Welcome to the Q&A Forum

So if we change the DNS information and point oldsite.com at newsite.com - will those old links in dmoz still work? Since it is a yahoo site, can we even do 301 redirects?

or is that something we would do on our new site?

One of my clients has a newish e-commerce website that was just redesigned. Part of this new marketing push is shutting down an old yahoo store.

The problem is that this old store's domain has a 10 year old link in DMoz and is there fore in about 200 other directories. Is pointing that old domain at the new website going to be enough to keep all of that link juice flowing?

Hello,

Last February one of my clients websites was delisted. It turns out that some time ago that had attempted to launch a social network along time lines of ning. The project had fallen apart of the was still up. At some point spammers found it and started using it as part of a link farm. Once it was discovered, the subdomain it was posted on was removed and the website returned to search within 2 weeks.

Last week, the website disappeared again OSE shows that in the last 2 months the website has got 2000 (There are about 16,000 total spam links) additional spam links now pointing and the root domain. On top of that, Google Webmaster Tools is reporting about 15,000 404 errors.

I have blocked Google from crawling the path where the path were the spam pages used to be. If there a way to block the 1000s of inbound spam links?
