One of my Friend's website Domain Authority is Reducing? What could be the reason?
-
Hello Guys,
One of my friend's website domain authority is decreasing since they have moved their domain from HTTP to https.
There is another problem that his blog is on subfolder with HTTP.
So, can you guys please tell me how to fix this issue and also it's losing some of the rankings like 2-5 positions down.Here is website URL: myfitfuel.in/
here is the blog URL: myfitfuel.in/mffblog/ -

Redirecting all traffic to the www SSL domain
You can force all of your traffic to go to the
www
domain, and to use SSL, even if they did not request it initially.ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all traffic to the bare SSL domain
With dedicated load balancers or who have purchased a slot on the UCC certificate on shared load balancers have the option of redirecting all traffic to the bare domain using the HTTPS protocol:
# Redirecting http://www.domain.com and https://www.domain.com to https://domain.com RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Redirecting http://domain.com to https://domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]An example of how the requests work
The preceding examples of how and when you would use a rewrite are complex; here's a breakdown of the scenarios, which may help you determine what your website really needs.
A security warning will occur on a bare domain only if the request specifically includes the https protocol, like https://mysite.com, and there's no SSL certificate on the load balancer that covers the bare domain. A request for
http://mysite.com
using the http protocol, however, will not produce a security warning because a secure connection to the bare domain has not been requested.| Domain | DNS record type | IP/Hostname |
| www.mysite.com | CNAME | dc-2459-906772057.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com |
| mysite.com | A | 123.45.67.89 |For AWS ELB,
www.mysite.com
has a CNAME record that points to the hostname of the elastic load balancer (ELB), because that's where the SSL certificate is installed when it's uploaded using the self-service UI. But, bare domains/non-FQDNs like mysite.com can't have CNAME records without something like Route 53, so it must point to the elastic IP address of the balancer pair behind the ELB.If there's a redirect in the
.htaccess
file that will take all requests for the bare domain and redirect them towww
, due to how the DNS records are set up, this is what happens if you requesthttp://example.com
:- The request for
http://mysite.com
hits the load balancers behind the ELB. - The
.htaccess
rule 301 redirects request tohttps://www.mysite.com
. - A new request for
https://www.mysite.com
hits the ELB where the certificate lives and everything is happy, secure, and green.
But, if a specific request is sent to
https://mysite.com
with the https protocol, here's what happens:- A request for
https://mysite.com
hits the load balancers behind the ELB. - Your browser displays the normal security warning.
- You examine the certificate and decide to move ahead.
- The .
htaccess
rule 301 redirects request tohttps://www.mysite.com
. - A new request for
https://www.mysite.com
hits the ELB where the cert lives and everything is happy, secure, and green.
Redirecting all HTTP traffic to HTTPS
In the following example, the server variable
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO
is set tohttps
if you're accessing the website using HTTPS, the following code will work with yourRedirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all HTTPS traffic to HTTP
In addition, if visitors to a customer's website are receiving insecure content warnings due to Google indexing documents using the HTTPS protocol, traffic may need to be redirected from HTTPS to HTTP.
The rule is basically the same as the preceding example, but without the first
Rewrite
condition. If no SSL certificate is installed, the value of%{HTTPS}
is always set tooff
, even when you are accessing the website using HTTPS. Use the following rule set in this case:Redirect HTTPS to HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting from a bare domain to the www subdomain
SSL certificates can not cover the bare domain for websites unless you are using Route 53 or some other similar provider. This is because the SSL certificates for Acquia Cloud Professional websites are placed on an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). While ELBs require CNAME records for domain name resolution, bare domains require an IP address in an A-record for the domain name (DNS) configuration and cannot have CNAME records. Therefore, it's not possible to terminate traffic to bare domains on the ELB where your SSL certificate is located without Route 53.
Even if all requests for the bare domain are redirected to
www
, visitors to ELB websites that explicitly request the bare domain using the HTTPS protocol, likehttps://mysite.com
, will always receive a security warning in their browser before being redirected tohttps://www.mysite.com
. For a more detailed explanation of why this happens, refer to the An example of how the requests work section.Redirect http://domain.com to http://www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all traffic to the www SSL domain You want this!
You can force all of your traffic to go to the
www
domain, and to use SSL, even if they did not request it initially.ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting all traffic to the bare SSL domain
AWS dedicated load balancers or who have purchased a slot on the UCC certificate on our shared load balancers have the option of redirecting all traffic to the bare domain using the HTTPS protocol:
Redirecting http://www.domain.com and https://www.domain.com to https://domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]Redirecting http://domain.com to https://domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]As an example, if you wanted to ensure that all the domains were redirected to
https://www.
except for Acquia domains acquia-sites.com, you would use something like this:ensure www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !prod.acquia-sites.com [NC] # exclude Acquia domains
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]ensure https
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]elb 2.2.15 | intermediate profile | OpenSSL 1.0.1e | link

