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

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.

Negative SEO
I have got some idiot bombarding my site with spam links, most likely a negative SEO attempt. It started off very small and has ramped up to between five and 10 spam links per day. I think it may be having a slightly negative affect although difficult to tell. I can do a link cleanup, but I'm not sure that is a long term solution, I'm just going have to do it again in a few weeks time. Does anyone have any experience?

Changing domain and transferring SEO power to new.
hi, i have a website with some pages index in google on first page. i want to change the domain name but also want to keep the old domain.

How can you promote a sub-domain ahead of a domain on the SERPs?
I have a new client that wants to promote their subdomain uk.imagemcs.com and have their main domain imagemcs.com fall off the SERPs. Objective? Get uk.imagemcs.com to rank first for UK 'brand' searches. Do a search for 'imagem creative services' and you should see the issue (it looks like rules have been applied to the robots.txt on the main domain to exclude any bots from crawling - but since they've been indexed previously I need to take action as it doesn't look great!). I think I can do this by applying a permanent redirect from the main domain to the subdomain at domain level and then no-indexing the site - and then resubmit the sitemap. My slight concern is that this no-indexing of the main domain may impact on the visibility of the subdomains (I'm dealing with uk.imagemcs.com, but there is us.imagemcs.com and de.imagemcs.com) and was looking for some assurance that this would not be the case. My understanding is that subdomains are completely distinct from domains and as such this action should have no impact on the subdomains. I asked the question on the Webmasters Forum but haven't really got anywhere

Will my SEO Affect If I Redirect existing user from homepage to dashboard?
Hi Guys, My client (SaaS company) wants to redirect all the visitors to the dashboard if they have already created an account with them. The redirection would be done at the server level using a cookie. Does the redirection (though done only if user is already registered) affect SEO rankings? They want to be double sure. Thanks.

Moving domain.com to subdomain.domain.com
Hi, I like to do something, but first like to take some opinions from seomoz. My question is: 1. I have a domain: brandtrends.com and i like to move this from brandtrends.com to trends.brand.com because: brandtrends.com is on the position #15 on the second page of SERP for my "brand" keyword. I like to move it under trends.brand.com but all inbound-links are @brandtrends.com What do you thing, if i move permanently 301 from brandtrends.com to trends.brand.com does it rank under brand.com on the 1st page of SERP..? like to rank trends.brand.com under brand.com on results page...!!! I have the backlinks of brandtrends.com on my hands too, should i leave the inbound links @brandtrends.com and the new ones i build with trends.brand.com or should i change the inbound links from brandtrends.com to trends.brand.com Hope you got it! THanks

A client will be translating their entire site into French in addition to English. For SEO purposes, should I host it on the same domain or create its own dedicated domain?
The current site is a long-standing site with good authority and a good number of links. Thanks....
