      Hey Experts,

      I hope you are all doing great, I'm extremely confused right now. Any help will be much appreciated. I have redirected my old blog hellgatelondon.com to my new blog iriveramerica.com.

      It has been redirected for many days with wild card from bluehost and also within htaccess but Moz link explorer won't detect it, what's the problem? anyone please?

      Kind regards...

        Hi

        I see what happen you 301 redirected all of your pages to your new homepage

        three examples (the fix is below)

        redirects

        | Redirect Type | URL |
        |   | http://www.hellgatelondon.com/system-requirements/ |
        | 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/system-requirements/ |
        | 301 | http://iriveramerica.com/ |
        | 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/ |

        | Redirect Type | URL |
        |   | http://www.hellgatelondon.com/namco-announces-free-server-support-2009-hellgate |
        | 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/namco-announces-free-server-support-2009-hellgate |
        | 301 | http://iriveramerica.com/ |
        | 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/ |

        | Redirect Type | URL |
        |   | http://www.hellgatelondon.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released |
        | 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released |
        | 301 | http://iriveramerica.com/ |
        | 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/ |

        http://www.hellgatelondon.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released

        So it 301 redirects to:

        https://iriveramerica.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released

        You need to set up page to page 301 redirects

        If you have not made any changes to your overall site structure, but have simply relocated the site in its current state, you can add the following lines to your .htaccess file located at the root of your old domain:

         <ifmodulemod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine On
          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^hellgatelondon.com$ [OR]
          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.hellgatelondon.com$
          RewriteRule (.*)$ https://iriveramerica.com.com/$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodulemod_rewrite.c> 
        

        If you have made changes to your site structure, you can still use the lines above on your old domain, but you will also need to create redirects in the .htaccess file on your new domain to handle the specific site changes.

        Then in Google

        Use the change of address tool here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/change-address,

        Here is the how-to: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en

        You can always use this to help with 301's

        I hope this is was helpful,

              Sorry I do see your using Nginx on the new domain.

              See

              “Example 1 — Moving to a Different Domain”

              https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-temporary-and-permanent-redirects-with-nginx

              sincerely ,

                Your server is 301 redirecting every page from hellgatelondon.com to the https://iriveramerica.com/ homepage.

                This is very bad.

                To fix this fast

                Step 1

                First you will need to add your domain that you want to redirect to Cloudflare. Simply signup for a free account and click on “+ Add Site.” Input your domain and click on “Begin Scan.” It may take a minute or two and then click on “Continue Setup.”

                Step 2

                By default the scan will show you the records of your current domain. You can simply delete everything and simply leave an A name record for both the www version and your primary domain. The IP address is simply the one provided by your current domain registrar. In this case, it was just. Then click on “Continue.”

                Step 3

                Select the Cloudflare free plan and click “Continue.”

                Step 4

                You will then need to point your current domain to the Cloudflare nameservers. You can do this at your domain registrar.

                Step 5

                Under the Crypto menu, select “Flexible” SSL. You will need this to ensure that redirects over HTTPS also work.

                Step 6

                Under the Page Rules menu click on “Create Page Rule.”

                Step 7

                You will then want to enter the following pattern:

                https://hellgatelondon.com/*
                

                Select “Forwarding URL” and “301 – Permanent Redirect” for the settings, and input the following rule:

                https://iriveramerica.com/$1
                

                The /$1 enables the wildcard part to function. Then click on “Save and Deploy.”

                he single rule above makes the following work:

                • http://www.hellgatelondon.com/ 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com
                • https://hellgatelondon.com/ 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com
                • http://hellgatelondon.com/* 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com/*
                • https://www.hellgatelondon.com/* 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com/*
