Expired traffic and 301 value
-
Hi Folks,
Here is our situation
we have an old brand domain
www.asia-hotels.com >> that was redirecting to>>www.asiahotels.com
By mistake, we let that domain expired and only noticed the drop a month later
We lost all our pages and this for several weeks Not sure of the exact date but approximately around 24th of December, what a merry Xmas!
Since then we have repurchased the domain, Put back all the pages as they were and re-instated all the 301 redirect as they were.
Since that date we haven't seen any uplift in our visits or visibility score.
Did we do something wrong with our 301 redirect? I know for sure we used ISAPI rewrite mod for the non www. domain although I am not entirely sure how the www. version has been handled.
Is there something we should do at a DNS level to flag the site is back? Should we presetn a reconsideration request?
Any help would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Freddy

I placed a bit more info and the visits graph on my blog:

I am not sure if this is due to the fact that some information is cached but when i looked at the site on opensiteexplorer I found that the data is still showing as non redirected sites:

I'm following up on old questions here, and wondering how this ever turned out for you. Are you back to your previous traffic yet? Do you have any hints for others in this situation (as yes, we have seen other people in this situation!). Thanks!

I would check to see how you are doing the redirect. According to a header check here, the asian-hotels.com is a 302 and not a 301.
Although the www version is a 301. So I am guessing you have the non www redirecting to the www version which then redirect to the new site?
This does not explain your issue however as the redirect is only hopping twice.
Are you doing a site wide 301, or a per page 301? I would think a site wide, but you mentioned that you put the pages back up.

301 or 404 old Event pages
I have a site that lists events and then removes them from the site once the date and event has passed. Is it best to let the old event page 404 or 301 back up to a subfolder that lists the current events?

301 redirects and old domain names
Thanks to the great advice i've received on this forum, I'm combining 50 different truck sites into a single, ultimate truck website. So my question is how long should I make a website 301 redirect to the appropriate page on my new website? My thought is that if it works well to have a single website, it might be nice to eventually sell off some of the old domain names that I won't be using anymore. Thanks! Andy
