ahh...thank you for your time

I track the website in MOZ tools - that is where the list came from - it is a screen shot.

Perhaps a MOZ staff member can shed some light on the issue?

I could not replicate it either.

Confused ?!?

Hi Bob

Thank you! Can I ask another question?

I have since found that the url https://www.ryanyoungdesign.com.au has been indexed by the Moz bot and has a Moz score of 30. The url https://ryanyoungdesign.com.au has also been indexed and has a score of 28.  The page http://ryanyoungdesign.com.au also has a score of 30. Please refer to attachment

We recently moved the website from one server provider to another - the latest server provider never set up a https for the website. Given the https has its own MOZ ranking does this mean the original server provider set up a https version?

FYI - this was the reply of our new current server host when I pointed out the redirect

'Yes, this is a known issues with Nginx. We are looking at a resolution.There should be no backlinks linking to the SSL version of the site - this would cause an error anyway'

they also stated that ...You don't want to be ranking the https. Not sure why it would be ranked - I would disallow it in your robots.txt if it's an issue.'

if you go to

ryanyoungdesign.com.au

you will see it is different from

https://www.ryanyoungdesign.com.au

If i visit mywebsite.com.au, www.mywebsite.com.au and http://www.mywebsite.com.au - i get one website

BUT if I visit https://www.mywebsite.com.au  I get a different website - I also get a untrusted website warning

The logo in the bottom right of the https: website is the name of the webdesigner  where the website is hosted.

Is this a normal practice?

Hi

gardenbeet.com had the same problem about 4 years ago - do not be alarmed. It just means that the internal page has (probably) higher value links than the home page .

At the time I was advised to look at my site architecture to ensure the link juice gets distributed around the website (at least as evenly as the home page would redirect the juice)  (not sure if that point is still relevant).

Thanks Robert. Yep all those accounts are in place. I understand that I can monitor the impacts of the change. But I would like to get an understanding of whether its worth making the change in the first place.

Anyone else redirected an established website (5 years plus with PR 3 +) to another country.

thanks for quick response - the URL will NOT change

the existing site is a .com

Currently I redirect the .co.uk and the .com.au to the .com

The website is targetted to UK via Google's Country Targeting setting

Am rather surprised to hear you have seen no changes! How old were these sites? Did they have much page rank?

Has anyone relocated a website from one country to another?

I want to replace all reference from one country (UK) to another (Australia)

Phone number change, currency change, address will change

Meta/products/content/urls will remain the same

The .com URL will be associated to Australia

Will the website keep its ranking or will it be damaged to the point where another website should be built from scratch?

I have not had too much experience with helping websites that have been hit by Panda - any tried and tested formulas I can pass to website owner would be great. He does not want to reveal domain name - its in the area of children/baby products

'Web site featured on page 1 of Google search results for many years (website 5 years old-  Australian domain) .

In April/May 2014, Google suspended our Google Shopping account because we used watermarks on all our images. We were advised that the suspension would remain in place indefinitely or until such time the watermarks were removed. We wrote back to Google to explain that these watermarks were put in place by our store back 2005 with the sole purpose of protecting our intellectual property. Needless to say, their attitude was unwavering. And as a result, revenue plummeted.

However, the perfect storm was about to hit our store without warning. In the same month, Panda 4.0 was unleashed and our store was hit once again. This update alone reduced visitor numbers by around 50% overnight.

The Panda 4.0 algorithm update was designed to target poor quality, duplicate content and unfortunately we had some of it.

We have now begun creating original content with many of the new products we're uploading onto our web site. It's slow and tedious. We have modified our web site to now include a

tag on a the home page (this was missing). We have removed many duplicate links from our footer (it was too big and contained hundreds of links that were also repeated from the header). We introduced a blog  and we have engaged the services of a local seo company to disavow any bad backlinks and add missing or improve existing content to category and brand pages.

No improvement in our situation is yet visible and with Christmas just 3 months away, poor sales during our 'bread and butter' period will mean even tougher times for our store in 2015.

ANY PANDA EXPERTS who can help please email me felicity@gardenbeet.com - looking for independent freelancers rather than agencies

with hindsight I should have redesigned the blog pages to convert. The potential spend of the lost traffic was not harnessed

Is there anyway of getting Google to slap eBay with a loss of page rank ? eBay.au has number one position for vertical garden in google.com.au. (search 9000). Fair enough I suppose because they are delivering a huge range of vertical garden products BUT the sellers are using images for their products that are not showing their products. Most of the sellers are flogging China copies - and I mean these are really bad copies.

But what angers me even more is some of their top sellers are using MY IMAGES. They have taken my images used on a UK website and have reused them in AUstralia. Sellers have even rebranded my images. GRRRRR

Is there some international sin bin where I can name and shame? Does Google care about such matters?

Hi everyone thanks for your feedback.

I will get those links no followed.

There are no manual penalties

I have no paid adverts linking to my site

I believe the drop in traffic is due to my reduction in online activity after June 2012 rather than a Google penalty. Would the graph that i have attached look more dramatic if there was a penalty applied?

My website (http://www.gardenbeet.com)  has 4012 links from http://cocomale.com/blog/ to my home page -a banner advert links from the blog -

I also have 3,776 from another website to 6 pages of my website

1,832 from pinterest to 183 pages

etc etc

overall there are 627 domains linking to my website

I have been advised by a SEO company that I was penalised in about may to july 2012 due to a large number of links coming from one domain or two domains

is that true? should I ask the blog owner to remove my link?

Hi guys - thanks for your response - yes good point I did not define outcome

Increase profits as much as possible with $500 per month.

The customer is in the homeware industry. Sheets, bedlinen etc - med to highly competitive search terms. Customer ranks OK for some search terms.

Really I am asking what has more sales impact in the homeware industry - SEO or Social Media?

From my observations I would suggest social media is the best for fashion  but I do not have enough exposure to homewares to be make the same call.

would a spend of 500 be better on offsite SEO or social media campaigns via facebook twitter pinterest

Yes target Orlando.  At the very least you will pick up some long tail search. I would target Orlando on the home page.

I would also set up pages for every single town/village/region that surrounds you. Google reporting is not 100% accurate - it is likely there are searches for obscure towns despite google reporting none. You may only be optimising a page for one or two searchs per 6 months but if you convert that customer surely it would be worth the investment (given legal fees are typically high)?

Hi there - you may like to advise your client to spend more money on a facebook campaign than SEO given the difficulty of the search terms - I have worked in eveningwear and it is amazing how women share fashion images - you may need to spend a bit to boost your posts in the beginning but then it becomes rather viral

I prepared an article for another related website and posted it on my website -

http://www.gardenbeet.com/garden_design_blog/garden-ideas/save-money-and-create-diversity-seeds-and-small-plants-are-better/

I was paid to write an article and provided a link to the related website at the end of the article - I declared the payment

a good 10 months later the page where the article sits has become the 2nd most linked to page on my website -  SEOmoz is giving it a Page Authority of 48 and all the links are coming from a wide variety of forums using one anchor text link phrase

in the latest google update my homepage PR dropped by 1 - I am assuming the penalty came because of this article

is it worth changing the URL to remove these spammy links to my website?

what is your service? do you want someone in your niche?

ah thanks 77% similar !!
