Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Andy

Will try that

Hi

I'm currently updating an old (8 years old) html site to wordpress and about a month ago I redirected some url's to the new site (which is in a directory) like this...

Redirect 301 /article1.htm http://mysite.net/wordpress/article1/
Redirect 301 /article2.htm http://mysite.net/wordpress/article2/
Redirect 301 /article3.htm http://mysite.net/wordpress/article3/

Google has indexed these new url's and they are showing in search results. I'm almost finished the new version of site and it is currently in a directory /wordpress  I intend to move all the files from the directory to the root so new url when this is done will be http://mysite.net/article1/  etc

My question is - what to I do about the redirects which are in place - do I delete them and replace with something like this?

Redirect 301 /wordpress/article1/ http://mysite.net/article1/
Redirect 301 /wordpress/article2/ http://mysite.net/article2/
Redirect 301 /wordpress/article3/ http://mysite.net/article3/

Appreciate any help with this

Thanks Michael

I used screaming frog and no suspicious outbound links from my sites show

but when I check linkfromdomain: on Bing the suspicious links show

Hopefully this is an error with Bing

Hi

I've recently discovered Bing's linkfromdomain: operator and have been testing it on a few of my wordpress sites which are running the DIVI theme from elegant themes

These are new sites with little or no content yet

I was a bit alarmed when the results showed site I definitely had not linked to eg

slickdeals dot net
2521.gen778 dot com
9gag dot com
flowers.ftd dot com
www.jmldirect dot com
pubs.rsna dot org

is this an error from the Bing linkfromdomain: operaror

because when I run the domains through xenu these sites do not show

Hope someone can help

Thanks for feedback Spencer

The page that facebook removed from me was www.facebook.com/wildatlanticway  (no longer active)

Over the past year through a combination of posting quality content and paid advertising (with facebook) I had achieved 20,000 likes. All of these likes have been transferred to a new page (which yesterday had 700 likes) www.facebook.com/irelandswaw

The Wild Atlantic Way is being promoted by Ireland's tourism board and I quote directly from their reply to me below

"You may remember that I called you some weeks back to discuss the Facebook Wildatlanticway url. As you are aware, there is a trademark issue regarding the use of this .url and we requested that you transfer the url back to us as we are the agency who developed the Wild Atlantic Way and are currently working to bring it to as wide an audience as possible to promote Ireland as a holiday destination.

"While I appreciate that you have put some time and effort into developing the Facebook page, the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ as a brand and proposition belongs to Fáilte Ireland.  Following official discussions with personnel at  Facebook, we have learned that we have a right to this url (as the owner and promoter of the Wild Atlantic Way) and Facebook have transferred the page into our possession. Facebook informed me that they would be contacting you about this but I gauge from your email that this may not have happened yet."

Tourism Ireland spend a lot of money with facebook and have the advantage of meeting directly with them at their offices in Dublin.

I can't even get a reply to an email

Hi

Hope someone can help or offer advice about an issue that has arisen today

i had a facebook page with approx 20,000 likes and a competitor had a page with approx 500 likes. Today the competitor has over 20,000 like (my likes have been transferred to them without informing me)

I have spent quite a lot of time and money in facebook advertising building up the page and this came as a total shock today.

The page (was) www.facebook.com/wildatlanticway

It is very difficult to contact facebook. has this happened to anyone else

Regards

Brian
