Transitioning to HTTPS, Do i have to submit another disavow file?
-
Hi Mozzers!
So we're finally ready to move from http to https. Penguin is finally showing us some love due to the recent algorithm updates. I just added the https to Google search console and before 301 redirecting the whole site to a secure environment.....do i upload the same disavow file to the https version?
Moreover, is it best to have both the http and https versions on Google Search console? Or should I add the disavow file to the https version and delete the http version in a month?
And what about Bing?
Help.

If Bing will allow you to do it then yes. I can't add "other" version for my websites so probably Bing covers "all".
-
What about for Bing? Do i create 4 variations?
-
so ok, just for disavows.
-
yes.
-
Just for adding disavow. Because you have redirects set well right?
-
Krzysztof,
Does that mean I have to add sitemaps to all 4 versions as well? Including data highlighter schema? Or the purpose of these 4 it to redundant disavow files?
Thank you

Hi Shawn
Yes. Make sure you have all properties in your Google Search Console: www.domain.com, domain.com, https://domain.com, https://www.domain.com even if you have redirects. If you don't, create them, verify, and upload disavow file to all 4 "versions". If you got some subdomains, do the same for them too.
Don't delete. Add to all 4.

How can we stop Google analytics pulling in data from another site?
We have a few accounts under one Google login. They all have separate Google analytics codes but one of the sites is somehow pulling in some data from another site but the other site has not got the same analytics code on it. Not sure how this is happening and what we can do about this, is it a bug in the Google Analytics system? Any help would be appreciated.

Webmaster Tools V. OSE Backlinks to Disavow
Hey Everybody, So I am getting to the point where I need to disavow some backlinks. I am noticing a discrepancy between the OSE backlinks and the GWMT backlinks. My question is do I put both sets of links in the Disavow tool? Just the links from GWMT? Just the links from OSE? Etc... Etc... Thanks Everybody!

Webmaster Tools, why does it show 486 pages submitted to web, and only 40 indexed?
I am confused on what a client account shows in WMTs, client account is http://multiview.com. They have a graph showing 486 pages submitted to web, but only 40 are indexed. Also, they recently re-launched, i.e in April 2014, and the new site has about 40 pages indexed.... so I am guessing that the 486 number relates to all the pages that are showing errors in retrieving...i.e. 28 soft 404 errors, 10 access denied errors, 808 not found errors. Does this make sense to explain why there is such a gap between 486 and 40?

Google Links Disavow - Does that preclude new links from a domain?
If using Google disavow links tool and you disavow links from a 'domain' does that mean that any 'future or new links' from that domain will be blocked? Answer Yes is good if the domain is spammy but bad if the domain was submitted in error ........ Answer NO is good if the domain was submitted in error but bad if the site is spammy. Does anyone have an answer to this please? Also is there a disavow 'undo' request process available? cheers, Mike
