Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi!! I'm comparing OSE metrics for a site named like www.mydomain.com and have the following results:

• Subdomain MozTrust 5.65 (that is www.mydomain.com subdomain)

• Root domain MozTrust 0.82 (that is mydomain.com domain)

On the other hand one of my competitor have:

• Subdomain MozTrust 3.68 (that is www.otherdomain.com subdomain)

• Root domain MozTrust 3.67 (that is otherdomain.com domain)

Both websites' root domains point to the www subdomain. So how come in my domain theres is such a huge difference between these metrics and on the competitor's site both values are very similar?

I'd greatly appreciate any comment on this.

Cheers,

David

Thanks Sha and Aran,

Thank's a lot for your explanations on 301 redirects

I see a line of code in the htaccess file (RewriteBase /) that is probably doing the 9 first redirects that I mentioned

To avoid the rest, I just exported the pages and posts, deleted all of them and imported the xml file again. Maybe this fixes it. I understand it's not important but I'd rather have them disappear.

But appart from that, before importing the file I changed the

Hi, I've just created a campaign for my new wordpress blog and found 11 301 redirects which I was not aware of. It looks like wordpress has created them automatically.

Does any one know how wordpress handles this issues or where are they stored so I can delete them? They are of no use for me.

9 of these redirects point to the same url with an added '/' and are in pages

1 is on a post. I've been changing the permalink and some urls several times and maybe one of these times the Wordpress has automatically created the 301 redirect. But why? I do not want to keep the old url.

the last redirect is very strange it goes from http://www.mydomain.com/folder to http://www.mydomain.com where folder is the folder where I installed wordpress. But again, I want no one to type the url with the folder name or even know this folder exists.

Any comment on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

David
