One of my Friend's website Domain Authority is Reducing? What could be the reason?
-
Hello Guys,
One of my friend's website domain authority is decreasing since they have moved their domain from HTTP to https.
There is another problem that his blog is on subfolder with HTTP.
So, can you guys please tell me how to fix this issue and also it's losing some of the rankings like 2-5 positions down.Here is website URL: myfitfuel.in/
here is the blog URL: myfitfuel.in/mffblog/ -

Redirecting all traffic to the www SSL domain
You can force all of your traffic to go to the
www
domain, and to use SSL, even if they did not request it initially.ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all traffic to the bare SSL domain
With dedicated load balancers or who have purchased a slot on the UCC certificate on shared load balancers have the option of redirecting all traffic to the bare domain using the HTTPS protocol:
# Redirecting http://www.domain.com and https://www.domain.com to https://domain.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Redirecting http://domain.com to https://domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]An example of how the requests work
The preceding examples of how and when you would use a rewrite are complex; here's a breakdown of the scenarios, which may help you determine what your website really needs.
A security warning will occur on a bare domain only if the request specifically includes the https protocol, like https://mysite.com, and there's no SSL certificate on the load balancer that covers the bare domain. A request for
http://mysite.com
using the http protocol, however, will not produce a security warning because a secure connection to the bare domain has not been requested.| Domain | DNS record type | IP/Hostname |
| www.mysite.com | CNAME | dc-2459-906772057.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com |
| mysite.com | A | 123.45.67.89 |For AWS ELB,
www.mysite.com
has a CNAME record that points to the hostname of the elastic load balancer (ELB), because that's where the SSL certificate is installed when it's uploaded using the self-service UI. But, bare domains/non-FQDNs like mysite.com can't have CNAME records without something like Route 53, so it must point to the elastic IP address of the balancer pair behind the ELB.If there's a redirect in the
.htaccess
file that will take all requests for the bare domain and redirect them towww
, due to how the DNS records are set up, this is what happens if you requesthttp://example.com
:- The request for
http://mysite.com
hits the load balancers behind the ELB. - The
.htaccess
rule 301 redirects request tohttps://www.mysite.com
. - A new request for
https://www.mysite.com
hits the ELB where the certificate lives and everything is happy, secure, and green.
But, if a specific request is sent to
https://mysite.com
with the https protocol, here's what happens:- A request for
https://mysite.com
hits the load balancers behind the ELB. - Your browser displays the normal security warning.
- You examine the certificate and decide to move ahead.
- The .
htaccess
rule 301 redirects request tohttps://www.mysite.com
. - A new request for
https://www.mysite.com
hits the ELB where the cert lives and everything is happy, secure, and green.
Redirecting all HTTP traffic to HTTPS
In the following example, the server variable
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
is set tohttps
if you're accessing the website using HTTPS, the following code will work with yourRedirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all HTTPS traffic to HTTP
In addition, if visitors to a customer's website are receiving insecure content warnings due to Google indexing documents using the HTTPS protocol, traffic may need to be redirected from HTTPS to HTTP.
The rule is basically the same as the preceding example, but without the first
Rewrite
condition. If no SSL certificate is installed, the value of%{HTTPS}
is always set tooff
, even when you are accessing the website using HTTPS. Use the following rule set in this case:Redirect HTTPS to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting from a bare domain to the www subdomain
SSL certificates can not cover the bare domain for websites unless you are using Route 53 or some other similar provider. This is because the SSL certificates for Acquia Cloud Professional websites are placed on an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). While ELBs require CNAME records for domain name resolution, bare domains require an IP address in an A-record for the domain name (DNS) configuration and cannot have CNAME records. Therefore, it's not possible to terminate traffic to bare domains on the ELB where your SSL certificate is located without Route 53.
Even if all requests for the bare domain are redirected to
www
, visitors to ELB websites that explicitly request the bare domain using the HTTPS protocol, likehttps://mysite.com
, will always receive a security warning in their browser before being redirected tohttps://www.mysite.com
. For a more detailed explanation of why this happens, refer to the An example of how the requests work section.Redirect http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all traffic to the www SSL domain You want this!
You can force all of your traffic to go to the
www
domain, and to use SSL, even if they did not request it initially.ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all traffic to the bare SSL domain
AWS dedicated load balancers or who have purchased a slot on the UCC certificate on our shared load balancers have the option of redirecting all traffic to the bare domain using the HTTPS protocol:
Redirecting http://www.domain.com and https://www.domain.com to https://domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting http://domain.com to https://domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]As an example, if you wanted to ensure that all the domains were redirected to
https://www.
except for Acquia domains acquia-sites.com, you would use something like this:ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !prod.acquia-sites.com [NC] # exclude Acquia domains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]elb 2.2.15 | intermediate profile | OpenSSL 1.0.1e | link

