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?

Links from a nonexistent domain, what do we do?
Our website is receiving 15 links that I believe are negatively impacting us. The problem is, this website linking to us no longer exists. The domain is not even hosted. The website linking to us is: thepurpleelephantboutique . com/ How do we fix/resolve this issue?

301 and 302 for same link
Just trying to find out if this may be the root of a slight traffic dip and also if we should be redirecting differently. We relaunched and did 301 redirects to the new site, initially. Then, we decided to change from http to https. Our HTTP status now looks like this when using the MozBar: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently – http://site.com/oldurl

HTTP/1.1 302 Found – https://site.com/oldurl
HTTP/1.1 200 OK - https://site.com/new Should we be changing that 302 to a 301? Are we losing link equity due to this? Thanks.0 -

Are no follows leaking link juice?
Recently, in a discussion on resources pages EGOL informed me that just because I had no followed the links on my my resource page, I was still leaking link juice. He mentioned that this was a recent change in Google policy. This was quite a surprise. I have done a couple of searches on this recent change but have not found any information. Am I simply the last one on the planet to learn this and this change is widely known and understood? If so, does that mean honest resource pages (I have two such pages) that are there to help visitors are negatively impacting the site - at least in terms of SEO? If they are leaking link juice is it comparable to a followed link or a smaller amount that has less impact?

Linking from and to pages
My website, www.kamperen-bij-de-boer.com, tells people what campingssites can be found in The Netherlands for recreational purposes. In order for a campingsite to be mentioned on our website we ask them to place a link to our website (either using a text link or image link) and then we make a page for that campsite on our website with in the end a link to ther website, e.g. http://www.kamperen-bij-de-boer.com/Minicamping-In-t-Oldambt.html -> they in return link back to us. Since this comes natural will this or won't this be penalized by Google and so on for linkfarming. At this moment we have about 600 camping sites on our website alone linking to us (not all of them) and we are linking to them. Since this can be explained as link trading which is not as good for your ranking as one-way-linking what should be wise? Should i include a nofollow? I already have many links from other sites linking to mine without having to link back, is there anything else i can do with linking to ensure better ranking?

Removing 301 Redirects
Is it safe to remove old 301 Redirects from an SEO standpoint and can 301s dramatically affect seo? Prior to switching our old domain over to our new domain, we had (and currently still do) tons of 301 redirects, because of optimizing our file names and structure. Then our old domain was redirected to our new domain in the same redirect file. So that being said, now that our new domain has been up and running for about 3 months, would it be safe for me to get rid of the old 301 redirects and redirect anything that was on our old domain to our new domains home page? This would clean up our redirects tremendously and I hope would help with SEO.

Too many links on my site
Hi there everybody, I am a total SEO newbie and i am burning with questions. I had my site crawled and found out that it contains too many links. The reason is that it is a site where I constantly write news and articles and each one of them is a new Joomla item, thus a new link. I actually thought lots of content is good for SEO. How am I supposed to reduce the link amount?
