Expired domain 301 Redirection Strategy of Competitors
-
I have one simple question about expired domain redirection strategy.
I am 100% sure that one of my competitors are using this strategy to rank the website.
Is there any tool or method to find out how many domains competitor has redirected to his/her website?
Your answer is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi gfdd420,
Yes Gaston already mentioned the best tools for backlinks analise.
Using this tactic of redirecting expired domains, i can see this working for healthy and relevant domains for your website. So if they wouldn´t be domains with legacy spam issues / penalties and their topic is highly connected to the topic of your website i wouldn´t expect Google to penalize this as this is not much different from you buying a competitor and redirecting its website to your own.
Hope this helps

Hello there!
Yeap there are tools to find that domains being redirected to another, the same tools that analyze backlinks profiles: Moz OSE, Ahrefs SiteExplorer and Magestic are the most popular and the most reliable.
Also, keep in mind that this tactic you are referring is not recommended. It is likely to be penalized.
Hope I've helped.
Best luck.
GR.

E-commerce with domain and subdomain for products
Hi, I have two pages: (main) page with a lot of traffic e.g. www.bags.com/yellow-bag-hp, and I have second subdomain e.g. www.shop.bags.com/yellow-bag-hp . This two domain has different CMS systems. Sites from main page have higher DA and PA and I can’t delete it, and I also can’t delete sites from a subdomain (shop) because this other CMS for eCommerce. What do you recommend for resolve this situation. Maybe create new URL: www.bags.com/shop and put on it all products, e.g.: www.bags.com/shop/yellow-bag-hp, and redirect all old pages to this one, or something else?

Is It Possible to have Cross Domain Tracking on Two Different Accounts?
Good afternoon to all, I have this kind of dilemma regarding setting up tracking code on two different accounts, namely bioglass.com with GA Code UA-12345678-1 where all the product information has been listed and shopbioglass.com with GA Code UA-87654321-1 where the prices are located and transaction takes place. Both of them are connected since if you click the buy button on bioglass.com for a specific product, it will automatically redirect to shopbioglass.com where the prices and transactions comes into place. Dilemma: I want to check how many conversion took place from bioglass.com to shopbioglass.com. I know they have different GA Code but is it possible for me to have a cross domain tracking for this?? What are the possible remedies if not? Thanks to all 🙂

Why is my Domain Authority dropping from 52 to 46 but my Keyword ranking has never been higher?
At the start of August my Domain Authority was 52 but it has fallen to 46 over the course of 8 weeks. At first this was credited to the smaller index that SEOMOZ has taken and when this was certainly in line with our rivals results as well who all suffered a drop. When the index issue was fixed we did see an improvement, back up to 51 at the start of September, pretty much in line with all of our rivals. However our Domain Authority has dropped again and this time it is in complete isolation, none of our rivals have suffered anything like a 3 point drop. Our SEO has never been better with 65% of our keywords ranking in the top 3 and 86% ranking in the top 10. Im wondering what is causing this rapid drop in Domain Authority and what affect, if any, it was have on our future keyword rankings. Thanks, Emmet
