Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Nakul - Re: "other then seeing those links in GWT, are there any other red flags that you are seeing in terms of not ranking, any penalty messages, unnatural links warning on the new?" No - no red flags.  My "new" site has only been live for about a week and is already reached page 2 or 3 of google serp for my main keywords. But since I know those backlinks cause my old site to go from #2-3 of page 1 to past page 20, I freaked when I saw them following me. or was there any messages on the old domain when you got penalized ? No - I crashed on April 24 and never recovered, even though I removed all the pages that had been syndicated and asked Google for reconsideration, they said there was no manual penalty.

Hello William, Thanks for reaching out!  I am sorry that OSE have not returned the desired results that you were looking for.  while I am not sure what exactly the cause of why it wasn't able to crawl more of your domains linking back to your site, I would love to take a look at what is going on to see if that is an issue on my end.  I will now start a ticket with your email since this query has account information associated with this, it would also be more efficient for me to communicate with you there I hope I can resolve your question soon!

A bit disappointing....I am seeing a deeper more comprehensive link profile using Small SEO Tools backlink checker

Hi William, The difference between SERP positions on Google and Bing can be huge, and that can be frustrating, particularly because it's usually much harder for a small company to rank on Google than on Bing. I came across a good article recently that describes some of the differences between Bing and Google's ranking algorithms: http://www.highervisibility.com/blog/how-seo-differs-on-bing-compared-to-google/. Maybe this can help you to identify some of the reasons for the difference in rankings. Good luck.

I agree with Irving - you probably want to let Google reindex all of those 301 links, so you might not have a problem at all in a couple of weeks. It's also possible that "low glycemic foods" is easier to rank for than "low glycemic diet." If you search for "low glycemic foods" in Google, most of the top 10 search results don't actually have that phrase in their page titles or URLs. Since you did, you would have ranked well in comparison. If you search for "low glycemic diet," you can see that the first 6 results (in my personalized view) have the exact phrase "low glycemic diet" in their page title. That's going to make it harder for you to compete with them. I checked on the search traffic for "low glycemic foods" vs. "low glycemic diet" and found that "low glycemic foods" gets more searches per month than "low glycemic diet." I know that you feel that "low glycemic diet" is more appropriate for your site, but if it's easier to rank for "low glycemic foods" and there are more people searching for "low glycemic foods," I would stick with your original URL.

Hi, I don't think so that Google consider that links as a same links because if you have get back-links by versatile keywords then it consider it as a different but if Google gets links from same domain for same anchor text then it might be possible that Google count that links same.
