Hi ALL,
just changed over to https//.www.cocainetestkit.co.uk with the money being in wholesaling. However I am having my links poorly indexed - any suggestions?

When you specify Https to connect to a website, the actual connection requested by the browser is different. That’s something that you need to set up on your site – and you’re quite correct. The HTML doesn’t need to change for that. Instead of using https on only sensitive parts of your site, you may go ahead and use https for your entire site. This does not affect accessibility or performance in any way and it’s a great way to hedge your bets against future Google algorithm changes. Changing the text “http” to “https” in all of your links that point to other parts of your own site is likely the one technical task you’ll need to do yourself. You should set Up 301 Redirects.

When you moved your site to HTTPs, there are a few things that you need to do:
-- make sure you fix all the internal links on your site so that they point to the HTTPs version and not the HTTP version.
-- make sure you set up 301 Permanent Redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs.
-- verify the new HTTPs version of your site in Google Search Console. You should be seeing less pages indexed in the HTTP version and more pages in the HTTPs version of your site.
As long as you set up the proper redirects, you should not generally see any problems or changes in rankings. It will take some time for those new HTTPs URLs to get indexed, but the 301 redirects should take care of that.

Impact on backlinking with https://www.domain or https://domain
Hi, this questions have bugging me for a long time now; we check our website how is indexed on Google and we see that we have most of the backlinks for URL https://www.speedhub.eu , but 15% are linked to https://speedhub.eu , in the past we had our website for http requests redirected via 301 htaccess to https://speedhub.eu without giving it importance, now we have it with www included. Bottom line questions: Is it important if your links are with www or without www, do you lose "link juice" by splitting your backlinks via links with www or without www ? Does Google make a difference for domain positioning via this criteria ? Best regards,

Starting SEO For My E-commerce Site?
Hey guys, So I'm starting SEO for my e-commerce furniture store and I'm a little confused. Right now the only links I have are from sponsored posts. How do I get links from other sources? What other sources are there besides sponsored posts? I submitted my site to Dmoz.org and I was also going to submit it to the Yahoo directory. I have contacted a few personal home decor blogs but have not heard back from those people. Could someone steer me in the right direction. Thanks a ton!

Losing the WWW?
My website is wildbirdfeeders.com however so far everywhere I link to it, I use www.wildbirdfeeders.com. There is a 301 set up to always redirect you so you always land at wildbirdfeeders.com Question. Is this okay to have this set up this way? Am I hurting myself? Also should I do link building using the url wildbirdfeeders.com or www.wildbirdfeeders.com? Thoughts? Thanks!

Blogs that Link to Random Sites
Posting articles on the MyBlogGuest article gallery can lead to several sites offering to publish your guest post on their blog. However many of these sites will accept any guest post that links out to anything from socks to hotels. Would you avoid guest posting on these sites? (if it would take very little time to do)

Building backlinks for a newspaper site?
Anyone have tips on building links to a newspaper site? I am looking for a strategy to create links to a news site beyond building one link at a time. We have so much content that is constantly updated that it would be impossible to do this one page at a time.

Link Analysis Quality Issues / Concerns?
I'm currently using OSE to find out where some of my competitors are getting links. The intention is to find new link opportunities. What i'm finding is A LOT of directories. It seems like for every 1 good link opportunity I'm getting 9 directories. These directories are easy links, but my main worry is quality. Should I be obtaining these links or skip over them?
