Sorry trust flow and citation flow metrics from Majestic and domain authority and page authority from MOZ

Hi i am looking at buying an existing domain. It is currently vacant and the site is just on a godaddy holdpage.

if i buy this domain, will its DA and PA TF CF still remain if we don't lose the links?

thanks

Hi

• We have like most set up a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.
• We also changed our website and set up redirects from .ASP pages to PHP pages
• We are now seeing 2 redirects in place for the whole of the website.
  http.www.domain.com > https.www.domain.com (1) >> oldwebpage.asp >> new webpage.php (2)

The question is: Is there anyway of making the redirect 1 and not 2?

thanks

Hi thanks for responding. its a new website, with new content except the hotel directory only

can we safely include iframe content if we properly source the source url. eg we have a travel company we are looking to produce another website, but use the same hotel descriptions in the hotel directory. can we do this?

we are looking at migrating to a new domain name, but worried about current rankings.. can we do this and keep our rankings if we 301? if we can expect a dip, how long will that generally take?

thanks

thanks

looking to launch a new site, how mnay links can we affectively create per month? is 80 links per month ok?

Hi Eric

thanks for responding.. details are as below:

in 2010 our website was ranking number 1 for many keywords. we suddenly saw a crash in this a few years ago. we have since identified we have been hit by many shades of Panda and penguin updates. Mainly due to low quality back-links and poor content (some duplicates).

• since then we have done a major overhaul of our backlink profile. We have saved rankings that went from number 1 for many keywords to number 60 -70. We are now placed at around 11 to 18 rankings.
• We have also looked at our duplicate content issues, and removed all duplicate content, introduced a blog for fresh bi daily updates in an attempt to gain traffic. We also amalgamated many small low quality pages to larger higher quality content pages.
• we are now mobile friendly with a dynamic site, and our site speed is good (around 80).
• we have switched to https, and also upgraded our website for better conversions.
• we have looked at the technical issues of the site and don't have many major issues, although we do have 404's coming up in the google webmaster tools for old pages we removed due to duplicate content.
• we are link building at a pace of around 40 mentions a month. some are no follow, some do follow and some no links. We are diversifying links to include branding in addition to target keywords.
• We have pretty much exhausted every avenue we can think of now, but we cannot jump over to page 1 for any significant keywords we are targeting. Our competitor websites are not that powerful, and metrics are similar to ours if not lower.

1. please can you advise anything else you can think of that we should look at.

we have done everything under the sun using the holy grail of google guidelines to get our site back onto page 1 for our domain. we have recovered (penguin and panda) algorithm filters for keywords that were page 1 going to page 7 and now page 2.

its been 2 years and we cant hit page 1 again.

this is our final phase we cna think of.. do you thin kit will work if we move to a new domain. and how much traffic/rankings can we expect to lose in the short-term?

This has been a long struggle which has caused a massive traffic drop. Do you think we should switch to a new domain with 301 redirects?

1. please can you advise anything else you can think of that we should look at.

2. we are even considering going to a new domain and 301'ing all pages to this domain in an attempt to shake off the algorithm filter (penalties). has anyone done this? how long can we expect to get at least the same ranking for the new domain if 301 all urls to it? do you think its worth it? we know the risk of doing this, and so wanted to seek some advice.

3.  we have on the other hand considered the fact that we have disavowed so many links (70%) that this could be a cause of the page two problem, however we are link building according to moz metric standards and majestic standards with no benefit.. do you think we should increase link building?

Advice is appreciated!

Hi

We are currently in the process of making changes to our travel site where by if someone does a search this information can be stored and also if the user needs to can take the URL and paste into their browser at find that search again.

The url will be dynamic for every search, so in order to stop duplicate content I wanted ask what would be the best approach to create the URLS. ** An example of the URL is: **

package-search/holidays/hotelFilters/?depart=LGW&arrival=BJV&sdate=20150812&edate=20150819&adult=2&child=0&infant=0&fsearch=first&directf=false&nights=7&tsdate=&rooms=1&r1a=2&r1c=0&r1i=0&&dest=3&desid=1&rating=&htype=all&btype=all&filter=no&page=1

I wanted to know if people have previous experience in something like this and what would be the best option for SEO.

• Will we need to create the URL with a # ( As i read this stops google crawling after the #)
• Block the folder IN ROBOTS

is there any other areas I should be aware of in order stop any duplicate content and 404 pages once the URL/HOLIDAY SEARCH is no longer valid.

thanks

Hi

i have checked passed Q&As and couldn't find anything on this so thought I would ask.
I have recently noticed my URLS adding the following to the end: mydomain.com/?fullweb=1

I cant seem to locate where these URLS are coming from and how this is being created?

This is causing duplicate content on google. I wanted to know ig anyone has had any previous experience with something like this?

If anyone has any information on this it would be a great help.

thanks

Hi

I have recently noticed my site works with / and the end of a URL and without. I wanted to know if there is any SEO impact on this? Will it be seen as 2 different pages? if so what is the best option to go for www.mydomain.com/page/ or www.mydomain.com/page

Thanks

We have recently overhauled our website and that has meant new urls as we moved from asp to php. we also moved from http to https.

The website (https://) has 694 urls submitted through site map with 679 indexed in sitemap of google search console.

As we look through the google search console analytics we notice that google index section / index status it says:

https://www.xyz.com version  - index status 2
www.xyz.com version            - index status 37 
xyz.com version                    - index status 8

how can we get more pages to be indexed or found by google sooner rather than later as we have lost major traffic.

thanks for your help in advance

our blog is currently setup as blog.example.com

is this OK for seo benefits for the main domain example.com?

is there any benefit specifically for the domain level by having the blog set-up as example.com/blog?

would it be worth the effort to do this on a large blog?

thanks
