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

How to increase Page authority of old blog posts
Hi, How can I increase the page authority of old blog posts? There are many posts that are ranking well (Page 1 lower or Page 2) - but I want to make them rank higher by making the post more usable, better UI, design, content relaunches etc - these all would inherently mean improving Page authority also eventually. What are some concrete steps I can take to improve page authority of blog pages?

Website can't break into Google Top100 for main keywords, considering 301 Redirect to a new domain
A little background on our case. Our website, ex: http://ourwebsite.com was officially live in December 2015 but it wasn't On-Site optimized and we haven't done any Off-site SEO to it. In April we decided to do a small redesign and we did it an online development server. Unfortunately, the developers didn't disallow crawlers and the website got indexed while we were developing it on the development server. The development version that got indexed in Google was http://dev.web.com/ourwebsite We learned that it got indexed when we migrated the new redesigned website to the initial domain. When we did the migration we decided to add www and now it looks like: http://www.ourwebsite.com Meanwhile, we deleted the development version from the development server and submitted "Remove outdated content" from the development server's Search Console. This was back in early May. It took about 15-20 days for the development version to get de-indexed and around 30 days for the original website (http://www.ourwebsite.com) to get indexed. Since then we have started our SEO campaign with Press Releases, Outreach to bloggers for Guest and Sponsored Posts etc. The website currently has 55 Backlinks from 44 Referring domains (ahrefs: UR25, DR37) moz DA:6 PA:1 with various anchor text. We are tracking our main keywords and our brand keyword in the SERPs and for our brand keyword we are position #10 in Google, but for the rest of the main (money) keywords we are not in the Top 100 results in Google. It is very frustrating to see no movement in the rankings for the past couple of months and our bosses are demanding rankings and traffic. We are currently exploring the option of using another similar domain of ours and doing a complete 301 Redirect from the original http://www.ourwebsite.com to http://www.ournewebsite.com Does this sound like a good option to you? If we do the 301 Redirect, will the link-juice be passed from the backlinks that we already have from the referring domains to the new domain? Or because the site seems "stuck," would it not pass any power to the new domain? Also, please share any other suggestions that we might use to at least break into the Top 100 results in Google? Thanks.

301 vs 410 for subdirectory that was moved to a new domain, 2-years later
Hi all, I've read a lot about 301 vs 404 and 410s, but the case is pretty unique so I decided to get some feedback from you. Both websites are travel related but we had one destination as a subdirectory of the other one (two neighboring countries, where more than 90% of business was related to the 'main' destination and the rest to the 'satellite'). This was obviously bad practice and we decided to move the satellite destination to its own domain. Everything was done 2 years ago and we opted for 301s to the new domain as we had some good links pointing to satellite content. (All of the moved content is destination specific and still relevant) Few weeks back we figured out that google still shows our subdirectory when doing specific 'site:' search and looking further into it, we realized we still get traffic for satellite destination through the main website via links acquired before the move. Not a lot of hits, but they still sporadically occur. A decision was made (rather hastily) to 410 pages and see if that will make satellite subdir pages not show in google searches. So 3 weeks in, 410 errors are climbing in GWMT, but satellite subdirectory still shows in google searches. One part of the team is pushing to put back in place 301s. The other part of the team is concerned with the 'health' of the main website as those pages are not relevant for it, and want them gone . What would you do?

Need advice on 301 domain redirection
Hello friends, We have two sites namely spiderman-example.com & avengers-example.com which sells the same product listed out under similar categories, since we are about to stop or put down the site “avengers-example.com” because we just want to concentrate in bringing up a single brand called spiderman-example.com. “Spiderman-example” has comparatively more visitors and conversion rates than ''avengers-example'' ie. 90 % more traffic and conversion. Avengers-example has a small fraction of loyal customers who still search for the brand-name & there are a hand-full of potential keywords those ranking on its own. So is it advisable to redirect Avengers-example to spiderman-example using 301-redirect? Will this help to gain any link-juice from Avengers-example? If so how can we effectively redirect between two domain’s with minimal loss in page authority & linkjuice to enhance ''spiderman-example''? Off beat:These names "Avengers" and "Spiderman" were just used as an example but the actual site names has no relation to the ones mentioned above.

Is there a way to redirect pages from an old site?
I have no access to an old wordpress site of a client's, but have parked the domain on their new site, gone into webmaster central and requested a change of address and wait... the old domain still shows in the search listings in place of the new site domain and the log files show 404 errors from links to the old site which go nowhere - can anyone suggest a way of managing this on the new site - is there a workaround to what should have been done - 301 redirects on the old site before it was taken down. many thanks
