Domain redirect seo
-
Hello,
my domain www.pacomarca.com and when i start the new campaing i get this pronblem:
We have detected that the domain www.pacomarca.com and the domain pacomarca.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.
my domain is in networksolutions.com.
how can i resolve it?
many thanks
Gonzalo

Hi Gonzalo, I had just analyze your website both www & non www. I had come up with following perspectives that are shown below:
URL: http://www.pacomarca.com/
PR: 4
Alexa Rank:18752550
Backlinks: 32
&
PR: 4
Alexa Rank:18767880
Backlinks:114
From the above analysis it is clear that the non www has more number of backlinks, so it is better to redirect www to non www.
Redirecting www to non-www
If you want to do the opposite, the code is very similar:
`RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^my-domain\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]`
In this case we are explicitly typing the domain name. I'm sure it's possible to do it in a generic way, but I haven't had the time to work one out and test it. So remember to change 'my-domain' with your domain name!
If you want to know how to redirect the inner page then please check the link:
How do I redirect all visitors to the 'www' version of my Web site (or vice versa)?
I hope that your query had been solved.

Hi,
I'm not to sure on the networksolutions.com domain control panel, so I'm not to sure if this can easily be done by simply saying "point this to this", but it can definitely be done in an .htaccess file like so:
Redirect non-www to www.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pacomarca.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pacomarca.com/$1 [L,R=301]Redirect www to non-www
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.pacomarca.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://pacomarca.com/$1 [L,R=301]Either one will work, just depends on which "version" (www or non-www) of the site you would want to use. Also, make sure that which ever one you go with you stick with. So if your site is with the www, make sure that any links you have internally also point to the url with www..
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more information.

301 Old Domain Name with relevant domain name
We have a number of historical domain names that we are thinking of 301 redirecting to industry relevant domains.
Technical SEO | | barry.oneil
Currently the domains we wish to redirect are not active and have been down since march 2018.
As far as we know there is no bad reputation on these domains, but we think there are still links out there in the wild on possibly relevant blog posts. Would there be any negative affect on the target domain? Thanks0 -

Will Links to one Sub-Domain on a Site hurt a different Sub-Domain on the same site by affecting the Quality of the Root Domain?
Hi, I work for a SaaS company which uses two different subdomains on our site. A public for our main site (which we want to rank in SERPs for), and a secure subdomain, which is the portal for our customers to access our services (which we don't want to rank for) . Recently I realized that by using our product, our customers are creating large amounts of low quality links to our secure subdomain and I'm concerned that this might affect our public subdomain by bringing down the overall Authority of our root domain. Is this a legitimate concern? Has anyone ever worked through a similar situation? any help is appreciated!

302 to 301 redirect
Our site has quite a few 302 redirects that really ought to be 301's. Our IT department is really busy so the question is, given that the 302's have probably been in place for years, is it worth changing them to 301's now? Thanks

Domain Forwarding and SEO
I have looked around and only saw older and contradicting responses to this question but what effect does having a domain with VALUABLE-KEYWORD.com forward to MAINSITE.com or COMMON-MISSPELLING.com forward to MAINSITE.com in terms of SEO and is it considered spammy or looked down upon
