Problem www/non-www domain rewrite
-
Hello,
I've made a site for a client about 1 year ago. The rankings are quite okay, but the home page suffers from a penalty I think.
I found out via OSE that PageAuthority strangely is higher on the 301-ed page
www.myanmar-rundreisen.de - PA 32
myanmar-rundreisen.de/ - PA 33I don't understand what is happening here as I am using the usual htaccess 301-redirect:
Rewrite domain.com -> www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.myanmar-rundreisen.de [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.myanmar-rundreisen.de/$1 [L,R=301]which is working fine with other domains ...
I tried also (last line)
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.myanmar-rundreisen.de/$1 [L,R=301]
So thanks to anyone who can share an idea on that ...

Yes. Google Webmaster Tools know about www since long ...

I think that's is impossible that you see change in opensiteexplorer early.
First you must logged in webmaster tools of google e decide if you use your domain with
www or without.
After you must wait the the search engine understand that this is changed.
Ciao

Hi Maurizio
thanks for this code version - I changed the htaccess rewrite to your version.
htaccess does what is expected ...
No change yet in opensiteexplorer results with that htaccess, but may be after some hours ...
-
only so?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1
[R=301,L]Ciao
Maurizio

Sudden Indexation of "Index of /wp-content/uploads/"
Hi all, I have suddenly noticed a massive jump in indexed pages. After performing a "site:" search, it was revealed that the sudden jump was due to the indexation of many pages beginning with the serp title "Index of /wp-content/uploads/" for many uploaded pieces of content & plugins. This has appeared approximately one month after switching to https. I have also noticed a decline in Bing rankings. Does anyone know what is causing/how to fix this? To be clear, these pages are **not **normal /wp-content/uploads/ but rather "index of" pages, being included in Google. Thank you.

Will this URL structure: "domain.com/s/content-title" cause problems?
Hey all, We have a new in-house built too for building content. The problem is it inserts a letter directly after the domain automatically. The content we build with these pages aren't all related, so we could end up with a bunch of urls like this: domain.com/s/some-calculator

Should we 301 redirect our old domain to the new domain
We have a product that when started was under the domain appnowgo.com. We've since changed the name and the domain is now knackhq.com. The latter domain doesn't rank nearly as well as the former for many of the keywords we are targeting. For example... "online database builder" and "web app builder" are two of those keywords. Obviously having app in the domain is not a bad thing but it is our old name. The question is, should we 301 the appnowgo.com domain to knackhq.com? Or should we use that better rank and just link users to knackhq.com from the appnowgo.com site until we can increase our ranking for knackhq.com? We don't plan to update the content on appnowgo.com anymore and we obviously don't want to drop off rank if at all possible. Thanks! Eric

Change of domain name?
Hello, We are currently developing a new site for an existing online clothing retailer. The existing site is on a .co.uk domain, however we are targeting a global market and wondered whether we could/should launch the new site under a .com address and whether this would be beneficial? Most of our back links come from Affiliate blogs and we could quite easily change these to the new URL. Thanks Bilal

Buying a new domain
Hello guys! We are in process of buying a new domain. How can we be sure that this domain is not blacklisted and are there any steps to take in order to be sure that whatever we are buying is actually in "good shape"? Thanks much!
