Thanks for the reply Richard.

I was worried about the redirects. I have that server issue where there are some URL chars in uppercase. So there is a redirect for that. There is also one to remove /articles/ which is what my site started with (a htaccess rule stopped it years ago), but it reappeared after the relaunch.

Something new from the redesign is the addition of the / at the end of URLs. I don't know why that happened. But I was very unhappy with my designer's job, hence why I have hired a new one to help clean it up.

CDN's shouldn't have changed with the move, but I had a suspicion something different had gone on.

Yes, links have been lost. I don't know why. With the conversion from rails to WP, three database syncs occurred, and I ended up with three copies of some articles. So I have been redirecting them as google is listing them all as 404's.

The site was much faster, but something has happened since launch that has slowed it down.

So much mess...

Everett,

Thanks for your reply! WP SEO is the Yoast plug-in, is it not?

Appreciate the list, will take a look.

Thanks Keszi,

The site has already launched, so it's all firefighting mode at the moment, lol!

Hey Chris!

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have WP SEO Premium installed After sleeping on it, I think I just need some professional SEO help here, I am at a loss. There are quite a few issues, I need to sort out a disavow file (amongst other things) and it seems too complicated and time consuming!

I'm after some advice. I've dropped 1 million pageviews in the last 30 days after a website relaunch a few weeks ago, and my revenue is a quarter of what it was, which is a massive worry. After 12 years of hard work and a much anticipated upgrade, it's been a nightmare.

There were so many problems with the changeover that should have been done, but I have been fixing the aftermath up like crazy since then and nothing seems to be improving.

I just want to know if there are any glaring issues I have missed that I can focus on. I have been working on ridiculous stuff like duplicate content from multiple imports (301 redirects and removing the dupes from google) and so much more. Feels like a bomb and I am stuck underneath it.

Website is BellyBelly.com.au.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jen, sorry I am still learning where everything is around here

Have downloaded the report just now - the report is over 10,000 pages so its huge, but I can now see URLs its reporting as dupes. This is very strange, its saying this is a dupe:

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth ==> http://www.bellybelly.com.au/5-sleep-options-for-your-baby-where-will-your-baby-sleep (which is very strange - the second is an article in the baby sleep section, but has no category in the url).

I can see a capitalisation error:

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/Breastfeeding ==> http://www.bellybelly.com.au/breastfeeding and vice versa (should I just 301 this?)

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/f196/ ==> http://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/f193 (and vice versa)

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/directory/tas/doulas ==> http://www.bellybelly.com.au/directory/tas/pregnancy-photography|http://www.bellybelly.com.au/directory/tas/acupuncture-and-chinese-medicine|http://www.bellybelly.com.au/directory/tas/midwives|http://www.bellybelly.com.au/directory/tas/birth-education|http://www.bellybelly.com.au/directory/tas/pre-and-post-natal-massage

(yikes?!)

Here are some for starters!

Hello (and help help help!!!)

I have issues with duplicate content and duplicate meta descriptions which I need help with, and my developer isn't much of a help (in fact I think he may have caused some of the problems because he doesn't understand this properly).

After running Moz through the site yesterday, its picked up lots of duplicate content, for example:

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth

This is a main category of the site so I don't understand where the duplicate is. I have spent a good hour or two (when I am very time poor and have a bub) trying to find out where I can find exactly what its saying are the duplicate pages. I am wondering if its because of a change from www.bellybelly to bellybelly.com.au. Either way, I need to know how to fix this. I have 301 redirects in place, but it is still picking it up.

Another potential problem may have been the switch from /articles/[category name] to /[category name].

E.g. bellybelly.com.au/articles/pregnancy to bellybelly.com.au/pregnancy

The developer promised me he redirected it all, but I dont think he did it properly. I had to make some 301's, including this one which is still coming up in Moz analytics as being a problem:

http://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/cord-clamping-delaying-cord-clamping

So I don't understand that one. I checked via terminal and its definitely there as a 301.

Also, I have very large forum which have duplicate meta tags which I think are mainly from sections I have marked for google to not index, so it takes the meta description from the forum home page.

I think I may need to hire someone to help me out with this, it all seems to be an issue requiring a bit of time and its something I don't have much of.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Keri,

I am newish to Moz and have slowly started learning how to use all of the tools - its going to take some time and feels tricky right now! I am also trying to locate this duplicate content report and am spending a frustrating amount of time trying to find it, clicking and searching everywhere! Can someone please link to it for me? I am very time poor!

I can't see it in the research tools, is not very clear at all.
