Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Anyone? lol

2 sites have the same urls but the owner wants just the 1 site. So I will be doing a 301 redirect with .htaccess from

https://www.example.co.uk/sportsbook/SOCCER/today/

redirecting to

https://www.example.com//sportsbook/SOCCER/today/

There are a lot of urls that are the same, so I was wondering what the rule is to put in the file please that will change them all to the corresponding urls?

Would this be correct?...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^example.co.uk [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} ^www.example.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com$1 [L,R=301,NC]

Or would a simple rule like this work... redirect 301 / http://www.new domain.com/

If not correct could you please give me the correct rule, thanks!

Then of course doing a change of address of address in webmaster tools after.

Also... do I still need to do the forwarding from the https://www.example.co.uk/ domain provider after as well?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Excellent, thanks again Miriam! It's a weird one lol

Hi Miriam,

Thanks very much for your response. the site in question is jonnyjordan. com for the keyword "web design belfast".

Best regards!

Hi Rob,

Thanks very much for that, the site in question is jonnyjordan. com if you care to have a look.

Best Regards!

Description is the same as the question.

Hi, we will be moving a clients’ site address from one domain to another and will of course be doing 301 redirects and notifying Google of the site address change in WMT.

The problem is, that at some point in the future (say 3-6 months), the old domain will be going live with a new site as the current client does not own the domain and the owner will be wanting it back unfortunately.

How will this affect the rankings and traffic of the new site (new domain) once this (old domain with new site) happens? Will the site address change be enough to keep the rankings but it will lose backlink traffic? Or will rankings go down since the 301 redirects will in essence no longer be in affect?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

The Moz Local team have been made aware of the the issue and are working to resolve this issue.

Hi,

Whenever I done a lookup for a client we were hoping to get on Moz Local, the listing that appeared has a repeating street address.

For Example:

123 Some Street, 123 Some Street, Some City, Some ZIP Code

I have checked Google Plus / Google My Business and no such repetition is there, however, under the Incomplete section it's showing Google as the one that's incorrect, but when I click through to Google the address is correct - see attached images...

I have gone through all the other listings and they are correct from what I can see through the Moz Report.

Also, this is happening with more than one address that I have checked - see attached images.

If anyone has any input on the matter it would be greatly appreciated. I have posted this before and got no definitive answer, it then hit page two and we all know what happens when it does that.

Hi David,

Thanks for your response.

I have gone through them all, the other listings are correct from what I can see through the Moz Report.

Also, this is happening with more than one address that I have checked - see attached images.

Under the Incomplete section it's showing Google as the one that's incorrect, however, when I click through to Google the address is correct - again, see attached images.

Any other suggestions let me know

We are building a new site which is a .com site and the client would like to be found in both Google.co.uk and Goolge.ie. What is the best practice to go about this? Can you geo-target two countries with the one site?

Thanks very much for the link!!

Thanks very much Kristina. I will look into that.

Hi Travis,

Thanks for the reply. It actually isn't that site lol. It's ranking well at the moment on both mobile and normal search. But I will look into those factors you have mentioned, so thanks again for that.

It is actually a clients site. Until very recently it was showing on mobile and desktop in 3rd position on page 1. But  has disappeared in mobile for some reason. Nothing has been done to the site to cause it. Any ideas why it would suddenly happen?

For a long time my website has appeared in both desktop and mobile search in Google. Yet recently it has stopped appearing in mobile yet still on desktop. Any ideas why this is happening and how to rectify it please? Many Thanks.

Hi, I have a client that would like to rank in google.ie as well as .co.uk and in the middle east and possibly other parts of Europe. What is the best way to go about this? Would a new domain for each country be best and hosted in that specific country or is there a way to do this with one site? Bearing in mind that SEO will need to be done to rank in each country. Many Thanks.

I have a video that is number 1 in the video search terms that is very well optimised and quality backlinked. Yet it does not rank in the organic results. Anyone any idea why, or what to do to achieve this? Many thanks in advance

Great, thanks! I'll look into those now.

Since the change in Google's keyword tool I have found it frustrating to use in finding new keywords. Which keyword tool would you recommend? Many thanks.

Okay, thanks very much!

Thanks for the response. I understand that and have already done so.

What my question is, is in my google+ profile once the rel=author is established on the post... which url to place in the "contributor to" section. Both the main domain url and the post page url will show my picture. But which is best to use?

Which is the best practice for the link to claim authorship for a guest post?

I have tried both the main domain URL in the "contributor to" section of my Google plus and the page URL where the post is and both show my picture when testing in the Structured Data Testing Tool.

Which is best to use?

Thanks in advance.
