Google still showing sitelinks from old website
-
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.

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.

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

Using Google Reviews for non local business
Hi All, We are deciding on what site is best to capture reviews from customers and I'm just not sure what is the ideal option. We are a SaaS business with multiple offices in different locations but the specific geographies are not really relevant to our customers. Is it worth focusing on google reviews so that when our brand is searched there are plenty of nice shiny stars (plus maybe they can be added into adwords adverts as well...). Search volume for the keywords we don't yet rank for are not massive although still important. Alternatively should we be thinking about something like G2Crowd. None of our competitors are doing anything so there's no real need to our muscle them on a review website and I don't think our end user will visit these sites before buying but we would point to them and say 'hey, look at all these great reviews'. Finally I searched my old company recently who and just under news results were facebook reviews. Maybe that's another option. All advice welcome. All advice appreciated.

Is this a violation of Google guidelines and current industry best practices correct? Regarding Iran Facts
I have read Moz for a good deal of time but I have never been gotten involved, until now...

Looking For Offline Software that Synchronizes with an E-commerce Website.
First of all, this isn't really SEO related. I can see this being an interesting discussion. One of my websites has a POS system that has an integrated eCommerce store where using a third party software you can sync the data that is in the pos directly to the website. You can add what products you want on the website with the (offline) software and add all the online product essentials such as product pictures, shipping weights, titles and ECT. I am looking for a shopping cart system that is an offline software that you would install on your PC and basically add everything offline and then sync like the other software but without the pos. It would basically be like eBay turbo Lister but instead of eBay it would be your website...obliviously. I have been looking for a while now and can't seem to find anything. Is there such a thing? I know this would be kick ass platform to develop and I have everything mapped out how to do it if there isn't one out there. Looking for insight.

Anyone drawn a Google Penguin?
Just a bit of light relief in the world of SEO. Hey SEO people are funny and can laugh as well 🙂 Our SEO team has had a go at drawing some penguins and the results are funny to us as they are so childlike. Anyone else fancy adding their drawing to the flicker group. This is just a bit of fun for us all! http://www.flickr.com/groups/googlepenguincartoons/
