Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes, that makes perfect sense! That's exactly what I was looking for. I will make the old content a draft and utilize it some place else. Thank you!

Hi Tawny That's great thank you!

Thank you,

Thank you,

Hey Zouhour, Blocking Rogerbot would make it so that our crawlers could not access your site to offer Site Crawl or Page Optimization data, but your keyword rankings should still be unaffected. We don't need to be able to crawl your site to report on your keyword rankings. Only the data that requires our crawler to reach your site would be compromised, including Site Crawl, Page Optimization, and Crawl Tests. Unfortunately, there's no way to schedule our crawler — it crawls once per week, based on when you set up your Moz Pro Campaign. There's no way to change this crawl schedule. If you were able to set up a Disallow directive in your robots.txt file to exclude your ads, then you could stop Rogerbot from crawling them. That will only work if there's a distinct URL pathway for your adds that will allow you to set up a Disallow directive for our user-agent, Rogerbot. You can read more about robots.txt files and best practices over here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt Hope that helps! If you've got any more questions, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to help you out!

Hello vtmoz, That site's (seo.oldsite.com) backlinks are suitable for the new site?  Rememer that if you've made a full redirection of the subdomain site to the root new domain, there will be tons of links pointing to that root domain.. and if those links dont share the topic nor are from good sources its probably that Google might penalyze you or just ignore them. Monitor closely your rankings and the Search Console account for any manual penalty message. Hope it helps. Best luck. GR.

Thanks!

Alick300 is right the text links have more value than a button link

As you can see Yoast SEO just follow the official information and guides

We got an answer from JohnMu - Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google. The reason of crawling is (as we find out) the filters  which have infinite variations (one of developers was sleeping), we will correct this. Disallowing in Robot.txt is adviced as the quickest fix to stop the mega-crawling. This case will be used for further research because of the disproportionate capacity usage. You're right, Google initially will crawl everything, but they don't want Googlebot crawling looks like a "mini-Ddos-like attack".

William is right your site structure helps Google and your visitor to understand your website better, and therefore it can push your site up in the rankings. Structuring your website is crucial for both usability and findability. A lot of sites lack a decent structure to guide visitors to the product they’re looking for. Apart from that, having a clear site structure leads to better understanding of your site by Google, so it’s very important for your SEO. Relationships between content Google crawls websites by following links, internal and external, using a bot called Google bot. This bot arrives at the homepage of a website, starts to render the page and follows the first link. By following links Google determines the relationship between the various pages, posts and other content. This way Google finds out which pages on your site cover similar subject matter. In the sidebar of this post, for example, you’ll see links to the category ‘Content SEO’ and to the ‘Internal linking’ and ‘Site structure’ tags. We make sure Google understands that the content on those pages is related to the content of this post by adding these links. Setting up an internal linking strategy It’s crucial for your SEO to evaluate and improve internal linking strategy on a regular basis. By adding the right internal links you make sure Google understands the relevance of pages, the relationship between pages and the value of pages. Ideal site structure The structure of your site should be like a pyramid. On the top of the pyramid is your homepage, and underneath the homepage a number of category pages. For larger sites, you should make subcategories or custom taxonomies (more on that later). Within the categories and subcategories, you will have a number of blog posts, pages or product pages. Internal link structure Your linking structure is of great importance. Each page in the top of a pyramid should link to its subpages. And vice versa, all the subpages should link back to the pages on top of the pyramid. There should be essential content (cornerstone articles) at the top of your pyramid, and these should be the articles you link to from all of your blog posts. Because you’re linking from pages that are closely related to each other content-wise, you’re increasing your site’s possibility to rank. Linking this way will help search engines by showing them what’s related. In addition to that, with all subpages linking to that one main page at the very top of your pyramid, you are creating cornerstone pages. This will make it easy for search engines to determine what your main pages per subject are. Taxonomies and tags Your site will also benefit from adding tags. Tags and taxonomies will give your site more structure (or at least Google will understand it better). Don’t create too many tags. If every post or article receives yet another new unique tag, you are not structuring anything. Make sure tags are used more than once or twice. They should group articles together that belong together. Cornerstone content Content pages of essential importance are called cornerstone content. Cornerstone articles are the most important articles on your website. Cornerstone articles should be relatively high in your site structure, focusing on the most ‘head’ and competitive keywords. Think of four specific pages you would like someone to read in order to tell them about your site or company: these would need to be the cornerstone articles. In most cases, the homepage would link to these articles.

Hi William, Many thanks for the quick response. I am already in the process of making quality links which are relevant to the keywords. But your second phrase "and the target pages" is confusing me a bit. Please  share more light on this. Lokking Forward Best Regards

Hi Verónica, Thanks for the answer. I don't think what you suggested is technically difficult to implement. We have thousands of redirects to be done. And anyway all these redirects will not be noticed by Google overnight or backlinks will be increased all of a sudden. The different source links which are generating these backlinks will get indexed at different times varying from days to months. So it'll take 1 day to 3 months to get notified by Google about the increase of these backlinks. But there will be risk if Google can see all the redirects at one shot which I am not sure about. This is my hypothesis. Please let me know if you have different ideas on this. Thanks

How big is your store? By far the easiest way to manage this is to use  Shopify's WordPress plugin for inserting a Shopify store into a WordPress site. Here's a decent rundown of the pros/cons and process. Once in pace, you could use 301-redirects for any URL changes to shop URLs to transfer authority of old shop pages to new ones. Would that method work for you? Paul

thanks Wiliam

Thank you!

Hi Paul, This definitely helps! Thanks for your answers and the link to the blogpost! Kind regards, Jens
