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 an iframe redirect on the same Domain bad for SEO
Good morning. We have a vendor that has created a landing page with content that we want to use. Because of the way we built the site, the only way to use the content is to create an i-frame. The i-frame is re-directingon the same Domain. Would we benefit from the SEO Content?

Lower quality new domain link vs higher quality repeat domain link
First time poster here with a dilemma that head scratching and spreadsheets can't solve! I'm trying to work out whether to focus on getting links from new domains or to nurture relationships with the bigger sites in our business and get more links. Of the two links below which does the community here think would be more valuable a signal to Google? Both would be links from within relevant text/post copy. Link 1. Site DA 30. No links currently from this domain. Link 2. Site DA 60. Many links over last 12 months already from this domain. I suspect link 1 but given the enormous disparity in ranking power am I correct?! Thanks for any considered opinions out there! Matthew

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

Hit by Penguin, Can I move the content from the old site to a new domain and start again with the same content which is high quality
I need some advice please. My website got the unnatural links detected message and was hit by penguin.. hard. Can I move the content from the current domain to a new domain and start again or does the content need to be redone also. I will obviously turn of the old domain once its moved. The other option is to try and identify the bad links and change my anchor profile which is a hit and miss task in my opinion. Would it not be easier just to identify the good links pointing to the old domain and get those changed to point to the new domain with better anchors. thanks Warren
