Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In addition, I crawled the backlinks from other websites as well, the ones that appear on the search console, but couldn't find the links to the abc.biz website. I searched the url of abc.biz in every source page.

really strange

Thanks for your reply.

1. Can this huge increase in backlinks effect rankings? cause the sites had a drop in traffic after the SSL shift.

2. I know that there are some factors that are effected from the shift to SSL that can effect rankings for a while but once Google crawls all new URLS it's suppose to be back to previous rankings. right?

3. In one of the https sites (lets say https://www.abc.biz), most of the backlinks that I see in the search console are linked from a site that was 301 redirected in January to the abc.biz site. The weird thing is that these backlinks didn't exist in the 301 redirected site but do exist on abc.biz). how can it be?

Hi

My client has 2 websites that after moving them to SSL the number of links to your site in the search console increased in 10s of thousands. What can be the reasons?

Hi,

6 months ago my customer purchased their US supplier and moved the supplier's website to their e-commerce platform. When moving to the new platform they copied the descriptions of the products from their site to the supplier's site so now both sites have the same content in the product pages. Since then they have experienced decrease in traffic in about 80%.

They didn't implement canonical tag or hreflang.

My customer's domain format is https://www.xxx.biz and the supplier's domain is https://www.zzz.com

The last one is targeting the US and when someone from outside of the US wants to purchase a product they get a message that they need to move to the first website, the www.xxx.biz.

Both sites are in English.

The old site version of www.zzz.com, before the shit to the new platform, contained different product descriptions, and BTW, the old website version is still live and indexed under a subdomain of www.zzz.com.

My question is what's the best thing to do in this case so that the rankings will be back to higher positions and they'll get back their traffic.

Thanks!
