Www to nonwww - domain authority drop build it back up plan
-
hi there,
I recently changed my website over from a www. (or nothing selected so i assume www.). to a non-www.
eg webmasters and my website are all on the same page. I contacted as many websites as i could that have my link in there website to update it to the http://websitedotcom
the cblocks dropped by 50% (from 12 to 6).
domain authority dropped from 21 to 19.is there a way to see which c-blocks I lost? finnmoto.com.au
thanks
matt

Hi George,
wow, I never thought id see a break down of info so detailed for the website. It makes things alot easier. Screamingfrog is amazing.
confirmed it showing www.finnmoto.com.au as status code 301. most pages are 200 (ok)
can clearly see I need to work on metadescription, H1 and H2, eventually clean up metakeywords.ill need to learn more about directives; canonical, canonicalised, etc... everything else looks pretty good I guess.
Your not wrong about the dust settling; submited 115 urls 26th oct.
google has only index 46 urls 30th oct. (in webmasters the www. is showing 101 indexed of 115).should I be turning off the www. in google webmasters now, or just leave it and wait.

Hi Finnmoto,
You're in luck - it does use a 301 for that homepage redirect. The results of this test were brought to you by the mighty Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler).
I've migrated pages like this before and it can take a bit of time for the dust to settle. Remember you've migrated an entire website to a new subdomain in one go and that takes time for Google and other services to process (depending on how authoritative your site is).
It's worth crawling your entire site's old URL structure with ScreamingFrog to check the redirects were implemented correctly.
Regards,
George

thank you for the response Samuelscott
I use bigcommerce and selected - "Redirect WWW to no WWW" in the settings SEO section.
Testing www.finnmoto.com.au it goes to finnmoto.com.au I would assume its a 301 redirect. Im not sure how to see if its a 301 or 302

Did you 301 (permanent) redirect every single page from the www domain to the non-www domain? If not, this is something that you should do immediately. (Note: Be sure that you do not use 302 (temporary) redirects!)

Blog post back link
Hi, I am new to SEO and I am planning to hire someone in Fiverr regularly to submit different guest posts on the different related topic on the website with a good domain authority (>60) as a result to have some quality inbound links. As I am writing the guest post myself, May I know how many backlinks should I have per post are best for SEO? and should I only focus on anchor text backlinks? Also, here is my understanding of what I should be careful when hiring someone on Fiverr to do a blog post, please let me know if I am wrong and if there is another thing I need to be careful. It needs to be dofollow link It is permanent I check the website domain authority and spam sore that the person provides before using it. Please let me know if I missed out something. Appreciated Kind regards Chris

If a bad link domain drops from my site do I regain authority.
Hi Guys, I wanted to know for example if 2 years ago I purchased SEO from some guys that were building links to sites that had very high PR which was important way back when. And now those links are negatively affecting my SEO stopping me reaching position 1 for a term 'replacement keys' and we are stuck in position 2. If the sites were to be reset or domains sold for those sites that were linking in do you think this was remove the penalty on us as a knock-on effect. Thanks James

Should you always link back?
I am asking this for two reasons: Courtesy: Is it common courtesy to reciprocate with a link back if somebody has linked to your site? SEO: Does linking back affect your rankings at all? A blog has linked to one of my clients' sites as part of a round-up of "top 100 best" within their industry. They have also sent us an email suggesting that we add a link from our site saying that we've been listed. Of course, I understand that it is in my clients' interest for us to advertise on their site that they've been listed in a Top 100 list... However, it got me thinking (as more of a general question) - does reciprocating a link ever affect it's value at all? ie. Is two-way linking ever considered part of a link exchange in the eyes of Google, and does it penalize you at all for that?
