Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For technical SEO, I tend to utilize the Site Auditor tool from Ravwen Tools. Its great.

Hello there, Remember that PA and DA depend on link metrics. So, if there is no link pointing to the page you are studying, there will be no metrics. Search this topic URL in OSE and will see that it has no backlink. There you have the reason why it has PA=1. Age is not the only factor. Hope it helps. GR PS: As a general rule, it is advisable to do not rely in only one metric (or one platform metrics), try to compare and correlate with other platforms and metrics.

I believe it's a limitation of our CMS. I'll see if we can try it in htaccess or PHP. Thanks for the insight.

301 redirects should do the trick but you need to figure out how this happened to begin with and make sure to squash the bug to fix the issue.

hey nice question i recently got lil knowledge about how we can remove our site backlink  from other site webmaster tool is very useful in that it also have feature to remove negative backlink.  disavow tool will help you in this problem.  **[Irrelevant link removed by forum moderator.] **

This will fix  the 302 redirect that Moz is showing and will change those redirects from 302 to 301

Yes, they do. If you want to keep 301 redirects in place, you need to stay the owner of the domain and ensure it continues to 301 redirect to your new domain.

Screaming Frog can also do image sitemaps. Screaming Frog does have an annual cost of about £149, but it has other great tools besides image sitemaps so I think it is well worth the cost. I use Screaming Frog to get a "heartbeat" of what is going on with a site. It will show you any broken pages or pages missing h1s, page titles, etc.

Hey there, I'd go for the Option 2, since rel=canonical passes the link juice in comparison to the noindex tag. Also, make sure you set up the rel=canonical to all the pagination pages as well. Hope it helps. Cheers, Martin

Hi Micey, Is there some additional info you're still looking for? The resources from Martin look pretty comprehensive to me, so I would second his recommendations. You can also just use Chrome DevTools for emulating different screens as a first step (although you'll always want to do real device testing as well).

Thanks Nick

Thanks, everyone! We'll consider adding these canonical tags in the future, but won't flag it as urgent at the moment

David, This seems like the most logical explanation and makes complete sense. Thank you! I can confirm that I haven't linked to this page from my other website pages as I haven't quite figured out where the link fits best. However, I'll figure that out now and see how it goes in the next few weeks. Thanks so much for your help, and nice last name! -Chris

Completely agree, just 1 character might not influence anything. Search engines are very well able to understand what that specific character means in the context if you add 360 next to it.

Thanks Steve! In this scenario I would do the following: Add a noindex tag to all of these PPC landing pages (will ensure the pages aren't indexed). Make sure the URLs aren't in any sitemaps (good practice). Once confirmed that they aren't indexed, add a disallow rule in robots.txt (this will preserve crawl budget). Hope that helps and all the best.

Hi I would not noindex a "/" version because you will simply lose all of that traffic. I would make sure as Martin has said that here is a proper directive in the .htaccess.txt that automatically redirects "/" to the non "/2 version - knocking the "/" off. Any competent web developer can do this for you. If this is a shared server then you will need to ask Squarespace for help as you may not have access to an .htaccess.txt file. Regards Nigel

You appear to have the MX sub-domain also set up as an A record. If you have a mac / linux you can run the command: host aspmx3.googlemail.com.sullivansolarpower.com You get the result aspmx3.googlemail.com.sullivansolarpower.com has address 72.10.48.198 Where you should get the result "not found". I think you want to delete the A record (though check the documentation of your email provider first). You should only need them set up as MX records and shouldn't need the A record. You've done the right thing by setting up the redirect - which should mean that the pages drop out of the index and those links disappear. (Note that there is also an https error on the aspmx3 sub-domain - but given that you don't actually want it, I don't suppose that matters that much). Hope that helps.

Hi Alexandre, It depends: If the page you are talking about is one of that you disallowed (...URL's that contains a "?") then i guess not because then in the robots.txt you would prevent Google to crawl it even if its in your sitemap. If this is not the case then Google will be able to access it. If it does and when is another question. --> I am not sure if you should include the (...URL's that contains a "?")  pages in robots.txt. If they are unique and do not include duplicate content you could Google let them crawl and just prevent them from being indexed by using NOINDEX tag: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en Hope this helps.

Hi Kate I work with a lot of eCommerce companies and when a category is essentially in limbo - between seasons where stock may be re-bought then I keep it live. To simply redirect to another unrelated page is not, in my opinion the best result for the customer. If a customer is searching for Levis (just an example) and you don't have any then why would he want to end up on a  generic Jeans page or another brand? The best result is that they see you are out of stock. You could even just put a message on that page saying - Sold Out - stock arriving soon or something like that. (Get the buying plans off the buyers! - they know what is on order for the next 6-9 months!) The page will remain and get repopulated once stock arrives. If the category is simply out of stock never to return then I would consider redirecting to a higher category - but if it was a brand I may still leave the page as being sold out. (The alternative here is to allow it to 404 so the page disappears all together from SERPs - but then style your 404 page so that they can follow a menu of alternatives). The last thing you want is a potential customer going round in circles trying to find the brand because you have redirect them somewhere else. So a message like 'We are out of stock of Levis right now but check out these other awesome brands - with a menu' is perfectly fine and a better User Experience (UX) By creating the best UX you are far more likely to please your buyers and frankly a few pages of skinny content is not going to kill you in SERPS - you have a perfectly valid reason. Watch Rand's video on alternative methods but I would do this. Regards Nigel

Thanks for your quick response Anders.  Actually, I was thinking the exact about Disallow in last section but not sure. Now it's clear. Your reply helped me a lot.
