Backlinks vs multiple domains
-
Hello,
Our main website is setup on a .com domain and a .ca is setup as a 301 Permanent redirection to the .com.
We just signed up to Majestic and found that we had a bunch of backlink linking to the .ca instead of the .com.
My question is, is the SEO juice (for DA) being passed by from the .ca to the .com or I should start contacting those websites to get the backlink changed to .com?
Thanks

Hi GlobeCar!
I found this Moz blog post that should provide some insight: https://moz.com/blog/301-redirection-rules-for-seo
I hope this helps - let me know if I can be of anymore assistance. Thank you!

You're fine. The 301 redirect will pass link equity to the .COM so you don't need to go crazy getting everyone to "fix" their links.

Are Old Backlinks Hurting Or Helping?
I have a ton of old backlinks for products that I no longer carry but I have redirected them to other pages within the site. I was told by an SEO expert that these links are hurting me rather than helping because people click on the links and then leave. These backlinks are from reputable blogs, news sources etc and my spam score is only 1%. Are these links really hurting me?

Requesting udpate's from old domain to new domain
Hey guys, We had a domain change three years ago now which was redirected. Many of the old domains have not been updated to the new domain. The redirect is in place. I'm just wondering if there would it be a worthwhile exercise to reach out to sites to request an update of the URL link from an SEO perspective? Many thanks Rob

Backlinks from Open Site Explorer not updated
Hi folks! I was checking the backlink profile for my website - wishpicker.com - we got linked to by a large number of prominent websites in the last couple of months. For some reason, this does not seem to show up when I do a backlink search on OSE. Is there something that I need to do here/ fix? Thanks in advance!