May I ask did your friend modify any of the site structure aside from adding HTTPS?
make sure you have followed all the steps in this list by Google link to your and the list below. There are more resources
if needed. Read what Google's John Mueller has to say on the subject of redirects.

** tools you can use**
- https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/log-file-analyser/
- https://www.deepcrawl.com
- https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/
** a very important checklist make sure you do this one below.**
SEO checklist to preserve your rankings
-
Make sure every element of your website uses HTTPS, including widgets, java script, CSS files, images and your content delivery network.
-
Use 301 redirects to point all HTTP URLs to HTTPS. This is a no-brainer to most SEOs, but you'd be surprised how often a 302 (temporary) redirect finds its way to the homepage by accident
-
Make sure all canonical tags point to the HTTPS version of the URL.
-
Use relative URLs whenever possible.
-
Rewrite hard-coded internal links (as many as is possible) to point to HTTPS. This is superior to pointing to the HTTP version and relying on 301 redirects.
-
Register the HTTPS version in both Google and Bing Webmaster Tools.
-
Use the Fetch and Render function in Webmaster Tools to ensure Google can properly crawl and render your site.
-
Update your sitemaps to reflect the new URLs. Submit the new sitemaps to Webmaster Tools. Leave your old (HTTP) sitemaps in place for 30 days so search engines can crawl and "process" your 301 redirects.
-
Update your robots.txt file. Add your new sitemaps to the file. Make sure your robots.txt doesn't block any important pages.
-
If necessary, update your analytics tracking code. Most modern Google Analytics tracking snippets already handle HTTPS, but older code may need a second look.
-
Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). This response header tells user agents to only access HTTPS pages even when directed to an HTTP page. This eliminates redirects, speeds up response time, and provides extra security.
-
If you have a disavow file, be sure to transfer over any disavowed URLs into a duplicate file in your new Webmaster Tools profile.
-
NGINX
Add the following to your Nginx config.
server { listen 80; server_name domain.com www.domain.com; return 301 https://domain.com$request_uri; }
Apache
Add the following to your
.htaccess
file.RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

** Here are some more extremely helpful resources**

https://www.seroundtable.com/google-seo-http-to-https-migration-checklist-19268.html
It is not abnormal for a site to see a dip in rankings or search visibility after migration or a change of structure. I have a very regimented list that I stick to and have not seen anything dip for more than three days, but all sites are unique, and Google indexes all sites differently.
Depending on your domain authority you may or may not have a higher crawl budget based on whether or not you tell Google you are making these changes will make an enormous difference in whether or not your site recovers quickly or sees a dip in traffic.
I hope this is helpful and remember Google has to reindex everything.

It makes no sense that you would have your blog on a subfolder that was non-encrypted why did you choose to do this? I like the site to be 100% encrypted?
Read the second post first please
http://www.myfitfuel.in/mffblog/ should be https://www.myfitfuel.in/mffblog/
why not https?
if your hosting provider does not allow you to use HTTP/2 I suggest adding a WAF four as little as $20 a month you can run your site on HTTP/2
Now the cost of Akamai might scare people just from hearing the name, but I can assure you there are very good pricing options now that companies are competing against them in the same area. One thing in my opinion that no other CDN Waf company has is the amount of points of presence or pops/ Akamai exceeds over 250

https://www.cloudflare.com/http2/
https://www.incapsula.com/cdn-guide/cdn-and-ssl-tls.html
when you switch your entire site over to https, then you can use the Google change of address tool and migrate your site to HTTPS
This should be encrypted you don't need a next or certificate you want to encrypt the entire site ideally. Add it to Google Webmaster Tools four times

After you change the architecture of any website it normally takes a little bit of a dive. John Mu stated Google would not be punishing people to redirect to encrypted sites so while that might be true it doesn't mean Google has figured out what is going on yet.
I think you need to get Google crawling your site and have it in Webmaster tools with all of the pages redirected to https including adding things like HSTS and HTTP/2 to speed up your site.
Hope this helps,
Tom

OK to have multiple local business structured data on one website?
Hello there, I'm working on implementing local business structured data for a website but we have multiple offices. Is it okay from a Google perspective to add different local business data on different pages of the website, or can I only use one set of local business data site wide? Many thanks, Gill.

