Hey Experts,
I hope you are all doing great, I'm extremely confused right now. Any help will be much appreciated. I have redirected my old blog hellgatelondon.com to my new blog iriveramerica.com.
It has been redirected for many days with wild card from bluehost and also within htaccess but Moz link explorer won't detect it, what's the problem? anyone please?
Kind regards...

Let me know if this was of help or not
All the best,

Your server is 301 redirecting every page from hellgatelondon.com to the https://iriveramerica.com/ homepage.
This is very bad.

To fix this fast
Step 1
First you will need to add your domain that you want to redirect to Cloudflare. Simply signup for a free account and click on “+ Add Site.” Input your domain and click on “Begin Scan.” It may take a minute or two and then click on “Continue Setup.”
Step 2
By default the scan will show you the records of your current domain. You can simply delete everything and simply leave an A name record for both the www version and your primary domain. The IP address is simply the one provided by your current domain registrar. In this case, it was just. Then click on “Continue.”
Step 3
Select the Cloudflare free plan and click “Continue.”
Step 4
You will then need to point your current domain to the Cloudflare nameservers. You can do this at your domain registrar.
Step 5
Under the Crypto menu, select “Flexible” SSL. You will need this to ensure that redirects over HTTPS also work.
Step 6
Under the Page Rules menu click on “Create Page Rule.”
Step 7
You will then want to enter the following pattern:
https://hellgatelondon.com/*
Select “Forwarding URL” and “301 – Permanent Redirect” for the settings, and input the following rule:
https://iriveramerica.com/$1
The /$1 enables the wildcard part to function. Then click on “Save and Deploy.”
he single rule above makes the following work:
- http://www.hellgatelondon.com/ 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com
- https://hellgatelondon.com/ 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com
- http://hellgatelondon.com/* 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com/*
- https://www.hellgatelondon.com/* 301 redirects to https://iriveramerica.com/*

Hi
I see what happen you 301 redirected all of your pages to your new homepage
three examples (the fix is below)
redirects
| Redirect Type | URL |
| | http://www.hellgatelondon.com/system-requirements/ |
| 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/system-requirements/ |
| 301 | http://iriveramerica.com/ |
| 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/ || Redirect Type | URL |
| | http://www.hellgatelondon.com/namco-announces-free-server-support-2009-hellgate |
| 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/namco-announces-free-server-support-2009-hellgate |
| 301 | http://iriveramerica.com/ |
| 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/ || Redirect Type | URL |
| | http://www.hellgatelondon.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released |
| 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released |
| 301 | http://iriveramerica.com/ |
| 301 | https://iriveramerica.com/ |http://www.hellgatelondon.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released
So it 301 redirects to:
https://iriveramerica.com/underground/single-player-patch-0-6-released
You need to set up page to page 301 redirects
If you have not made any changes to your overall site structure, but have simply relocated the site in its current state, you can add the following lines to your .htaccess file located at the root of your old domain:
<ifmodulemod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^hellgatelondon.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.hellgatelondon.com$ RewriteRule (.*)$ https://iriveramerica.com.com/$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodulemod_rewrite.c>
If you have made changes to your site structure, you can still use the lines above on your old domain, but you will also need to create redirects in the .htaccess file on your new domain to handle the specific site changes.
Then in Google
Use the change of address tool here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/change-address,
Here is the how-to: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en
You can always use this to help with 301's

Old content with trailing `/` - What should be my new approach?
Dear team Moz, I'm investigating SEO issues for the site that dropped rankings over a period of 4-6 months; after conversion from old platform (xenForo) to new custom developed platform. The old version of the site was a simple xenForo based forum; with threads having standard url structure as like www.domain.com/threads/thread-title.{thread_id}/. Notice the trailing slash. We chose to keep the URLs intact during conversion to new platform; however the site still lost rankings. I'm sure there could be multiple reasons for it - but I wish to know if I should adjust the URLs - 1. By 301 redirecting all the URLs with trailing / to the URLs without /. 2. Leave the URLs as they were. I must also mention that the new site has several new sections; and the old forum is just one part of it. The rest of the site follows URLs without trailing / - as it's the recommended URL structure by Google. I'd really appreciate your suggestions on this.

