Hello,
After 2 months of starting a new service with a new domain name and a rather flat curve, I decided to invest in auditing tools. To my surprise, when analyzing links with 'Link Explorer', I got the following warning : "You entered the URL crapahute.com which redirects to www.krapahute.com. Click here to analyze www.krapahute.com instead."...
So I understand I bought a domain name that was previously in use, 8 years ago. And logically, when they moved from crapahute.com to krapahute.com, the former site owners set a (probably 401) redirect between their former name and their new one.
Probably that in the last 8 years they dropped crapahute.com since I was able to buy the domain name last year.
I can't understand the warning I'm receiving. since I thought this redirect would become inactive when they dropped the domain name. On the contrary, if I analyze the backlinks to krapahute.com I can indeed see :
crapahute.com [no anchor text] 3 2 0 --
redirect
More Info
Date first seen - Date lost - Link target
2016-09-05 - N/A - www.krapahute.com
So my question is : where is this warning coming from ? I performed some nslookup and dig on my domain and their's just to find out that every thing seems to look normal. Meanwhile, if I type "crapahute" in Google (and most other search engines), my site arrives in 12th page (!), and if I type "crapahute.com", the site "krapahute.com" appears first.
Thank you for those reading up to that point ! Any hint on what could cause this ? Should I change of domain name ?
Thank you !
