Problem with re-direction
-
Please help me to solve a problem with redirection. I re-do the
site and move it to new domain page-by-page as recommended.I use WordPress Redirect plugin. I did everything as written 10
days ago but don't see redirection.For example, old page http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
New page http://njcruise.org/alaska-cruise-tour/
Where is a problem? How to solve it?

Thank you!!! I will try tomorrow.

The entire documentation is here: http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
I haven't used this plugin - only Simple 301s - not Redirection. So I'm not entirely sure if they want the whole URL but it should be simple to test. I would think you would put in the http:// but try it without - maybe that's the issue?
-
Matt, please clarify format for request. It has to be the whole address as http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485 or /aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
Thank you!
-
No worries! Let us know how it goes.
-
Thank you Matt!

Yes, don't use the plugin on NJCruise - just Aurora.
If they don't work, just deactivate (don't remove) the plugin and try the one I linked above (Simple 301s) It's a much easier plugin and it should work easily. If not, you can always delete Simple 301s and reactivate Redirection - so you'd still have all your work.
-
Right now I have on both! This is because I didn't know what to do! So, remove redirection from NJcruise? Thank you!

Hello Nadejda.
I see the plugin is installed on your aurora17 blog, but as you say, it isn't working.
Your old site has several problems, but it appears it does know how to redirect, but the plugin, not the apache server would be doing the redirecting if you set it up correctly.
Are you sure you set the redirects on Aurora and not on NJCruise?
-
You set up the plugin exactly as I said and it didn't work? That's odd. I think it's the way we're writing URLs then.
Deactivate the plugin.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-301-redirects/
Install and try Simple 301s ... try that. If it doesn't work, we'll keep working on the URLs for the first plugin but this should make your life better in like 5 minutes.

Thank you Matt! I used redirection plugin on NJcruise.org but noticed that this doesn't work. I switched to aurora17.com - the same issue. I changed the plugin - no result. Your suggestion? Thank you!
-
The problem is on aurora17.com - your Wordpress Redirect plugin is not working for some reason.
You're using this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/ ?
Source URL: http://aurora17.com/?page_id=2485
Target URL: http://njcruise.org/alaska-cruise-tour/
Type: Simple redirection
Method: 301
Then you just push "Add redirection" - it should be ok? Is the plugin activated on Aurora or NJCruise? You want it on Aurora to "push" the URLs to the new site. More info if you can...

I hope someone can help me with page indexing problem
I have a problem with all video pages on www.tadibrothers.com.
Technical SEO | | TadiBrothers
I can not understand why google do not index all the video pages?
I never blocked them with the robots.txt file, there are no noindex/nofollow tags on the pages. The only video page that I found in search results is the main video category page: https://www.tadibrothers.com/videos and 1 video page out of 150 videos: https://www.tadibrothers.com/video/front-side-rear-view-cameras-for-backup-camera-systems I hope someone can point me to the right way0 -
Problems with to many indexed pages
A client of our have not been able to rank very well the last few years. They are a big brand in our country, have more than 100+ offline stores and have plenty of inbound links. Our main issue has been that they have to many indexed pages. Before we started we they had around 750.000 pages in the Google index. After a bit of work we got it down to 400-450.000. During our latest push we used the robots meta tag with "noindex, nofollow" on all pages we wanted to get out of the index, along with canonical to correct URL - nothing was done to robots.txt to block the crawlers from entering the pages we wanted out. Our aim is to get it down to roughly 5000+ pages. They just passed 5000 products + 100 categories. I added this about 10 days ago, but nothing has happened yet. Is there anything I can to do speed up the process of getting all the pages out of index? The page is vita.no if you want to have a look!

Problems with Wordpress and Yoast SEO Plugin
Hi, I've been working with a Wordpress site and the Wordpress SEO plugin for a few months now and I've managed to get pretty decent results for some of the keywords I was targeting, however since last week I've lost all my rankings sharply and everything dropped out. This had happened once before and the problem was that the plugin was somehow stopped but not this time. I've had a look through all of the MOZ resources and I cannot find what the problem might be. Page optimization hasn't changed and the on page rankings are the same here. Everything seems to be the same except that all my top 10 ranking disappeared. I'm new to all of this and I'm still learning so I'd appreciate if anyone could help me on this. I'm up for trying any ideas you might have but I've tried almost everything I could. I've reinstalled, updated and done everything I could with the plugin, I've checked that Google is indexing the pages and it is. I've monitored for errors on the pages and critical issues, nothing major to report so I don't know anymore what to do. Thank you so much in advance for your help. M3rgAcQ paFNOlb

Delete or re-submit sitemaps for new products? How often?
When I add new products (approx. 10 a month), I usually delete the old sitemap and submit a new one. Is this ok to do, or should I just re-submit it with the new info included? Also, is once a month too much?

Empty Meta Robots Directive - Harmful?
Hi, We had a coding update and a side-effect of that was that our directive was emptied, in other words it now reads as: on all of the site. I've since noticed that Google's cache date on all of the pages - at least, the ones I tested - have a Cached date of no later than 17 December '12 - that's the Monday after the directive was removed on mass. So, A, does anyone have solid evidence of an empty directive causing problems? Past experience, Matt Cutts, Fishkin quote, etc. And then B - It seems fairly well correlated but, does my entire site's homogenous Cached date point to this tag removal? Or is it fairly normal to have a particular cache date across a large site (we're a large ecommerce site). Our site: http://www.zando.co.za/ I'm having the directive reinstated as soon as Dev permitting. And then, for extra credit, is there a way with Google's API, or perhaps some other tool, to run an arbitrary list and retrieve Cached dates? I'd want to do this for diagnosis purposes and preferably in a way that OK with Google. I'd avoid CURLing for the cached URL and scraping out that dates with BASH, or any such kind of thing. Cheers,

Problem with Rel Canonical
Background: We check to make sure that IF you use canonical URL tags, it points to the right page. If the canonical tag points to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank. If you've not made this page the rel=canonical target, change the reference to this URL. NOTE: For pages not employing canonical URL tags, this factor does not apply. Clearly I am doing something wrong here, how do I check my various pages to see where the problem lies and how do I go about fixing it?

Site problem
I moved a site earlier on in the year to a better server www.keyrs.co.uk, my main keywords being equity release - equity release calculator and equity release schemes. Since this happened the ranking have gone down and the schemes and calculator terms and have hit positions 7-8 when they were 2-3. basically my question is open to all, i am looking to see what the problem is with these pages as it is driving me nuts. All tools on SEO moz show the pages are doing well, however i must be missing something. Mike
