Welcome to the Q&A Forum

From my experience, Google+ page will be automatically linked if you are logged in with the same account where you have webmaster tools verified site. So, just log in with the same user that has access to that domain in webmaster tools and the link should be recognized.

How cool: http://askdjhasd789.allsee-tech.com/

However, if you check: http://jhgjhghj.allsee-tech.com/index.html -> this redirects.

http://jhgjhghj.allsee-tech.com/index.php -> not found but still goes on allsee-tech.com.

I would check htaccess, yes. And if you don't mind, I would really like to know what the problem was.

Thanks,

Cristian

Later edit: You could check the DNS zone as well since you could have wildcards there as well.

Here you go: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1713826?p=link_page_to_website&rd=1

I would suggest the webmaster tools way, but either way is just fine.

Well, it can crawl anything found on a web page. If you are referring to a page whose links are dynamically generated in the sense that you build them before serving the page (php for example), then yes. If Google bot reaches that page in any way (it is not blocked etc) then your links will be crawled as well.

I agree with Erwan. There is of course another option which I think would get you the most results and that would be combining the brand with your keywords. I don't know if that is a possibility, but you could try to figure something out. If the company is focused on makeup let's say, then what if the brand was called "themakeupcompany", "perfect makeup".. you get the idea. Again, I do not know about your possibilities and my examples were written in about 2 seconds so I don't expect them to work, I just used them to make my point.

Hi,

it really does make a difference if you have keywords in the domain name. The problem, however, is not that simple. You have to take into account the users that need the website. How easy is it for them to access the page? You do not want to only stuff keywords in your domain name and let the users satisfaction and ease of access apart. This would not be a good marketing decision.

That being said, my advice would be to try to find out the best way to please the users and Google as well. Per general, I would think about the users more, since Google is trying to update its algorithm in order to please the users.

Hello,

yes, it is possible. Check out rel canonical: http://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization

Regarding Wordpress, here's a good article related to canonicalization: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/wordpress-canonicalization-guide/

Let me know if this helps!

Hello,

I agree with Chris. Try to make the users happy and it will be ok.

One thing I would add though. I don't know how you plan to cloak the URL (in fact, I don't really know what cloaking means exactly in english), but be sure to avoid duplicate content since my guess is that the content is the same.

All the best,

Cristian

Well, I would make the company page be the rel=publisher and the author page to be rel=author and would share in the way that I proposed. In this way, everyone gets some authorship I think.

Does anyone else have some insight on this?

Hello,

first of all, I am no expert here, I am just answering what I would do.

I would post on the company G+ page and then ask the authors to share the post from the company G+ profile. From my perspective, this would (or should) bring more authority to your webpage.

Related to the G+ Local page, I would not post the articles there. I am just thinking about the purpose of a Local page right now. I don't see why someone would like to see articles when they are trying to find a local business. It just does not match the purpose I guess.

Again, this is what seems right in my opinion and this is what I would do.

Hello,

since most of the hosting providers use CPanel, I will just point you to a tutorial on redirects on CPanel.

http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/ReDirects

So what you would do is redirect your domain.us to domain.com.us following the steps provided in the above link. That's it! Since you are trying to shift your entire domain, make sure you will be adding a 301 (permanent) redirect.

Hello Thomas,

sorry for my late answer.

As Alan was saying, the web server intercepts a request before it serves a page. If it finds a rule that redirects that request, there is no need for the files to exist. So you would manage the rules for the request that you want to redirect on the same server where the old domain is located. If you are redirecting to the same domain, then yes, this means the rule will be on the same server that manages that domain. When somebody looks for your page, then the DNS would point to your server's IP. After that, the request is sent to that IP and the web server will try to serve whatever is needed for that request. But if you successfully add a rule for that specific request (let's say "www.mydomain.com/page1") to be sent to another URL (let's say "www.mydomain.com/newpage"), then the server will redirect that request.

Matt Cutts explains what it means if your site has a manual action labeled as "Unnatural links to your site—impacts links" and what you can do to fix it.

The difference is that "Unnatural links to your site" is related to your entire site, whereas the message you received is only related to a part of the site.

Hello Thomas,

I did not code ASP.NET, but from my understanding, a 301 redirect does not need to be connected to the language you write code in. You could perform a 301 redirect from your web server for example (in Apache you could use the htaccess file).

Anyways, I think you should redirect from your asp.net file to php and everything will work ok. You can check the link below for some code examples I have found searching on Google.

Hopefully this helps!
