My word press site used to be at morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding

I moved my site from /Wedding to the root domain three years ago where it is currently at www.morganlindsayphotography.com. Top pages in the open site analysis are still finding ONLY my old pages, titles and posts that were in the /Wedding - which are not even on my site anymore.

Hi Ryan, I undated my google sitmap to Google and bing two weeks ago and it still hasn't fixed anything. I re-uploaded today and still nothing. I understand it takes time but I feel like there may be another issue.

I I have a Google +. local page and have updated it weekly for the past 6 months. you can find my profile here https://plus.google.com/+MorganLindsayPhotographyTiffin

after doing some reserch I remembered I used to have used MAMP application configured and pointed to my www.morganlindsayphotography.com site two years ago. This was used to test a php contact form when my website was html: I also found a robot.txt file but no site map in the root folder. I checked the mamp folder and found files that are still coming up in the moz open site explorer In this mamp root folder.

the www.morganlindsayphotography.com/app.html

the www.morganlindsayphotography.com/senior.html

the www.morganlindsayphotography.com/experience.html

....all of the files found on my MAMP root directory for Www.morganlindsayphotography.com were the url's that were named in the folder of the in the mamp application.. Could this be causing the issue? I'm ready to start a new domain and rebuild my site. I'm not sure what to do.

thanks again, Ryan!

I will definitely keep that in mind when choosing who to submit publications too. Thanks again!

I just ran the index status in Google Webmaster tools and found that there are currently no files and hasn't been since July 2014 indexed from my domain name at www.morganlindsayphotography.com -- This is nuts.

Hi Ryan! Thank you so much for your info. After running a few reports the SemRUSH, Ahref and Majectic... It is coming up that my domain http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com is not found. Although, http://morganlindsayphotography.com is. have uploaded my sitemap through google and bing and went into my Godaddy file manager to see if there was any issues there...

I found that there is no sitemap.xml folder found on my root directory in Godaddy and there are two videositemaps.xml one that says video-sitmap.xml and another that says video-sitemap.xml.gz.. Is it a problem that my regular sitemap.xml is not found in my root in my file manager with godaddy? and is it a problem that there are two video-sitemap's? You have been so much help, thank you!

morganlindsaycole

I have updated my website and have new blog posts almost every week, so I'm nervous why there are no new links to crawl! I think there is something definitely wrong. Thank you for time and answering my question!!

yes! I love that the open site explorer allows you to check backlinks... When I found that none of my backlinks were showing up from other websites I know I have been published at, I dug further into the top pages tab linking to my domain and found the only pages it was pulling were old worspress pages and old html files from two years ago. there is no access to those files anywhere on my website And hey have been deleted two years ago.

Thank you for your reply!

Hello!
My problem started when I became aware that when I checked my backlinks for the past two years, it states that no backlinks have been found. When I ran a site analysis on SEMrush - No backlinks are found on the URL, or Domain. There are 7 Backlinks on the Root Domain and those were configured in 2012. I made a second domain www.columbusweddingphotographersreviews.comwhere I linked to my domain at www.morganlindsayphotography.com so I could test that google had crawled both websites and after, still no backlink was found. I have also been published on a dozen or so wedding websites that has linked to my website where they are follow links and still nothing. (http://www.brendasweddingblog.com/blogs/2015/2/23/an-elegant-fall-wedding-in-ohio-with-morgan-lindsay-photography)

**Website Background- **
In 2012 I had two separate websites - One for Seniors that was an HTML website I build in Dreamweaver at www.morganlindsayphotography/seniors and another for Wedding Clients found at www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding - (wordpress) I had a Splash page wish was found atwww.morganlindsayphotography.com. Two years ago when I became aware splash pages were frowned upon in Google, I combined the two websites and stayed with the Wordpress which was www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding
Because I did not want users to have to go to www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding to view my url, Godaddy moved my wordpress site from thewww.morganlindsyphotography.com/Wedding directory towww.morganlindsayphotography.com

When I ran the Open Site Explorer with Moz I found after runningwww.morganlindsayphotography.com the TOP pages on this domain according to Page Authority are old HTML files from my senior website, as well as old Posts from when my wordpress site was found atwww.moragnlindsayphotography.com/Weddings
No current pots or pages are showing up besideswww.morganlindsyphotography.com I do run a cache management system to speed up my system and recently cleaned out my .htcacess folder and still had no luck. This is difficulty something

**Last night I made a 301 Redirect in my htaccess for all the old links pointing to the new links as best as I could. My htacess folder looks like this..
