Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi There,

I have had the same problem and what worked every time was to disconnect my GA account and then reconnect. This is not an immediate fix but will sort it out.

Hope this helps

Hi there Tihomir,

Although the www to www2 differs the .domain.com will still be the same, this will be seen as a duplicate domain in a way by Google or any other search engine. And will definitely damage ranking of your site.

So the best thing to do here is to remove the old site completely or just edit it so that google cant crawl the site if it is a necessity to have the old one live.

Hope this helps

Hi there Djacko,

You redirected A to B but could not redirect A or B to C, So that means google is still not to sure of which one is the correct url. And switching from https to http is telling google you have a new domain.

So don't stress to much just make sure that your http://www.homepage.nl and the https://www.homepage.nl has the same work and SEO done on them and give google time to realise whats happend to you site.

In personal experience a 301 redirect always takes the longer to be crawled and updated and in this case its your homepage (domain).

Hope this helps and good luck

Hi Tim,

When you move over google will pick up that you are using a new CMS for your website because the coding and structure will all be different. Aslong as you are going to have the same SEO and structure (url's) done google should recognize it, but to guarantee that you will still have the same ranking after google crawled on your "new site" is not possible.

So I would recommend you stay up too date with your SEO optimisation, and keep a keen eye on on ranking as you switch over.

You should rather replace the whole site at once so that you will have a quality site, and when it comes to optimising its all done on the same CMS which will make your life a lot easier and less confusing.

Hope this help and feel free to ask if something didn't make sense or if you would like to know more.

Hey There,

I had the exact same problem with two of my websites,

My solution was as follow:

I saw there was a common character in the poppup's dynamic url that was no where else on my site's other url's eg: "?". I went and dissallow the "?" as follow in my robots.txt.

Disallow: /?

Although all of these url's (pages) was not being crawled anymore I thought I would loose PA. But still took the gamble to see what will happen.

Its been six months and my ranking has gone up on both sites.

Hope this helps

Hi Erik,

I think the best solution for this is to create landing pages (incl. forms) whereby all traffic is directed to complete the lead (conversion). With this you just need to setup a landing page where the client can choose the doctor and fill in their personal details. The conversion comes after the details have been submitted (so the goal for this should be setup on GA). By doing this you can see your source and path of conversion on GA.

Also you will need to structure this right. For example:

• Traffic coming from paid should go directly to the landing page thats content is relevant to the source. Example: An ad about free withdrawals from a specific bank (this content / copy targets a specific banking audience). The landing page content describes how and why these saving are possible (in bullet form / short sentences).

• The banners on your own site will be easy to track because the url embedded inside them link through to the landing page (Source and Path will be shown in GA)

Hi there,

Creating a new website to replace the old one you have to make sure that the old website (old page's) isn't accessible by crawlers. So a quick solution would be to add a robots.txt to your domain and disallow the url's of the pages you don't want to be crawled.

Here is a cheat sheet from MOZ on how disallow works and how to implement it.

Hey MOZ Community.

I have a site that is currently full https (ssl) and what to move it to http (non-ssl).

How will this move effect my SEO and what would be the best method of doing so without causing to much damage?