May I ask did your friend modify any of the site structure aside from adding HTTPS?
make sure you have followed all the steps in this list by Google link to your and the list below. There are more resources
if needed. Read what Google's John Mueller has to say on the subject of redirects.

** tools you can use**
- https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/log-file-analyser/
- https://www.deepcrawl.com
- https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/
** a very important checklist make sure you do this one below.**
SEO checklist to preserve your rankings
-
Make sure every element of your website uses HTTPS, including widgets, java script, CSS files, images and your content delivery network.
-
Use 301 redirects to point all HTTP URLs to HTTPS. This is a no-brainer to most SEOs, but you'd be surprised how often a 302 (temporary) redirect finds its way to the homepage by accident
-
Make sure all canonical tags point to the HTTPS version of the URL.
-
Use relative URLs whenever possible.
-
Rewrite hard-coded internal links (as many as is possible) to point to HTTPS. This is superior to pointing to the HTTP version and relying on 301 redirects.
-
Register the HTTPS version in both Google and Bing Webmaster Tools.
-
Use the Fetch and Render function in Webmaster Tools to ensure Google can properly crawl and render your site.
-
Update your sitemaps to reflect the new URLs. Submit the new sitemaps to Webmaster Tools. Leave your old (HTTP) sitemaps in place for 30 days so search engines can crawl and "process" your 301 redirects.
-
Update your robots.txt file. Add your new sitemaps to the file. Make sure your robots.txt doesn't block any important pages.
-
If necessary, update your analytics tracking code. Most modern Google Analytics tracking snippets already handle HTTPS, but older code may need a second look.
-
Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). This response header tells user agents to only access HTTPS pages even when directed to an HTTP page. This eliminates redirects, speeds up response time, and provides extra security.
-
If you have a disavow file, be sure to transfer over any disavowed URLs into a duplicate file in your new Webmaster Tools profile.
-
NGINX
Add the following to your Nginx config.
server { listen 80; server_name domain.com www.domain.com; return 301 https://domain.com$request_uri; }
Apache
Add the following to your
.htaccess
file.RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
-
** Here are some more extremely helpful resources**

https://www.seroundtable.com/google-seo-http-to-https-migration-checklist-19268.html
It is not abnormal for a site to see a dip in rankings or search visibility after migration or a change of structure. I have a very regimented list that I stick to and have not seen anything dip for more than three days, but all sites are unique, and Google indexes all sites differently.
Depending on your domain authority you may or may not have a higher crawl budget based on whether or not you tell Google you are making these changes will make an enormous difference in whether or not your site recovers quickly or sees a dip in traffic.
I hope this is helpful and remember Google has to reindex everything.

It makes no sense that you would have your blog on a subfolder that was non-encrypted why did you choose to do this? I like the site to be 100% encrypted?
Read the second post first please
http://www.myfitfuel.in/mffblog/ should be https://www.myfitfuel.in/mffblog/
why not https?
if your hosting provider does not allow you to use HTTP/2 I suggest adding a WAF four as little as $20 a month you can run your site on HTTP/2
Now the cost of Akamai might scare people just from hearing the name, but I can assure you there are very good pricing options now that companies are competing against them in the same area. One thing in my opinion that no other CDN Waf company has is the amount of points of presence or pops/ Akamai exceeds over 250

https://www.cloudflare.com/http2/
https://www.incapsula.com/cdn-guide/cdn-and-ssl-tls.html
when you switch your entire site over to https, then you can use the Google change of address tool and migrate your site to HTTPS
This should be encrypted you don't need a next or certificate you want to encrypt the entire site ideally. Add it to Google Webmaster Tools four times

