I have redirected my old domain to my new blog, why its not being detected?
-
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

Is surfacing top blog posts with read more link could create a boost in traffic to main domain?
Hi mozzers, Because our blog is located on blog.example.com on powered by Wordpress and currently can't migrate it to the main domain, unfortunately. Since we would like to grow our main's domain organic traffic and would like to test an option that could help us leverage the traffic of the top blog posts content. There is a Wordpress API that would allow us to get 100-200 words(snippet of the blog post) from the blog posts into the main domain that would provide a "Read more link" linking back to the blog.

Redirected Old Pages Still Indexed
Hello, we migrated a domain onto a new Wordpress site over a year ago. We redirected (with plugin: simple 301 redirects) all the old urls (.asp) to the corresponding new wordpress urls (non-.asp). The old pages are still indexed by Google, even though when you click on them you are redirected to the new page. Can someone tell me reasons they would still be indexed? Do you think it is hurting my rankings?

Redirecting a redirect - thoughts?
Hi! A client has just had 14k 404s pop up in his WMT. I think this is because a page that they redirected to had moved. My question is, can I clean these up by redirecting the page the original redirect was one? If so, will it have any negative impact?

Does posting multiple blog entries lower domain authority?
As we continue our content marketing efforts, and increase the frequency of posting to the blog, would this impact our domain authority? We are assuming that when you add new pages, their low authority contribute to decreasing the domain's authority. Is this the case? It might not hurt a big site like SEOmoz that's already in the 90's. What about a site in the 20-30 range?

Rankings Up instantly after publishing new blog article
Hello All, My question is, why did my site rankings go up all of a sudden as soon as I published an article in my blog and it gets indexed (almost immidiately) The rankings increase are the following Keyword 1: from Top 5 to Top 1 Keyword 2: from Top 4 to Top 2 Keyword 3: from Top 16 to Top 3 Keyword 4: from no where to Page 2 (big time keyword) Any ideas or experience on this? When it first happened early this week(i published a new article), my site rankings dropped back after a couple of days. I did the same pattern by pubishing a new article and it went back up again. No personalized result here btw. Thank you

Root domain or sub domain? WWW. or NOT WWW......
I am a little confused! I use vidahost whom I have to say I find very helpful. I currently have the domains www.fentonit.co.uk and www.fentonit.com, now the websites was set up using the www.fentonit.com and I have www.fentonit.co.uk as a parked domain pointed to the www.fentonit.com. Confused yet? Now because I wanted the website to show www.fentonit.co.uk I added some code I was given by the guys to the .hta access file and viola up it comes as the .co.uk which is what I wanted. So if your still here and havent A: Killed yourself yet or B: Went to the Pub Then my questions are: 1. Is there going to be an issue from an SEO point of view having my site set up this way and if so how do I resolve it? 2. Would I be better using the root domain fentonit.co.uk (I think this is the root domain, although it iscurrently parked and pointed) as opposed to the sub www domain?.......and finally.......? 3. If it is set up as I stated what exactly would be my root domain, would it be the .co.uk or the .com? Sorry and I completely understand if your not interested in answering it but if you do.....Thanks in advance and I'll take you to the pub...lol Craig www.fentonit.co.uk ( i think)

Are sites that leave out www from domain at a disadvantage to domains with www in url
I know this has been discussed but was wondering what would be the best approach from an SEO perspective. I quite like the idea of setting up websites with domains without www but always worry that setting up domains without www has a disadvantage because user are use to referring to sites with the www included. Thus one of my fears are that users would link back using www version which will mean even if you do a 301 redirect that some of the link juice would be lost. I know some famous sites have used this convention such as http://searchenginewatch.com/ so think it would be possible but still concerned that for new sites it would be better to rather stick to conventions. What are your opinions about this?
