebelrobot (#149) that:

• Updates http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/test/ to redirect to http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/projects/sf-cycleready/
• Fixed the URL so it absolutely links to http://www.cycleready.com/

The 3rd point would ultimately be up to cycleready to configure wix to serve this domain directly instead of redirecting to http://hello9219.wix.com/cycleready. I'll try to track down a contact and see if they have interest in doing this.