After you change the architecture of any website it normally takes a little bit of a dive. John Mu stated Google would not be punishing people to redirect to encrypted sites so while that might be true it doesn't mean Google has figured out what is going on yet.
I think you need to get Google crawling your site and have it in Webmaster tools with all of the pages redirected to https including adding things like HSTS and HTTP/2 to speed up your site.
Hope this helps,
Tom

Google's Knowledge Panel
Hi Moz Community. Has anyone noticed a pattern in the websites that Google pulls in to populate knowledge Panels? For example, for a lot of queries Google keeps pulling data from a specific source over and over again, and the data shown in the Knowledge Panel isn't on the target page. Is it possible that Google simply favors some sites over others and no matter what you do, you'll never make it into the Knowledge box? Thanks.

Hi mozzers and members, I am having issues, why my website: http://profilecosmeticsurgery.com/ crawl by Google? let me share more clearly when this starts happening. A month or around 45 days back our website is being indexed and crawled quite well without any issues with having .html extension pages with static built website.

We finally thought to change to .php version and make whole website and its pages to be treated dynamically.
Once we changed all changes, thereafter this issues started. It has been more than 45 days, our website isn't being crawled since then. I didn't know what are the things preventing this to? Please help. Thanks in Advance Capture1.PNG0 -
Website can't break into Google Top100 for main keywords, considering 301 Redirect to a new domain
A little background on our case. Our website, ex: http://ourwebsite.com was officially live in December 2015 but it wasn't On-Site optimized and we haven't done any Off-site SEO to it. In April we decided to do a small redesign and we did it an online development server. Unfortunately, the developers didn't disallow crawlers and the website got indexed while we were developing it on the development server. The development version that got indexed in Google was http://dev.web.com/ourwebsite We learned that it got indexed when we migrated the new redesigned website to the initial domain. When we did the migration we decided to add www and now it looks like: http://www.ourwebsite.com Meanwhile, we deleted the development version from the development server and submitted "Remove outdated content" from the development server's Search Console. This was back in early May. It took about 15-20 days for the development version to get de-indexed and around 30 days for the original website (http://www.ourwebsite.com) to get indexed. Since then we have started our SEO campaign with Press Releases, Outreach to bloggers for Guest and Sponsored Posts etc. The website currently has 55 Backlinks from 44 Referring domains (ahrefs: UR25, DR37) moz DA:6 PA:1 with various anchor text. We are tracking our main keywords and our brand keyword in the SERPs and for our brand keyword we are position #10 in Google, but for the rest of the main (money) keywords we are not in the Top 100 results in Google. It is very frustrating to see no movement in the rankings for the past couple of months and our bosses are demanding rankings and traffic. We are currently exploring the option of using another similar domain of ours and doing a complete 301 Redirect from the original http://www.ourwebsite.com to http://www.ournewebsite.com Does this sound like a good option to you? If we do the 301 Redirect, will the link-juice be passed from the backlinks that we already have from the referring domains to the new domain? Or because the site seems "stuck," would it not pass any power to the new domain? Also, please share any other suggestions that we might use to at least break into the Top 100 results in Google? Thanks.

Someone asked me: What's the latest in SEO?
Hi, I'm wondering how others would respond to this question. "What's the latest in SEO?" Someone random asked me this on a plane that does not know much about digital marketing, but has someone else do for their business. I told them the google algortithm is constantly changing and it's always new, that there are about 500 changes a year (thought that was close to right) and then got down to some basic principals. I'm asking how you might answer as I could see someone asking me this within my organization as well. Thanks for any tips on a great answer or resources. Laura

- Truth ? ''link building isn't considered a suitable way of promotion as per recent search engine updates''
I need SEO. A SEO consultant said: ''link building isn't considered a suitable way of promotion as per recent search engine updates'' they mention: ''Therefore we would be undertaking a range of promotional exercises such as blog postings, social book marking, press release, etc that are more effective for ensuring best possible rankings for the website.'' Do you agree? Thank you

What's the best theme for seo if you are going to use yoast anyway
I am going to edit my theme myself so I don't need something like thesis for that. But people say that the thesis framework is amazing for seo, and it's hard to edit it manually. Does using the thesis theme do anything for you if you are going to use yoast anyway? Thanks William
