Problem with re-direction
-
Please help me to solve a problem with redirection. I re-do the
site and move it to new domain page-by-page as recommended.I use WordPress Redirect plugin. I did everything as written 10
days ago but don't see redirection.For example, old page http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
New page http://njcruise.org/alaska-cruise-tour/
Where is a problem? How to solve it?

If you have trouble tomorrow, add me on Facebook or skype and I'll try and chat you through it.

Thank you!!! I will try tomorrow.

The entire documentation is here: http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
I haven't used this plugin - only Simple 301s - not Redirection. So I'm not entirely sure if they want the whole URL but it should be simple to test. I would think you would put in the http:// but try it without - maybe that's the issue?
-
Matt, please clarify format for request. It has to be the whole address as http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485 or /aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
Thank you!
-
No worries! Let us know how it goes.
-
Thank you Matt!

Yes, don't use the plugin on NJCruise - just Aurora.
If they don't work, just deactivate (don't remove) the plugin and try the one I linked above (Simple 301s) It's a much easier plugin and it should work easily. If not, you can always delete Simple 301s and reactivate Redirection - so you'd still have all your work.
-
Right now I have on both! This is because I didn't know what to do! So, remove redirection from NJcruise? Thank you!

Hello Nadejda.
I see the plugin is installed on your aurora17 blog, but as you say, it isn't working.
Your old site has several problems, but it appears it does know how to redirect, but the plugin, not the apache server would be doing the redirecting if you set it up correctly.
Are you sure you set the redirects on Aurora and not on NJCruise?
-
You set up the plugin exactly as I said and it didn't work? That's odd. I think it's the way we're writing URLs then.
Deactivate the plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-301-redirects/
Install and try Simple 301s ... try that. If it doesn't work, we'll keep working on the URLs for the first plugin but this should make your life better in like 5 minutes.
-
Thank you Matt! I used redirection plugin on NJcruise.org but noticed that this doesn't work. I switched to aurora17.com - the same issue. I changed the plugin - no result. Your suggestion? Thank you!
-
The problem is on aurora17.com - your Wordpress Redirect plugin is not working for some reason.
You're using this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/ ?
Source URL: http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
Target URL: http://njcruise.org/alaska-cruise-tour/
Type: Simple redirection
Method: 301
Then you just push "Add redirection" - it should be ok? Is the plugin activated on Aurora or NJCruise? You want it on Aurora to "push" the URLs to the new site. More info if you can...

How should we handle re-directory links? Should we remove these links?
We are currently cleaning up bad links that were purchased by a previous SEO agency. We have found links on anonym.to pages that redirect traffic to our site automatically. How should this be handled? Should we remove these links?

Is it a problem to split anchor text with span / div etc or does it decrease the effect?
Hi, Recently I started seeing more and more anchor text with design variations within them. A noticeable example can be seen in the Distilled top menu.
Technical SEO | | BeytzNet
As you can see there is a part which is in small letters and a part with different fonts. Meaning that there is either an internal span / div / font / italic / etc. or some other attribute within the link (splitting the anchor text). Is it a problem?
Keep in mind that it will be used in the top menu on the most important links. Thanks0 -

404 and re directs from an old design to a new one
I have a directory that I am redesigning. Currently, the old directory is all 404 pages. I need to use the URL's in the old directory for the new one. Should I redirect all the old pages to the new pages? Or is it better to delete the old pages, let them de index - so that I can use those same URLs? I really need help with this.

Has anyone seen direct improvement after April 23 by requesting reinclusion?
Using the open site explorer I have figured out that my former seo agency was buying name spam (mostly Asian sites)for my main keywords and did the same in a private network of blogs. I don't speak any eastern languages and seo Super Dude has left the planet. So... I don't really have much to report to the Google Webmaster folks. How much time - effort- cash do invest in removal requests vs, redo the whole darn site and hope for the best? All the best. Tom

Re-direct issues
Forgive me for the novice question. But I was recently looking at open site explorer and was checking out my site www.visualawards.com , I know we have a re-direct to www.visualawards.com/home.php . After checking both URL's, I found that I have links pointing to both. Is this bad, am I diluting the links? If yes, which one should I point the future ones to, and is there anyway to recover the current links already? Thanks again for your help!!!

Basically duplicate sites that act like they're two different businesses. How do they not get dinged?
I bought supplies recently at barcodesinc.com. While searching I noticed it is clearly the same site as barcodediscount.com. How do they not get hurt by duplicate content?
