Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi

Just left a massege for you

You simple need to define your URL rules through htaccess file this will resovle your issue.

Amazing efforts by you guys..submitted your questionnaire as well

In addition to Mark, External links are those links are pointing out from your site to other domain, subdomain or page.

Hi There

Agree with Andy.  However if you have many URLs to fo redirect via htaccess you can use this tool just paste your all old urls and define your rule of redirect. it will generate a complete list of new rules and paste that to your htacess file.

Hi I would say to check few things if you're not sure is the site is spam or not. Mostly, the site impression, feel and looks say it as soon as you land on any site. However, there are possiblity you still remain unsure. I personally use the Google Chrome Plugin to see if the hostname are not suspicious or some wired name. I have MOZ bar plugin again to give domain overview, it also provide me DA and PA, which helps me to understand overall where is that domain stand.

Off course, these all primary elements helps to determin the site we are going to post content or aiming to get back link is not going to harm us anyway.

Hi

I think you must address these redirect issue from htacess file,Furtheremore, you can alsoupdate your robot.txt file with your location folder.

Hi

First of all, i would check traffic of those pages and engagement of visitors on those pages. If these pages have reasonable traffic and engagement then i would deal with them in the following way would not remove them though i would prefer to make changes to improve those pages.

If those pages has less traffic and but with anchor links on them, i would focus to improve by adding info-graphic or some other mode of media. Which can have potential to engage with visitors? Removing or using canonical tags would be the least option for me.

Hi

As you rightly mentioned this is due to google penalty. I think, you still need to run a details audit of your backlinks. Most of the time, try to analysi each link on its own. As mostly, one domain gives you good do follow link as well as some sort of toxic links. Off course, you want to keep good one.

Make sure, you explore all of your back links, by using historical data from Majistic link exploerer, Screeming Frog, MOZ link explorer along with Ahref and Google Search Consule.

AT the same time do update all of your site content regardless if its been unqiue or duplicate. In my opinion, this is time consuming and effort taking procdure.

However, we also have seen some great imporvement with other methods such as changing domain. How this can help you, have different domain or different TLD with the same name have same site accessible to new domain and use 301 redirect from old domain to new one. Furthermore, do the same , disaovw the toxic links to your site with old and new domain. Do start your link building excerise get some niche links to balance the loss of back links.

You will see good progress within weeks. We have done this for our many clients.

I hope this will help. If there is any question do leave your comment. Will get back to you.

Hi

I would go for Ahrefs and Majsitc site Explorer along with Google Webmaster.

In my opinion, use of these would give you a snopysis of new and exsiting backlinks for your site. You can also try MOZ site explorer tool. However, this is relatively new and has less data than the other two.

In mu opinion, i don't see any issue by having same title as you're changing the discription for each video that will cover up most. However, ideally, you may want to rephrase the title as well.

It's just your sitemap index file which is showing pending??
if that is the case then, All it needs to do is addup the values of your other sitemaps (which are referenced in the index file) and show the total stats next to it.

Other than that you can submit your site to be index from GWT. See the guidelines here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6259634?hl=en

Agree with Nicolas, There should not be an issue at all. However, it may create a little confusion for your  customer search from Google places.

Hi

In my opinion, paid directories may not be a solution for you at all. However, Frankly, we have used them but they are not as good as they say. I rather suggest you to use MOZ local to have your business on all major directories. The benfit you will get is consitant with your business information. You can access Moz local from your profile area. This will help you to improve your local seo, furthermore, you can use most of directories from their list anyway without paying any one. Most of these sites gives you opportunity to have backlink as well as reviews on your landing page.

I would go for landing page for each preferred keyword. We have run this experiment for few clients and it works really well. I urge you to have landing page for each top keyword and sue various variation of keyword to promote your page.
Note: Make sure your landing page experience should not be different than the main site. As this will play an imperative role init.

Most likely, you've built or removed additional quality/relevant links as you have mentioned, but with the smaller Index these new links, and even previously indexed links, are not being picked up. Therefore, less links are in your report.

Hi

I think the following post will help you get around of this have a read

Well, in my views yes you will get benefit out of this change. I would suggest you to run a backlink audit of your old site and make disallow list of all toxic links. Disallow all those and put a 301 redirect as soon as you can.

Another tip, when you do it, try to change your onsite content. This will add up another plus point for your site.

I checked your site, its look amzing i think you will not only retain but will get good result. Moreover, you second domain has more branded power than the current one along with age of the domain.

So Good luck with your change.

Hi, Frankly there are few things to be consider while you thinking to change your domain. We did the same for one of our client but result for them was perfectly fine.
Our client, domainn was (www.webuycarstoday.com) this site was poorly developed and has very low due to Google penalty we change to (www.webuycarstoday.co.uk) as you can see we did not change brand name but the TLD. After changing its TLD, we secure top page positions for all main keywords and since than its getting good customers attention.

Now, In my opinion if you moved your site permanently by using 301 redirect, it will not have major impact however, if you planning to rebrand yourselves with new business name there might be risk of fall in traffic as a result. I think, you may use the similar kind of site but with different TLD that will work.

Hi Use the following

`# Redirect all "not correct" domain to www with https

# (is not important if comes with or without https):

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.co.uk$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

# Redirect all non-ssl to ssl.

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.co.uk/$1 [R,L]`
