Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you !

My question is wrong or nobody have answer for the same.

Looking a little further, you only have 2 redirect hops. As I said earlier, there is no big of an issue. And, you won't get any improvement in rankings, nor will impact your crawling (you only have 1 page). It looks like you have 2 different rules: 1- http:// -> https:// 2- non-www -> www I don't think that your hosting provider will help you with these redirects. You'd have to do it yourself via .htaccess file. Here you have the htaccess documentation, if you want to know more. Hope it helps. Best luck. Gaston

Hi, I agree with Andreas. I attached two links that you may find interesting. One is from Matt Cutts /Google explaining about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ets7nHOV1Yo And other is from  Sixtrix - Hreflang guide for international SEO https://www.sistrix.es/hreflang-guide/

I agree with Andreas explanation of Google rules on using nofollow /

Yikes I just realized something and let me add onto this story. Maybe this is the issue and cause of the 301 not really taking effect and the new domain almost seeming to start from scratch. The old domain was lets say for example 123 paper company with a focus on the same topic.  The old design was also updated when we did the 301. When we switched the domain the client changed addresses (yet again) , changed his business name,  changes his website design and kept the same content.  The content has been updates and modified a little but its pretty much the same. Since the client made all these changes at once I feel google might be negating the 301 benefits because it feels like the domain was sold and redirected to a new law firm. what does the community think?

Thanks so much for the clear and helpful response. Amending the links is easy enough for us to do, we'll get to it.

Hi Simon, I hope you are well. Is that an error you're getting in Search Console? I'm checking your site, and I can't replicate that issue you are having with x-robots. I have tried with Screaming Frog and my command line. None of them returned noindex. In the image attached, you'll see what I got. Also, I tried a site: search, and your website is indexed. You have only one page, is that correct?  Other image attached Hope it helps. Best luck Gastón v1hgAFP Ktkoit7

Do you know how long it takes Google to drop pages from Google's index/cache?

Hi The seo implications can be significant. The first step is to audit - search console probably easiest the organic traffic hitting that exact page.  The value of the page determines the content changes you may consider. Thus if a page is ranking very well for a high-value target then the changes we recommend would be minimal, primarily CX focussed - enhance value. Enjoy no duplication, and not over optimised. If the page is a poor performer with limited or no organic traffic, then there is little to no risk in a full content change.  If that is the case, do whatever you like... to improve the value of the page.  The only element to monitor is internal links from that page, again measure impact and audit. Hope that helps.

Thank you!

My company currently uses an EU subdomain (similar approach to what you're describing, except varying the subdomain rather than the TLD). But one of the issues we have found is that the search engines have no geo-targeting options for Europe as a whole. They allow to target a single country. Or a single language. Or a country-language combination. But there are no options to target "Europe". So, with hreflang tags, and also with GSC settings, you will experience some challenges because of this. We haven't resolved all our issues, whcih is why I'm not providing a solution to you, but we are far enough in to know it is problematic.

Technically 404 means "temporarily unavailable but coming back later" so you might want to consider Status 410 instead of 404. You could also supplement it with Meta no-index, if you can't use the HTML implementation then fire the no-index directive through the HTTP header using X-robots: https://developers.google.com/search/reference/robots_meta_tag (scroll down a little to find the relevant part) E.g: "HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 21:42:43 GMT (…) X-Robots-Tag: noindex (…)" ... something like that. You can't use Search Console to remove URLs from Google at all. The remove URL tool, only removes URLs one at a time and it only does so 'temporarily', the URLs pop back again after a bit. The best thing you can do is give Google some harsher directives and hope they listen, in a month or two most of those should be gone Don't use robots.txt on the URLs as, if Google can't crawl them it won't find the 410s or the no-index directives

Hi Joe, Thanks very much for your reply. This is the extension that we've purchased earlier for this purpose and going to refund it as it turned out that custom canonical URLs can only be implemented on the product pages but not on the category pages with this extension...

thanks for your answer that was helpful

There  is no difference between "Redirect 301", "Redirect permanent" and  "RedirectPermanent". It is clear from mod Alias documentation: "This directive makes the client know that the Redirect is permanent (status 301). Exactly equivalent to Redirect permanent."   "permanent - Returns a permanent redirect status (301) indicating that the resource has moved permanently." But, these directives are really confusing, because they are not page to page, but directory to directory.  For example: Redirect 301 /a-very-old-post/ http://yoursite.com/a-very-new-post/ Surprisingly, it will redirect all old subpages to new subpages. In particular it will redirect  /a-very-old-post/page1 to /a-very-new-post/page1  Therefore better to use RedirectMatch or RewriteCond+RewriteRule for page by page redirections and for redirections with query strings.

Assuming Google translate is mostly correct, it looks like you've really over optimized this page with keyword phrases. I'm all for including keywords a couple to a few times within your content but it needs to be written for a human with search engines in mind not the other way around. I found that you have the exact phrase, "Furniture moving companies in Jordan" 15 times within the content on this page and the phrase, "in Jordan", 60 times because you include it after every mention of "furniture transport companies", "furniture transfer companies" and a few other variations. This seems like overkill. After cleaning up your content, I'd suggest getting more links to your site from relevant content as every site that wants to rank needs to do this. Good luck.

Thank you so much for the response. I have addressed the layout problem (Wordpress themes give me headaches sometimes). I will look into tracking down the internal links next.

Have had a lot of success with that kind of deeper logic in the past, you can usually quite easily create such rules using robots.txt wildcards

I have a question about the offerCount item within an AggregateOffer type. I want to show the "true" price range of every product in our inventory but we don't automatically load them all to the page. Most implementations I have seen that trigger the price range showing in the SERP have the individual offers marked up further down the page as well, but that wouldn't work for us. We show 10 or so out of 100s. In my mind there are two options here. We can use the true aggregate price of the set and skip tagging up individual offers. Or we can tag up the offers displayed but still show what I am calling the "true" aggregate price. Any opinions on whether Google needs the individual offers tagged up? And any opinions on whether the individual offers tagged up need to "match" the aggregate offer prices? THANKS
