Hi Sha Menz,

Exactly this is what I was thinking and looking to hear! Really happy to find this information. Now I can move forward, because I was doubtful whether I was right or not. thanks so much!

Hi, thans so much! To understand it you should know a little more. Last year we removed my site's old html pages to .aspx pages and there after removing, all the html pages were added to robot.txt. But that time nobody taken care of backlink juice and for a redirection.

I never used MajesticSEO or Google/Bing's link: search operator. But use web analytics referral data. What more I must do to move forward?

Thanks.

hi, this is not an error in copying or as you think. I have mentioned it, i need to find inbound links of pages that doesn't exist. In fact those pages are blocked using robot.txt. so no detail avail on google webmaster except robot.txt.

Hi,

Is there any alternatives to Yahoo Site Explorer?

I want to find backlinks of some unavailable pages and YSE was a great tool to deal with. But when I used tools like Open Site Explorer, ahrefs.com etc., I couldn't find one same like YSE. Because when I tried, it shows'No data available for this URL' where on YSE I found inbound links.

What Alternatives Are There?

thanks in advance!

Hi Stefano,

Thanks so much for your informative answer. Yehh, there are duplicate title issues too and I am working on it. But is that enough? As you said the titles of referrer pages are similar and footer links and sidebar links are similar in these pages.

thanks

Hi,

What is the criteria on Seomoz Crawl Diagnostic Report? I got a long list of URLs indicating  Content that is identical (or nearly identical) to content on other pages of your site forces your pages to unnecessarily compete with each other for rankings. But as I gone through none of the reported pages duplicate. What should I do?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Nick,

Thanks so much!

Is there any advantage for shorter URLs over long ones? My site is on IIS6, How can I remove the .aspx extension in IIS6?

Hi,

I have to block unwanted urls (not that page) from being indexed on google. I have to block urls like example.com/entertainment not the exact page example.com/entertainment.aspx . Is there any other ways other than robot.txt? If i add this to robot.txt will that block my other url too? Or should I make a 301 redirection from example.com/entertainment to example.com/entertainment.aspx. Because some of the unwanted urls are linked from other sites.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks so much Zachary. In fact I am purely from linux background. This is the first time I am dealing with IIS. let me check albiet short and IIS Manager.

Apart from web config file, I read about global.asax file. I think these files are are used for redirecting a whole site, right?. But in my case I need to redirect some of my old html pages to aspx pages.

best!

Hi,

I want to know how to create a server side 301 redirection on IIS7.

I found on google the below details;

IIS Redirect

• In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect
• Select the radio titled "a redirection to a URL".
• Enter the redirection page
• Check "The exact url entered above" and the "A permanent redirection for this resource"
• Click on 'Apply'

But couldn't find anything like that. Can anyone help me out.

thanks & regards

Anyway I am lucky being with a group of average team mates.

Hi,

Thanks. As you said i was checking server side redirection. My site server is II7. I tried to make a server side rediretion but couldn't. I found a java script redirection and created a redirection.  See the page; http://www.infoniagara.com/d-bed-roses.html

I think this too is not a correct redirection, is it?

thanks

Ohh thanks so much Ryan. Let me learn the server side redirection and other aspects related to it.

Thanks once again for your consideration and time. I hope I can approach you in future too.

best regards

hi,

It's really helpful and now I understand it.

I know that you are one of the true masters of SEO and I think you can clarify one more doubt. It is also regarding the issue of redirection. I want to know that a script i use for  redirectining old pages to newpages is right or not?

This script is working properly and I want to know that what type of redirection is this and is it a proper redirection to get the backlink juice? (I add this script to the body just after the

header.)

thanks in advance

hi dear Ryan,

thanks so much for your time and valuable suggestions. As you said, i am aware of this problem and therefore i added a canonical url to the homepage. should i make a 301 from non-www to www url? should i do it for each page?

thanks & regards

I have multiple websites with same content such as

http://www.example.com

http://www.example.org and so on.  My primary url is http://www.infoniagara.com and I also placed a 301 on .org.

Is that enough to keep away my exampl.org site from indexing on google and other search engines?

the eaxmple.org also has lots of link to my old html pages (now removed). Should i change that links too? or will 301 redirection solve all such issues (page not found/crawl error) of my old webpages?

i would welcome good seo practices regarding maintaining multiple domains

thanks and regards

sir,

I am working with IIS 6 site and i ant to redirect three different urls of a domain to one url, i.e, there are the different versions of the same url...so how can i create one? I have found a script on google. but it says redirecting one url. see it here:

Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e as EventArgs)

Try
	Dim requestedDomain As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString().toLower()

	If InStr(requestedDomain, "http://yoursite.com") Then

		requestedDomain = requestedDomain.Replace("http://yoursite.com", "http://www.yoursite.com")

		Response.Clear()
		Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
		Response.AddHeader("Location", requestedDomain)
		Response.End()

	End If

Catch ex As Exception
	Response.Write("Error in Global.asax :" & ex.Message)
End Try

End Sub
