Complete redesign of website and 301 redirects
-
I did a complete redesign and content change for my website.
I have my new webpages indexed but they still haven't replaced the old ones after 1 month. In search results I see both the old ones and the news ones.
How long of a delay should I expect (approximately) for the old pages to be replaced by the new ones knowing the entire website was changed.
Thank you,
-
Not I didn't leave the old sitemap.
-
Did you leave the old sitemaps (xml and html) up until Google got all your new pages indexed?
My understanding (could be wrong) is that leaving the old sitemaps provides a simple way for Google to keep seeing that "oldpage.html" is redirected to "newpage.html".
The more often Google sees the redirect, the faster they index properly. And an easy way to make sure they keep seeing the change is to leave your old sitemaps up for awhile.
-
I never use more than a 301 redirect.
Perhaps using Google's suggested methods will cut the wait. I try to conserve on labor,
-
I see patience is the key here !
Should I use https://support.google.com/domains/answer/4522141?hl=en to do the redirect and maybe speed it up or is a redirect file my htaccess ok and won't change anything

I would expect that a site with domain authority of 25 could take a month or more to change.
Presently, I see 404 pages on Amazon taking a month to drop from the SERPs and redirects on a DA 70 taking a few weeks to fully switch.
-
Is a domain authority of 25 with a page authority of 18 considered strong (meaning a couple of week to get the page ranked) ? Or Should I be looking at 1 month or more like 2 to 3 months or more you think ?
Does the fact that my entire website was updated slow dow the process also ?
-
The answer here depends upon the strength and visibility of your site. Strong sites convert in a couple weeks. Weak sites can take a month or more to convert.
For at least the past three to six months, Google has been really slow with this type of work. The times that I mention above are more historic than what is happening today.

Are Hotel Vanity Websites considered a Doorway Page to brand.com?
I work for a large 3rd party management company and we use vanity websites to help us market our hotels. They provide us the ability to better manage our content as well as provide value to our customers versus the brand site. An example would be Vanity: http://www.hiltonmonterey.com/Brand.com: http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/california/hilton-garden-inn-monterey-MRYMHGI/index.htmlBased on my reading of Google's guidelines I am concerned that our vanity site may be interpreted as such. Please advise if this is the case.

Redirecting to homepage ok?
I deleted a bunch of category pages (renamed mostly actually and thought they'd be auto redirected like my blog posts are but they weren't) so I used a plugin that reroutes any 404 page to the homepage. Is that the best thing to do in this situation? Google Webmasters says there are about 84 404-errors and this should get rid of those right? Is there anything SEO BAD about doing it this way?

Massive 301 Permanant Redirects
Hello, First thing first, I am not moving my website to new domain neither changing my hosting. I just want to change internal page URLs to make them user and search engine friendly, URLs of categories and URLs of category filers. What I am talking about is massive 301 redirection. There are some pages which have backlinks and I have no doubt about using 301-permanant redirection for those pages. But as far as the category filter pages are concerned there are no backlinks for those pages, but yes they do have some authority. My website is 2months old. Now I want to know that Does massive redirection effects the website authority? Or avoid using permanent redirection for all pages instead use only for those pages which have back-links and avoid using for category filter pages. http://www.artorca.com/

Temporary redirect - help!
I ran an audit on a new clients website (they did a redesign and fell off of the radar). One of the major issues that the audit came back with was over 6,000 warnings for temporary re-directs. This is a large e-commerce site and I know there will be errors but wondering why the company who did the redesign wouldn't do a 301? Would someone be able to look at this code and tell me if what they did is correct? One of the many pages that has the temporary redirect: http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/index.php?route=checkout/cart&product_id=1 Where all the many pages with errors is redirecting to: http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/index.ph

If I want to rank well on one keyword would it be better to optimize multiple pages on the website for the keyword or should I only optimize one page for that keyword?
