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.

Redirecting a questionable domain to a trusted domain
I have a question!
Technical SEO | | FDFPres
We have 2 domains operating within the same retail sector. One of them is for our bricks and mortar business and the other is a new brand we launched as a nationwide e-retailer. We aggressively built links for the new one and achieved some very good search positioning, where we remained for about 4 months until the google updates of the first half of this year started biting. The domain never received a warning from google or anything, but the links have clearly been devalued to a point where the domain is now virtually buried for the most competitive terms. However, the domain does still get around 100-200 visitors per day, and has a DA of 38. We're thinking about a reshuffle that would involve putting the products in to our brick and mortar business website, and redirecting the brand domain to the bricks and mortar domain. Thank you for reading this far! the question is then, is there a danger of the bricks and mortar domain being tarnished by this? as i said the brand domain hasn't had any notices of penalty from google but it has definitely been hit by updates.0 -
We just recently moved site domains, and I tried to set up a new campaign for the new root domain, but it threw an error?
It threw an error saying we cannot access the SERPs of this site? Any reason why? It is an https:// site instead of the http://, but even our older domain had an https://

If a permanent redirect is supposed to transfer SEO from the old page to the new page, why has my domain authority been impacted?
For example, we redirected our old domain to a new one (leaving no duplicate content on the old domain) and saw a 40% decrease in domain authority. Isn't a permanent redirect supposed to transfer link authority to the place it is redirecting to? Did I do something wrong?

301 for old domain to new domain - Joomla plugin or cpanel?
A client changed domains and both are being indexed. There are thousands of content pages. I can install a 301 redirect Joomla plugin and configure it so that each page redirects to the new domain. I have a feeling I will need to manual set every page. OR I can create a domain level redirect setting in cpanel using wildcards. I think this will automatically pass every old URL to the new URL. Which is the better approach? The cpanel option sounds like less work.

Different domains
Firstly apologies for the very brief question as I am mainly looking for your thoughts as opposed to specific help about a specific problem. I am working on a site which has two sepreate domains and within one domain, two sub domains. The two different sites both havea high page rank, PR6 each, one is the corporate site and the other is the company blog. There are also two sub domains within the corporate site, again both domains have high pr and tons of content. My question is would it be better to consolidate all the assets under one domain or is it better to keep the sites sepreate, from an seo perspective that is.

Redirect or not to redirect
We are rebuilding a website and try to get rid of errors. The content remains exactly the same but we correct the code and make it load faster. The site has quite many backlinks and I can't decide whether to remove .html endings from the urls and 301 redirect to the new ones or leave them with the older ending. If I remove the endings how much of the link juice will be passed? Anyone any idea?
