Welcome to the Q&A Forum

thank you very much Matt!

Thank you Kevin,

I did go through the whole discussion but it is disappointing to find that this issue has not been solved yet....

so test crawling my https site is currently impossible with your tools...

hey Peter!

sto molto bene grazie!

grazie moltissime for your answer.

1. yes I already set  preferred domain in SearchConsole

2. I did not set canonical pages to new domain BUT i 301 redirected all traffic for www to non-www. isn't that enough?

3. yes I changed wordpress so that default is now non-www

4. I am gradually changing all the links to the internal pages as well as all assets to non-www (but it's huge since I am doing manually.

Anyway since I 'told' google that my site is now non-www  (submitting new site maps, setting up 301s and the configurations above) I really can't understand why google still indexes the old non-www.

Any hint?

Thank you again

hallo,

I moved from www.bastabollette.it to bastabollette.it, setting a 301 redirect.

If I check google search console,  I still get impressions and looks like all old www pages are stille indexed. (see attached)

why? how can I fix this?

thank you

but...

wait a minute. this Moz posts suggests keeping you links absolute is "a priority" , from a seo perspective.

under point 2):

https://moz.com/blog/relative-vs-absolute-urls-whiteboard-friday

same problem for me.

I am working with https and cloudflare.

what if I disable cloudflare just for the crawl test? would it work? how could I disable it temporarily?

thank you

Hallo

When I launch the crawl report I get csv file with this error :

804 : HTTPS (SSL) error encountered when requesting page.
Error attempting to request page; see title for details.

Website is https://bastabollette.it

Thank you very much /Dmitrii.

Can I change them to relative?

How should I do?

I recently upgraded to https.

Of course most internal links of my old posts are still http.

So I set up a 301 redirect in order to make the old link works.

In terms od SEO this is good or it is better to update all the internal links to https, manually?

In that case can I do it in batch with a search/replace command in the phmyadmin database?

any other suggested method?

thank you

Thank you Peter and Chris for your help, and I will definetly look into the links you gave me.

I need some further clarificattion, though.

How low is my MozTRust and MozRank? How can I know what should be the right score, for my website?

Getting a technical audit: how do you suggest to proceed? there is a ckecklist I could go through  or should I look after some expert advice?

thank  you again

hallo,

reading my spam analysis report from open explorer, I found somenthing I don't understand (please see attached image):

The long list of links inside the red rectangle are inbound links with a spam score of 5 coming from my same site.

How is that possible? Should I remove those links?

Also , I see that many of those links are links present in the top navigation bar (about page, home page, service description etc.) or in the sidebar section of the website (categories, recent posts, recent comments).

Should I treat them differently?

Thank you for your time.

In my journey of learning which links are good or bad for my website I found the series pointed out in the attached image and pasted below:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-implementing-google-pagespeed-suggestions

where I posted a forum comment just like this one on the wordpress forum asking for advice.

Apparently this links is mildly spammy (spam score of 1).

What should I do with such links? Remove them?

Hallo,

Spam analysis is suggesting that my website may have a spam problem (score is 5).

When I analyse the single spam links, I am puzzled.

1. the links to my site are actually links in disqus comments I wrote myself on the linking site, in order to aswer REAL question of real people giving them honest and useful answers (and linking my site :-), like the link pointed out in the attached image, also pasted herebelow:

http://www.androidiani.com/news/servizi-premium-indesiderati-lantitrust-contro-tim-vodafone-wind-e-3-213235

Most links have this same nature.

Has this behaviour (which I consider natural, in good faith) been regarded as spammy?

Should avoid linking my site in the comments I write on external sites?

2. the links from comunicatistampagratis.it  (towards the end of the list) are from a free press release website: you send them the press release, they publish it.

Should I avoid using this free press release site? Should I avoid using any free press release site at all (since they are regarded as spammy)?

3. is there a rule to learn (since apparently I have not been very good so far at using my good faith to separate good links from spammy links) whether a link can be spammy and therefore try and avoid it?

thank you for you help.

Thank you Marie for your honest and complete answer.

One question: how can I check bing traffic in google analytics? I looked for it on google but (how funny) could not find the answer.

hallo everyone,

I am posting this question to the MOZ community, because I could not find any useful information or proper advice so far, even after consulting a few local SEO experts.

I noticed from the end of september a steady and consistent decrease in visits (please see attached pdf) for my website  https://bastabollette.it

I lost so far almost 40%.

Please consider that I have not changed my habits in blog posting lately, both in quantity and quality. I have not made any subtantial change on the website lately.

I did a general audit of the site asking to an expert but apart from some generic suggestions (like: "work on increasing PR, add more quality backliks, use more no-follow links, fix broken links" - things I am currently going to fix anyway) I don't really understand the reason of the drop.

Please also note the strange drop of 11/22/15 (see search console screenshot).

Can you please help me?

thank you.