How to speed up transition towards new 301 redirected landing pages?
Hi SEO's, I have a question about moving local landing pages from many separate pages towards integrating them into a search results page. Currently we have many separate local pages (e.g. www.3dhubs.com/new-york). For both scalability and conversion reasons, we'll integrate our local pages into our search page (e.g. www.3dhubs.com/3d-print/Bangalore--India). **Implementation details: **To mitigate the risk of a sudden organic traffic drop, we're currently running a test on just 18 local pages (Bangalore) = 1 / 18). We applied a 301 redirect from the old URL's to the new URL's 3 weeks ago. Note: We didn't yet update the sitemap for this test (technical reasons) and will only do this once we 301 redirect all local pages. For the 18 test pages I manually told the crawlers to index them in webmaster tools. That should do I suppose. **Results so far: **The old url's of the 18 test cities are still generating > 99% of the traffic while the new pages are already indexed (see: https://www.google.nl/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=site:www.3dhubs.com/3d-print/&start=0). Overall organic traffic on test cities hasn't changed. Questions: 1. Will updating the sitemap for this test have a big impact? Google has already picked up the new URL's so that's not the issue. Furthermore, the 301 redirect on the old pages should tell Google to show the new page instead, right? 2. Is it normal that search impressions will slowly shift from the old page towards the new page? How long should I expect it to take before the new pages are consistently shown over the old pages in the SERPS?

Consolidating two separate domains and redirecting towards a new replatformed domain
A client has two different sites selling the same products with the same content, they would like to replatform onto Magento while redirecting those 2 sites to the new URL. The question is, besides monitoring the 301 redirects is there anything else to take into consideration when consolidating two sites into one new site?

New site causes massive drop off in ranking, old site restored how long to recover?
Hello, We launched and updated version of our site, mainly design changes and some functionality. 3 days after the launch we vanished from the rankings, previous page one results were now out of the top 100. We have identified some of the issues with the new site and chose to restore the old well ranking site. My question is how long might it take for the ranking to come back, if at all? The drop happened on the third day and the site was restored on the third day. We are now on day 6. Using GWT with have used fetch as Google and resubmitted the site map. Any help would be gladly received. Thanks James

How do i migrate from Volusion to Magento with the same domain using 301 redirect?
We are thinking about migrating our site from Volusion to Magento due to traffic reasons, our site's been growing and we're going way over the bandwidth limit (40gb) for Volusion every month. It only make sense for us to start on Magento CE where we can host it on our site and use our own bandwidth. We will be using the same domain, and changing our URLs to make things better (we were somewhat restricted by Volusion so we couldn't optimize some of our URL addresses). Here's comes the main question, since we are ranking pretty good for the keywords that we're targeting, we ABSOLUTELY DON'T want to lose any traffic or ranking from our pages, I know that there's something called the 301 redirect that we can use, but how can this be done? When we migrate the site, we will need to point our domain to Magento from Volusion, so basically Volusion store will be down... if we are changing domain names then the 301 redirect makes sense because we can have the original store live while it's redirecting to a completely new address. Is there any method to still setup this 301 redirect, or is there something else I can do to save our rankings??? Thanks in advance!

Sub domain on root domain
Hello,
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | dror999
I have a question that I can't find a good answer on.
I have a site, actually a "portal"/ "directory" for service providers.
Now, for start, we opened every service provider own page on our site, but now we get a lot of applications from those providers that thy want sites from their own.
We want to make every service provider his own site, but on sub domain url. ( they don’t mind… its ok for them)
So, my site is www.exaple.com
There site will be: provider.exaple.com
Now I have two questions:
1. can it harm my site in SEO?
2. if one from those sub domain , punished by google because is owner do "black hat seo" , how it will affect the rood domin? It can make the root domain to get punished?
Thanks!!0 -
Subdomain blog vs. subfolder blog in 2013.
Having read this ( http://www.seomoz.org/q/blog-on-a-subdomain-vs-subfolder ) & countless of blog posts on never to put your blog on a domain because a subdomain is treated as a different site & your blog traffic won't help with your main sites authority. I've always pushed for subfolder blogs. However I've been seeing a lot of blogs now and days saying that Google is now treating subdomains as the same site as your main site. http://www.brafton.com/news/subdomains-vs-subdirectories-for-seo-no-serp-benefits-for-subdomains-anymore http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/34173/subdomains-vs-subdirectory-status-as-of-2012/34366#34366 ETC... What does everyone think? Is it acceptable to have a blog in a subdomain in 2013? Thanks!

Brand new domain with a lot of old links.
So I just bought http://penny-auctions.co/ a couple of days ago, ignore the fact it's not set up yet and generally just a mess, and something kept bugging me about why the domain authority kept showing as 25 in the SEOmoz toolbar. Now initially I'd set it up as www. and with the trailing slash so the PA was 1, however after a bit of exploration it seems that someone has been building links to the non-www version of the domain for at least a year! The site has never been owned before so I've now made the non-www version the default and have a 5 day old site with PA 35 and DA 25! SEOmoz shows PA - 45 links, 20 domains and DA - 341 links, 113 domains. Majestic Historic - 8598 links, 236 domains and Fresh - 160 links, 62 domains. Brilliant! Except they're all spamtastic. What do you think this will do for my future attempts at ranking? Should I create pages that have links to them or just 301 them?