Last september he hired a company to do a redesign of his website....They needed to create a copy of the site on a different subdomain on another root domain... so I told them to block that content in order to not affect my production site, cause it was going to be an exact replica of the content but different design.... The developmet team did it wrong and blocked the production site (using robots.txt), so my site lost all it's organica traffic, which was 85-90% of the total traffic and now only get a couple of hundreds visits a month... First I thought we had been somehow penalized, however when I the other site recieving new traffic and being indexed i realized so I switched the robots.txt and created 301 redirect from the subdomain to the production site. After resending sitemaps, links to google+ and many things I can't get google to reindex my site.... when i do a site:domain.com search in google I only get 3 results. Its been now almost 2 month and honestly dont know what to do.... Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Dan

Sub Domain or New Domain?
Hi All, We have a client that has a business with three different services. 2 of these services compliment each other in a really obvious way, but the 3rd, while related is not such a obvious complimentary service. For this reason, service 3 kind of weakens the content of the website SEO wise for the two main services. Also, internally at the business it is run by an entirely different team so it feels culturally somewhat different. So, the client wants to pull all the content about service 3 and put it on a different website. Which would you chose as a domain for this new site: service3.existingdomain.co.uk or www.service3+brandname.co.uk

Author Tag - How do you get your Author Thumbnail on more then one site?
Ive managed to set up the Rel:Author tag on my wordpress site, and the thumbnail is now showing in Google search results Each article I write on my blog has a link to me Author page, which has on it a link to my Google Plus page. So this works great. However I write articles for another few websites and would like to get my author thumbnail image showing for them articles too. How do I do this? Do I need an Author page on the other sites also? I dont think I'll be able to get an author page on the other sites, is it not possible to somehow link direct from the article to my G+ page? How would guest articles work too? Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys

How long does it take before URL's are removed from Google?
Hello, I recently changed our websites url structures removing the .html at the end. I had about 55 301's setup from the old url to the new. Within a day all the new URL's were listed in Google, but the old .html ones still have not been removed a week later. Is there something I am missing? Or will it just take time for them to get de-indexed? As well, so far the Page Authority hasn't transfered from the old pages to the new, is this typical? Thanks!

OOPS!! My website links the most to me, I can't get it??
Today, I have checked Google webmaster tools to get answer of following question. Who links the most to my website? I was assumed that Google webmaster tools provide me list of external website where I have created my text links. But, I can't get it when see my own website links the most to me. (4652??) I checked my other websites which are integrated in Google webmaster tools. They also developed on same platform as well as same internal linking structure. But, I am not able to find out similar issue over there. That's why I am quite confuse with Vista Store. How can I solve it? Does it really matter? "Open Site Explorer is my favorite one and always using that to get it done. But, Google webmaster tools is also active & free so why should I not jump in to... 🙂 "

How can I change my website's content on specific pages without affecting ranking for specific keywords?
My client's website (www.nursevillage.com) content has not been touched for 4 years and we are currently ranking #1 for "per diem nursing". They do not want to make any changes to the site in fear that it might decrease our rankings. We want to try to use utilize that keyword ranking on specific pages (www.nursevillage.com/nv/content/careeroptions/perdiem.jsp ) ranking for "per diem nursing" and try redirecting traffic or placing some banners and links on that page to specific pages or other sites related to "per diem nursing" jobs so we can get nurses to apply to our new nursing jobs. Any advice on why "per diem nursing" is ranking so high for us and what we can change on the site without messing up our ranking would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Domain Authority / Page Authority
I manage a site that has home page authority of 69, and overall domain authority of 63. To improve domain authority, would it help to remove some of the pages that have 0 page authority? There are over 1,000 pages to this site, and I always thought that the more pages you have, the better (generally). But, does it actually hurt the site to have pages that Google perceives as having 0 page authority, or does this have no bearing? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
