Welcome to the Q&A Forum

ahh...thank you for your time

I track the website in MOZ tools - that is where the list came from - it is a screen shot.

Perhaps a MOZ staff member can shed some light on the issue?

I could not replicate it either.

Confused ?!?

Hi Bob

Thank you! Can I ask another question?

I have since found that the url https://www.ryanyoungdesign.com.au has been indexed by the Moz bot and has a Moz score of 30. The url https://ryanyoungdesign.com.au has also been indexed and has a score of 28.  The page http://ryanyoungdesign.com.au also has a score of 30. Please refer to attachment

We recently moved the website from one server provider to another - the latest server provider never set up a https for the website. Given the https has its own MOZ ranking does this mean the original server provider set up a https version?

FYI - this was the reply of our new current server host when I pointed out the redirect

'Yes, this is a known issues with Nginx. We are looking at a resolution.There should be no backlinks linking to the SSL version of the site - this would cause an error anyway'

they also stated that ...You don't want to be ranking the https. Not sure why it would be ranked - I would disallow it in your robots.txt if it's an issue.'

if you go to

ryanyoungdesign.com.au

you will see it is different from

https://www.ryanyoungdesign.com.au

If i visit mywebsite.com.au, www.mywebsite.com.au and http://www.mywebsite.com.au - i get one website

BUT if I visit https://www.mywebsite.com.au  I get a different website - I also get a untrusted website warning

The logo in the bottom right of the https: website is the name of the webdesigner  where the website is hosted.

Is this a normal practice?

Hi

gardenbeet.com had the same problem about 4 years ago - do not be alarmed. It just means that the internal page has (probably) higher value links than the home page .

At the time I was advised to look at my site architecture to ensure the link juice gets distributed around the website (at least as evenly as the home page would redirect the juice)  (not sure if that point is still relevant).

thanks everyone ....its not my website

i will use the tag assistant

Google analytics code was removed from a website and then it started tracking a couple of days later to only stop again?

How can that happen?

Has the developer not removed the old code properly?

Can the code be injected remotely?

Thanks Robert. Yep all those accounts are in place. I understand that I can monitor the impacts of the change. But I would like to get an understanding of whether its worth making the change in the first place.

Anyone else redirected an established website (5 years plus with PR 3 +) to another country.

thanks for quick response - the URL will NOT change

the existing site is a .com

Currently I redirect the .co.uk and the .com.au to the .com

The website is targetted to UK via Google's Country Targeting setting

Am rather surprised to hear you have seen no changes! How old were these sites? Did they have much page rank?

Has anyone relocated a website from one country to another?

I want to replace all reference from one country (UK) to another (Australia)

Phone number change, currency change, address will change

Meta/products/content/urls will remain the same

The .com URL will be associated to Australia

Will the website keep its ranking or will it be damaged to the point where another website should be built from scratch?

with hindsight I should have redesigned the blog pages to convert. The potential spend of the lost traffic was not harnessed

I have just watched the overtake of the number one UK position for garden accessories.

The old 1st place holder held it for the last 2.5 years (min) ....taking a look at the back links of the number one holder it seems they are paid links ...as they are little follow image adverts with anchor text posted on the home page of niche blogs, forums and design related website..

....so is this white hat or black hat?

Hey Lara - I had a similar situation whereby I moved a well established blog from wordpress to my main business domain - I have had numerous problems (eg my blog began to outrank my main website for critical search terms). The tags and categories get their own url (at least mine did) which means  you need to optimise each of those tags/categories or you start getting a tonne of warnings from SEOmoz - I have over 200 tags, 6 categories plus around 300 posts - that is a lot of optimising -

I am sure all these points are resolvable but I am just wishing to point out its not that easy if you dont fully understand the implications of what you are doing - I would get help from someone who has done it before-

by the way since moving my blog over I have lost visitors and key search positions on my main website -some of it is now settling but I dont feel out of the woods yet - it has been very bumpy for me

This is a great question and feel that some type of disclaimer or warning should be placed somewhere quite clearly on the QA.

I strongly recommend paying for advice - and make sure the individual has done what you are trying to do.

try elance, peopleperhour, people from various countries will bid to do your work ....you may want to drop the term 3rd world -

would a spend of 500 be better on offsite SEO or social media campaigns via facebook twitter pinterest

my blog category pages began to rank higher for key converting search terms than my main website  - not good - sales dont happen on my blog.

So I stopped the indexing of my category pages....guess what happened?..my website is back to position 1 BUT my blog traffic reduced by half.....so consider EGOL's warning prior to making a decision

Perhaps your success is to do with less competetion in the aussie  market place - I have noticed that websites in australia can get in the top 3 positions with very poor onsite optimisation and few links - of course it varies from industry to industry but I would analyse the backlinks etc of the other aussie websitesfirst -

My blog  sits on the wordpress domain http://gardenbeet.wordpress.com/ - it has good page rank and has around 300-400 visits per day  - should i move it to my website or Should I start a new blog?

i have a page set up for it on my website but it now has good rank http://www.gardenbeet.com/content/design-blog.html - and now want to keep this URL

am a bit confused - what is the best strategy in terms of SEO?

ah thanks 77% similar !!
