Welcome to the Q&A Forum

thanks for your answer, what can I do in case I see those backlinks and I can't remove them? Is there any way to contact google to ask them to don't count the links? Or can I suit the person is doing this? Is it illegal ?

The alexa rank measures the visits to a website, so to improve it you need more visits. You can do it either doing SEO or different kinds of internet marketing.

Hope that this helps,

Hi I have heard that penguin penalizes a site for bad backlinks. Do you think that it is true? Do you think that is possible for someone to penalize my website adding my link to some spam website? I'm worried that someone could do it...

Hi Marie, thanks for your answer and for sharing your case. Anybody else has some similar experience or knows some useful uses for these domains?

I own a domain with just the company name in it (no keywords) that I use as main domain. I also own some other domain with keywords inside that right now I redirect all to the main domain with a 301 redirect. What is the best use for these domains? Should I use them when I do link building or is better to use just the main domain? Can they be useful to increase the main domain link juice/page rank? If yes, how?

Thanks

Hi kyle thanks for the answer, I have tried with this code:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=13$
RewriteRule ^/page.php$ http://www.example.com/newname.htm? [L,R=301]

But it doesn't work. Is it possible that it requires page.php?id=13 to exist? I don't have anymore the file on the server... Trying to reach page.php?id=13 it responds with a 404 error.

Any solutions?

Hi I have a problem setting up my htaccess for a specific page that has a question mark in the link, and one that has a space in the link and also a question mark. So I would like 2 redirects in my htaccess like that:

www.olddomain.com/page.php?page=pagename1

to

www.newdomain.com/newpage1.html

www.olddomain.com/page.php?page=page name2

to

www.newdomain.com/newpage2.html

I have tried with something like this but doesn't work:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^page.php?page=pagename1 "http://www.newdomain.com/newpage1.html" [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^page.php?page=page name2 "http://www.newdomain.com/newpage2.html" [R=301,L]

Could someone tell me what exactly I have to change?

Thanks

Ok thank you very much for the useful answer. I have one more question for you. What about if I want to redirect page by page?

Is something like this going to work?

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$

RewriteRule ^page1.html "http://www.newdomain.com/page1.html" [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^page2.html "http://www.newdomain.com/page2.html" [R=301,L]

This is general information about the topic that I already know. What I need is the exact code to insert in my .htaccess to be sure that I am doing the best redirects for my specific case.

Thanks anyway Matt.
