Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is way I love the SEOMOZ community no matter how stupid the solution to your problem might be people will let you know.

I feel like an amateur (cause I'm) I think I overtrusted yoast's plugin, Because whenever your are blocking the robots it will tell you, hoewever this time it didn't and the site, through wordpress config, was blocking the site.

I changed it, resubmited the sitemaps, checked the code and updated yoast's great plugin....

Thanks guys... I SEOPromise to check always the code myself

Hello... We have a client, that had arround 17K visits a month... Last september he hired a company to do a redesign of his website....They needed to create a copy of the site on a different subdomain on another root domain... so I told them to block that content in order to not affect my production site, cause it was going to be an exact replica of the content but different design....

The developmet team did it wrong and blocked the production site (using robots.txt), so my site lost all it's organica traffic, which was 85-90% of the total traffic and now only get a couple of hundreds visits a month... First I thought we had been somehow penalized, however when I the other site recieving new traffic and being indexed i realized so I switched the robots.txt and created 301 redirect from the subdomain to the production site.

After resending sitemaps, links to google+ and many things I can't get google to reindex my site.... when i do a site:domain.com search in google I only get 3 results. Its been now almost 2 month and honestly dont know what to do....

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Dan

Thanks for the response.

Point 1 already did...

Point 2 might be a solution,I was kind of blind with the mess so I tried to block that domain.... Will try with redirects now

Any other suggestion it's welcome

I got a site with 98% (not provided)... Overall among 28 sites that I checked I got a 87% avg.... But the trend line it's exponential on the las 10 weeks.

EGOL I've checked what you said about Safari traffic, I'm using GA and got as well a lot of direct traffic, however 95% was from IOS devices.... maybe the issue it's related to only mobile devices?

Hello....

I got to tell that I feel like a newbie (I am, but know I feel like it)... We were working with a client until january this year, they kept going on their own until september that they contacted us again... Someone on the team that handled things while we were gone, updated it´s robots.txt file to Disallow everything... for maybe 3 weeks before we were back in.... Additionally they were working on a different subdomain, the new version of the site and of course the didn't block the robots on that one. So now the whole site it's been duplicated, even it´s content, the exact same pages exist on the suddomain that was public the same time the other one was blocked.

We came in changes the robots.txt file on both server, resend all the sitemaps, sent our URL on google+... everything the book says... but the site it´s not getting indexed. It's been 5 weeks now and no response what so ever. We were highly positioned on several important keywords and now it's gone.

I now you guys can help, any advice will be highly appreciated.

thanks

Dan

I agree with you.

I think down here in venezuela people are not as aware as maybe other countries to figure out that the domain changed.

My main worry, as i told moosa is that the client does not have the resources to maintain both sites. I guess using the .com domain was the only way to combine both.

The Client it's offers several consulting services, business plans, financial planning, legal consulting etc.

thanks

Ok... thanks for your answer.... However the client does not have the manpower o resources to produce content for both sites.

What would you do in that case?
