Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I think it is important here to note something that is a bit of a misnomer in the industry. Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) are NOT measures of how much a page or domain will benefit you were you to receive a link from it. They are machine-learned keyword-agnostic predictive metrics for rankings. That is to say, a high DA domain or high PA domain are more likely to rank, but they are not necessarily more likely to help your site rank were you to acquire a link from that site. We know that the most important raw metric still continues to be the number of root linking domains. We also know that nearly all published link graph calculations look at metrics like the number of links per page to divide link value passed from one page to another. Subsequently, the actual value you get from a link can be wildly different than the PA or DA might suggest. I would take a different approach altogether. If you spend even a second considering whether to get a link or not because of its PA or DA, you have wasted that second. While using PA, DA, MozTrust or MozRank to sort opportunities might be useful if automated and asynchronous, you should never stop and sweat whether it is worth going after a link. Of course it is. Get that link. Go get it now. Happy link hunting

If the URL can be accessed via one page, there is no way Google will be considered as duplicate content. 301 redirects should certainly help avoid duplicate content profiles. But, when it comes to Google search console, it usually takes time to update things under it. I personally like the idea by CelevePhD, adding rel canonical to your finally page will also help you confirming Google that what is the preferred version and after the crawl Google will deindex the alternate URL from the index. Hope this helps!

Hi Kashif, Following this structure should get it done. RewriteRule ^subdirectory/(.*)$ /anotherdirectory/$1 [R=301,NC,L] For your example it would be like RewriteRule ^FolderA/FolderB/(.*)$ /FolderA/FolderC/FolderB/$1 [R=301,NC,L] For less then 100 redirects it "may" also be prudent to do them individually. I say this because it makes it very obvious what is going on if you ever need to edit it again. I would use Excel or OpenOffice to create a spreadsheet then just concatenate the cells together, following this example; Redirect 301 /path/to-old-url    https://www.mydomain.com/path/to-new-url Ref site: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/redirecting-a-web-folder-directory-to-another-in-htaccess/ Hope this helps, Don

Just had to chime in here. I made changes at least 6 weeks ago, probably more like 12 weeks for some pages, and Google is not updating the HTML improvements page. I will look into trying to manually send some URLs in to see if this changes.

Kashif, This is the common problem in E-Commerce world. I'm sure Christy will give you the best solution for this. I'd suggest is, if the products are low in number, it's better to replace the content with fresh copy or at least provide some user-gernaterd content on the pages to stand out. Hope this helps! Umar

Just to add to Dirk's response, Adam Melson at Seer Interactive wrote an excellent post called "Link Building Guide: When You Have No Links". Check it out. The other thing I'd like to note is, you should plan on spending the same amount of time promoting your posts as you do writing them. And yes, depending on the level of competition you're up against, it can take months or years to gain meaningful traction.
