@southernstabr said in How to check the Domain Age?:

You can utilize a number of "domain age checker" or "domain age lookup" tools available online, such as Prestige Southern Star, to determine the domain age of a website. The tool will show the domain's first registration date when the website's URL is entered. You may evaluate a website's legitimacy and lifespan using this information.

Thanks for sharing! It's definitely useful to check domain age when assessing a website's trustworthiness or longevity. Just to add, while tools like Prestige Southern Star can provide the registration date, it's also worth considering additional factors, such as the history of the domain (whether it’s been dropped and re-registered) or how long the site has been consistently active with content. Combining domain age with other checks, like website traffic and reputation, can give a more complete picture of a site's credibility.

if you want to reduce spamscore of you website you need to do audit of you site firs check the the spam score by using moz domain analysis then check the spam backlink put the spam backlink in the google disawove

@davidvogel said in Best redirect destination for 18k highly-linked pages:

Technical SEO question regarding redirects; I appreciate any insights on best way to handle.

Situation: We're decommissioning several major content sections on a website, comprising ~18k webpages. This is a well established site (10+ years) and many of the pages within these sections have high-quality inbound links from .orgs and .edus.

Challenge: We're trying to determine the best place to redirect these 18k pages.

For user experience, we believe best option is the homepage, which has a statement about the changes to the site and links to the most important remaining sections of the site. It's also the most important page on site, so the bolster of 301 redirected links doesn't seem bad.

However, someone on our team is concerned that that many new redirected pages and links going to our homepage will trigger a negative SEO flag for the homepage, and recommends instead that they all go to our custom 404 page (which also includes links to important remaining sections).

What's the right approach here to preserve remaining SEO value of these soon-to-be-redirected pages without triggering Google penalties?

If you have 18k highly-linked pages, it’s best to 301 redirect them to the most relevant, high-quality destination on your site. Ideally, these pages should point to content that’s closely related to the original topics. If no specific match exists, redirecting them to a broader category page or a useful, high-authority page (like your homepage) is an option. Just avoid sending everything to the homepage if possible, as that can dilute relevance signals. Good luck

Auditing a site in a foreign language can be difficult. For my site, I need to check more options to determine the right status. My primary keyword is izrada sajtova and that is not a word that is easy to follow. One of the best tactics is to watch the competition that has already succeeded.

Auditing a website in a foreign language can be challenging. For my site, I need to explore additional options to accurately assess its status. My main keyword falls within the gaming category, which isn’t always straightforward to track. One of the most effective strategies is to study the competition that has already found success.
