Unsolved I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know.
-
Hello
I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know.
For example. I created a noindex site for a few days event purposes. Using a random domain like this: event.example.com. Expecting 5000+ clicks per day.
Is it possible to gain some traffic juice from this event website domain "example.com" to my other main site "main.com" but without exposing its URL.
Thought about using 301 redirecting "example.com" to "main.com". But it will reveal the example-b.com to the general public if someone visits the domain "example.com".
Also thought about using a canonical URL, but it would not be working because the event site is noindex. or it would not matter at all
Wondering if there is a thing like this to gain some traffic juice for another domain?
Thanks

It seems like you are trying to leverage a temporary event website to potentially transfer some traffic or "juice" to your main website without exposing the main site's URL. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
301 Redirects:
Using a 301 redirect from event.example.com to main.com would indeed transfer some SEO value. However, as you mentioned, this would expose the main domain to users who visit the event site, defeating the purpose of keeping it undisclosed.Canonical Tags:
Canonical tags are meant to indicate the preferred version of a page when there are duplicate or very similar content. In this case, as the event site is set to noindex, search engines may not consider canonical tags.Noindex:
The "noindex" meta tag is used to instruct search engines not to index a particular webpage. This means the content won't appear in search engine results. However, it doesn't necessarily prevent search engines from following links on that page.Considering the goal of transferring some SEO value without revealing the main site's URL, here are a few potential suggestions:
Link Building:
Consider building internal links on the event site to relevant pages on the main site. This won't provide an immediate SEO boost, but it may help search engines discover and index your main site's content more efficiently.Social Media:
Promote the event site on social media platforms and encourage sharing. While this won't directly affect search engine rankings, it can generate traffic and awareness.Email Marketing:
If you have an email list for the event, include links or CTAs (calls to action) that direct users to the main site. Again, this won't directly impact SEO but can drive targeted traffic. -
At the domain zehlm.com will it boost "Link Juice" if there are dofollow links leading from other webpages of the same domain to the index home page? OR- will it penalize the website? OR- if it will work and help, and how many dofollow links from other same domain pages will cause toxic repercussions?

Rel canonical tag from shopify page to wordpress site page
We have pages on our shopify site example - https://shop.example.com/collections/cast-aluminum-plaques/products/cast-aluminum-address-plaque That we want to put a rel canonical tag on to direct to our wordpress site page - https://www.example.com/aluminum-plaques/ We have links form the wordpress page to the shop page, and over time ahve found that google has ranked the shop pages over the wp pages, which we do not want. So we want to put rel canonical tags on the shop pages to say the wp page is the authority. I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate your feeback and best solution. Thanks! Is that possible?

GA4 account & property not showing in traffic property setup list.
Hi there, I've connected multiple client accounts to GA4 already, but three of our accounts that we have administrator rights to in GA4 are not showing up in our selectable accounts/properties list when logged in via Moz to add to the traffic settings area. Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?

When to re-write and redirect a blog url?
What are best practices for rewriting (and then redirecting) blog URLs? I refresh old blog posts on our blog every month and many of them have URLs that are too long or could be improved. However, many of them also already get decent organic traffic and I don't want to lose traffic due to a URL redirect. Are there any best practices or "rules" I can follow when deciding whether to re-write and redirect blog URLs?

Need help understanding "Clone sites"
I just read an article about Panda and it warned against against Clone sites: "Clone sites are a strong panda factor (JM, Mar 10, 2014)" I don't have any clone sites, but there are dozens of sites with imitations of mine. We were the first in the area of interest, and then all these other sites that imitated us popped up. None are exact replicas. But many have spun some of our articles and used them to create their sites; the site structures are not identical though. Google seems to know we are the original site on the topic since we are ranked #1 for most terms. Would these be considered clone sites in their eyes?

What are the ranking factors for "Google News"? How can we compete?
We have a few sport news websites that are picked up by Google News. Once in a blue moon, one of our articles ranks for a great keyword and shows in one of the 3 listings that Google News has in SERPS. Any tips on how we can we optimise more of our articles to compete in these 3 positions?

Help with setting up 301 redirects from /default.aspx to the "/" in ASP.NET using MasterPages?
Hi SEOMoz Moderators and Staff, My web developer and I are having a world of trouble setting up the best way to 301 redirect from www.tisbest.org/default.aspx to the www.tisbest.org since we're using session very heavily for our ASP.NET using MasterPages. We're hoping for some help since our homepage has dropped 50+ positions for all of our search terms since our first attempt at setting this up 10 days ago. = ( A very bad result. We've rolled back the redirects after realizing that our session system was redirecting www.tisbest.org back to www.tisbest.org/default.aspx?AutoDetectCookieSupport=1 which would redirect to a URL with the session ID like this one: http://www.tisbest.org/(S(whukyd45tf5atk55dmcqae45))/Default.aspx which would then redirect again and throw the spider into an unending redirect loop. The Google gods got angry, stopped indexing the page, and we are now missing from our previous rankings though, thankfully, several of our other pages do still exist on Google. So, has anyone dealt with this issue? Could this be solved by simply resetting up the 301 redirects and also configuring ASP.NET to recognize Google's spider as supporting cookies and thus not serving it the Session ID that has caused issue for us in the past? Any help (even just commiserating!) would be great. Thanks! Chad

What Questions Should I Be Asking?
I just read a discussion that was originally posted by Steve Ollington on May 22, 2011 where he states that many people are asking the wrong types of questions on this forum. He said that he wonders if he will see a shift from people asking questions on "how to rank" to questions dealing with "how to work out the best KPIs" (Key Performance Indicators - yes I had to google it). I was once told we learn more by asking questions about a topic than by just listening. I've also been told that sometimes the right question to ask is, "What questions should I be asking?" So here is my question, what types of questions should I be asking to be better at SEO? Perhaps these are some of them: Is it possible to be good at SEO when it is not a full-time job? It is very tempting to look for easy answers when you only have limited time. What are considered KPI's? Are they different for every industry? How do you know what is junk information vs what is truly good SEO advice? Is it just simply trial and error? It seems to me that if people find truly good SEO information, they aren't going to be sharing it so easily. It's the whole, "You get what you pay for". Maybe some of you can tell me more of the questions I should be asking.
