Redirect not picking up any link juice
-
Hi,
We recently had a domain name change, as we had an established site we had all pages redirected to the new domain.
This was over a month ago but despite the redirect SEOmoz doesn't recognise any links to and from the site.
Is this due to simply time duration and SEOmoz can't pick up on any redirected info, or could there be a problem with the redirect?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,
It is likely that it's just a time issue. OSE updates about once a month, and the last update was February 29th. The crawl was completed before that date, and may have been completed before all of your redirections. The next update should be released on April 10th, and that should have much better results for you.

The OSE will pick the redirect, but when checking your new domain using OSE do not expect to see links that are pointing to your old domain. This doesn't mean your old redirected domain isn't passing any links juice. OSE will show your old domain as a 301 redirect to your new domain.

I am fairly new to the SEOmoz tools, myself (but I like them a lot) did you trying running it with and without www.? Sorry - just trouble shooting. I have noticed with some domains that if you run through Open Site Explorer without the www it returns 0 links but when you add the www it finds the links.
-
Yeah, Google picks it up but the domain doesn't return anything on here.
I will have to find out about the 301s, but is there anything else that could be causing this?
-
Interesting, does Google pick them up? (using a links: search or checking webmaster tools). I hate to ask but they are 301s, correct?

301 Redirects Showing As 307 Redirects
Hi, Our clients are adamant that they have set up 301 permanent redirects on their websites, but when we check using Screaming Frog and various online HTTP status code checkers they are showing as 307 temporary redirects. Examples;

http://www.terrylifts.co.uk/ Again, the client says they are seeing 301 redirects. Why are we seeing 307's? Who is right? Very puzzling, any theories would be very much appreciated 🙂 Thanks in advance. Lee.0 -
URL Redirect
Hi All, So we have employees who can own their own domains for business, however, one employee has a domain that links back to our main site, but when it does, the URL and Page title of our main site, still say his own domain. IE: www.johndoe.com links to www.mysite.com except the url and itle still say www.johndoe.com What are the implications of this? Thank you

Magento Redirect Loop
On my clients site I changed the URL structure for products. First they had a trailing slash: http://www.wellamy.com/market/food/oklahoma-relief-effort/healthy-snacks/caramel-apple-chewy-snack-bars/ I changed it to end in .html http://www.wellamy.com/market/food/oklahoma-relief-effort/healthy-snacks/caramel-apple-chewy-snack-bars.html Now rather than redirecting properly, it causes a redirect loop. Any idea how I can fix this?

Dofollow and Nofollow links
What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow links? I know that some sites/blogs only let you post nofollow links. In such a case how do I know if a comment I posted on a certain site will be a nofollow or dofollow? How about big traffic sites such as Huff Post. Do they only allow nofollow links?

If I switch my domain name, will I keep link juice from redirect?
I am moving one of my sites wellington-florida-homes.com to a new domain (wellingtonfloridahomes.com). Most of our link-juice is coming from another domain we purchased (theshockleyteam.com) that is redirected to our primary site. If I simply redirect theshockleyteam.com to our new domain (wellingtonfloridahomes.com) I will still have the link juice passing through, right? Thanks!

Link juice distributed to too many pages. Will noindex,follow fix this?
We have an e-commerce store with around 4000 product pages. Although our domain authority is not very high (we launched our site in February and now have around 30 RD's) we did rank on lots of long tail terms, and generated around 8000 organic visits / month. Two weeks ago we added another 2000 products to our existing catalogue of 2000 products, and since then our organic traffic dropped significantly (more than 50%). My guess is that link juice has been distributed to too many pages, causing rankings to drop on overall. I'm thinking about noindexing 50% of the product pages (the ones not receiving any organic traffic). However, I am not sure if this will lead to more link juice for the remaining 50% of the product pages, or not. So my question is: if I noindex,follow page A, will 100% of the linkjuice go to page B INSTEAD of page A, or will just a part of the link juice flow to page B (after flowing through page A first)? Hope my question is clear 🙂 P.s. We have a Dutch store, so the traffic drop is not a Panda issue 🙂
