Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Take a look at the image index rate, and see how many are indexed and showing. 20k images is quite a bit, and I would want to see if Google actually indexed them all before I started creating redirects for that many items. If they are indexed, see if there is a way on your new site's sytem to have the images named the same. That way you would only be creating a redirect for the image paths, and not the images themselves. Example: oldsite.com/image/25/coolpicture.jpg newsite.com/images/awesome/25/coolpicture.jpg All that would be needed would be an HTACCESS rule redirecting from one directory to the other, using the image name as a variable. You could probably redirect most of them using only a few rules than 20,000 separate redirects. Is it worth it to redirect? I think that depends on how many are indexed, and if the images bring you a significant amount of traffic.

Thanks for your comments! Agree that ingredient page could be great, with valuable content, but at the moment we just display the name and their role in the product. If I understand correctly google will find hundreds of these pages with pretty much similar content and, at least at the moment, no or few webpages linking to them. This would give this pages a low PR does dragging down the overall PR of the site thus ranking all pages lower. My assumption is that the PR of a site with 40 valuable content pages, with a lot of inbound links, get dragged down if the site has many more less valuable pages with virtually no inbound links. I am considering adding some criteria to ingredient and retailer templates to only make them indexable if they contain more than just the basic fields.

Hi - I can't say I know 'exactly' what's happening here, but there's something strange about how your A records are setup for your DNS.  For the sites I host, I have a single A record for the www. and another for the non-www for the domain, and they both are assigned to the same ip address.  When I view the A records for your sites, they have a variety of different A records set. ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.ecostore.co.nz.            IN      A ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.ecostore.co.nz.     600     IN      A       174.129.212.2 www.ecostore.co.nz.     600     IN      A       75.101.145.87 www.ecostore.co.nz.     600     IN      A       75.101.163.44 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.ecostoreaustralia.com.au.  IN      A ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.ecostoreaustralia.com.au. 3388 IN   A       75.101.145.87 www.ecostoreaustralia.com.au. 3388 IN   A       75.101.163.44 The non-www's seem kind of random as well.  I'd talk with your hosting provider and see if they can help you clear this up.
