    Hi guys, we relaunched our website www.segafredo.com.au a few weeks ago, however google is still showing site links from our old page that no longer exist...

    Is there anything we can do about this? Sit back and wait or try demoting the old urls in webmaster tools?

    Looking forward to see your tips!

    Ciao,

    Manny.

      Once you do the 301's, the sitelinks will resolve to your site even if nothing else changes. Most likely, over a small amount of time, the sitelinks will change a bit given the new site.

      Best to you, Manny,

        Hi guys thanks for your help, i've made a list and forwarded it to our Italian friends...let the waiting commence!

        Do you think this will make a change in site links (the once shown under your index results)? And are there any other ways of influencing the links that show up?

        ps. Robert thanks so much for your help, i appreciate you going out of your way to explain 🙂

        I'll keep you posted.

        Ciao,

        Manny.

          GET ALL OF YOUR OLD URL ADDRESS with mentioned methods, via backlinks, and via existing flawed google sitelinks, get as many of them as you can. then 301 them to appropriate new equivalent pages on the new site.

          and do not forget to submit a sitemap after you are set and done with all of above.

            If not every yes, you can find most. Assuming the old site had nothing to do with their .com or .com.eu, etc.:

            Can you get them to give you the access to the FTP? You can get most of the urls if not all from there.

            Or,

            You need to immediately go to archive.org, the wayback machine. You will see it on the page. I have attached a screenshot of one. I went to the homepage first as that is what Archive.org will serve up. I arbitrarily chose May to insure I was prior to relaunch. You should take the one that is most recent prior to relaunch.

            Understand, I would prefer the FTP, but this could work too.

            Hope that helps you out.

            Robert

              Hi Robert, the website was hosted there. We only had/have access to the domain itself of which the name servers have been changed to connect the new site.

              I think getting access to the old site on the Italian host is going to be the hardest part (they don't like us accessing it for some reason)

              Is there a way i can find every url that needs to be redirected so i can send this link to them in order to get the redirections we need?

                Manny,

                Just so you know. It has to be there given the old url is showing. So the site was hosted there and now you are hosting it, correct?

                I have to believe you can get it all. If not LMK, and I will try and assist.

                Best

                  Oh sh*t...

                  Thanks for your response Robert. Unfortunately the old site was hosted and managed by Segafredo Italy. We never had access to it. I think i will pull out my best Italian and call them. Starting from scratch would not be ideal...

                  I'll let you know how we get on.

                  Thanks so much,

                  Ciao. Manny.

                    It appears you did not 301 your urls from the old site to the new when you were in Development. Now, you literally have the same url twice. I followed the sitelink for Coffee by Segafredo and landed on Segafredo.com.au/coffee/ see screenshot with Segafredo from sitelink. Then, in a new window, I went to the domain link you provided and added /coffee/ and got the second image.

                    When you design a new site you need to insure you take care of the url's from the previous so as to maintain the link juice from each. I believe the one with the beans actually has a PA of 36. the new one has a PA of 1. You need this link juice or you will lose all your rankings. EDIT TO ADD EMPHASIS - Do not wait, you need to act now.

                    You are using IIS and you need to follow the how to's for 301's on an IIS server. You can still fix this. Where is the other site hosted? Do you still have it, the FTP files, etc.?

                    Let me know and I will give you some direction.

                    Best, Robert

                      Should I buy an expired domain that has already been redirected to some other website? Can I use it or redirect it to my own site if I purchase it?

                      I was going to purchase an expired domain but then I came to know that it has been redirected to some other website. I have two questions: Can I build a website around this domain if I purchase it? and will the Domain Authority remains the same ? Can I redirect it to my own site? and will all the Link Juice flow to my site?

                      Will editorial links with UTM parameters marked as utm_source=affiliate still pass link juice?

                      Occasionally some of our clients receive editorial mentions and links in which the author adds utm parameters to the outbound links on their blog. The links are always natural, never compensated, and followed.  However, they are sometimes listed as utm_source=affiliate even thought we have no existing affiliate relationship with the author.  My practice has been to ask the author to add a rel="norewrite" attribute to the link to remove any trace of the word affiliate. I have read that utm parameters do not affect link juice transfer, however, given the inaccurate "affiliate" source, I wouldn't want Google to misunderstand and think that we are compensating people for followed editorial links. Should I continue following this practice, or is it fine to leave these links as they are? Thanks!

                      Very odd behavior. Google is changing “%20” to “+” in my URLS

                      I just realized many of the links on my site are BROKEN when entered from a Google SERP. This didn’t used to be this way. I have no idea what’s going but I’m worried. It involves a folder of our site that has a space in it. Google is even displaying the proper “%20” in the SERP but when I click the link it replaces that “%20” with a + which breaks the link!! You can see this in action by typing in “brown jordan sheffield furniture” without quotes into Google. You’ll see our site come up first and displaying this link sheffieldfurniture.com/Other%20Furniture/BrownJordan.html but when you click it the link is broken! This is happening on many of our pages! Anyone know what in the world is going on?

                      How can you change 'Google related searches'?

                      I am having problems for a few clients where google is suggesting negative related searches. I have had success getting Google suggestion (auto-complete) to suggest the keywords we want to be associated with the brand but the 'Searches Related to....' at the bottom of the search page is a big problem. Many of the terms are negative of sometimes defamatory and have absolutely not relevance to the brand.  Even upon clicking on the related searches the pages Google displays are about other businesses. Can anyone suggest how to teach Google these term are irrelevant or any other suggestions as to how to remove them?
