According to the above article you lose 15% page rank on permanent redirects.
Our site and domain was launched without any migrations. Is there a way to fix this problem?
Please 101 me on this question.Thanks,
Kevin Welch

Hi,
Tawny is right. If you want to pass on any existing authority to a new domain/url, then you want to be using 301 redirects to do it. Either doing them en masse (e.g. all http: to https:) or individually if required, and you should get somewhere around 90% of the original SEO benefit (which is better than nothing). Plus it also avoids users trying to visit via previous links ending up on a 404 page, which is pretty bad for the user experience.

Hey Kevin! Tawny from Moz's help team here.
I'm not 100% sure on this — I'm not an SEO, just a helpster — but I think 301 redirects are probably your best bet for passing on link juice. According to our resource on redirection, which you can find here: https://mza.bundledseo.com/learn/seo/redirection
301 Permanent Redirects pass on between 90% and 99% of their link equity (ranking power), so that's probably the kind of redirect you should use if you're hoping to pass link juice from one page to another.I hope this helps! Maybe one of our illustrious community members can chime in here and weigh in on the topic, either to confirm what I've said or to demonstrate that I'm wrong.

Page Authority higher on my old (redirected) domain than new domain?
Hi everyone. I moved the domain my blog was on about 18 months ago, and it's ranking in Google never recovered. I've noticed in the 'Inbound Links' tool that my old domain (jamescrowley.co.uk) shows a page authority of 26, while my new domain (jamescrowley.net) shows a page authority of 15. Any idea why that would be? 301 redirects have been in place for the whole 18 months, so I'd have thought the authority would have been 'passed on' by now? Many thanks James

Open Site Explorer is finding old html Files that havn't been on my site in two years... even after a 301 Redirect. HELP!
Hello!
Link Explorer | | morganlindsaycole
My problem started when I became aware that when I checked my backlinks for the past two years, it states that no backlinks have been found. When I ran a site analysis on SEMrush - No backlinks are found on the URL, or Domain. There are 7 Backlinks on the Root Domain and those were configured in 2012. I made a second domain www.columbusweddingphotographersreviews.comwhere I linked to my domain at www.morganlindsayphotography.com so I could test that google had crawled both websites and after, still no backlink was found. I have also been published on a dozen or so wedding websites that has linked to my website where they are follow links and still nothing. (http://www.brendasweddingblog.com/blogs/2015/2/23/an-elegant-fall-wedding-in-ohio-with-morgan-lindsay-photography) **Website Background- **
In 2012 I had two separate websites - One for Seniors that was an HTML website I build in Dreamweaver at www.morganlindsayphotography/seniors and another for Wedding Clients found at www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding - (wordpress) I had a Splash page wish was found atwww.morganlindsayphotography.com. Two years ago when I became aware splash pages were frowned upon in Google, I combined the two websites and stayed with the Wordpress which was www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding
Because I did not want users to have to go to www.morganlindsayphotography.com/Wedding to view my url, Godaddy moved my wordpress site from thewww.morganlindsyphotography.com/Wedding directory towww.morganlindsayphotography.com When I ran the Open Site Explorer with Moz I found after runningwww.morganlindsayphotography.com the TOP pages on this domain according to Page Authority are old HTML files from my senior website, as well as old Posts from when my wordpress site was found atwww.moragnlindsayphotography.com/Weddings
No current pots or pages are showing up besideswww.morganlindsyphotography.com I do run a cache management system to speed up my system and recently cleaned out my .htcacess folder and still had no luck. This is difficulty something **Last night I made a 301 Redirect in my htaccess for all the old links pointing to the new links as best as I could. My htacess folder looks like this.. BEGIN WordPress <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]</ifmodule> END WordPress Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /Wedding http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /Wedding/ http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /about.html http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/about-morgan-lindsay/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /app.html http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/blog/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /experience.html http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/senior-sessions/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /senior.html http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/ohio-senior-photographer/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /seniorsconstruction.html http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/ohio-senior-photographer/ Permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com Redirect 301 /Wedding/2012/06/22/brittany-reis-jason-mcclaflin-tiffin-ohio-wedding/ http://www.morganlindsayphotography.com/holy-family-church-columbus-wedding/ After I ran the open site moz explorer and the www.morganlindsayphotography/Wedding was still there..0 -
Permanent 301 - Domain Authority
Hi, we created a new website which we also gave a new url.
Link Explorer | | DIGIHOUSE
We made a permanent 301 for the complete domain. www.digihouse.at -> www.digihouse-werbeagentur.at Google checked that and we rank minimum as good as with the old domain.
But in MOZ Tools the Domain Authority is very bad now.
So i think the 301 influences Google but not the Moz Tools?
The Domain Authority will not be inherited in Moz Tools? thxChris0 -
Is there some way to tell the Moz crawler not to crawl URL's with particular dynamic tags such as "?redirect-to:http//" ?
We are encountering an issue where the crawler is finding a ton of pages from our wordpress login url that has this dynamic tag in it to kinds of different blog entries. It's madness. I can't figure out what is causing these URLs to generate to be crawled in the first place! Does this sound familiar to anyone out there, any constructive suggestions? Robots text or maybe meta robots tags that would resolve this crawl issue?

Open Site Explorer not reporting all 301 redirected links
Our site had over 2,000 root domains linking to it as reported in MOZ Open Site Explorer (and Google Webmaster Tools). We then changed the domain and made sure that 301 redirects were set up for all pages across the site. That was about 1 month ago. Open Site Explorer is now reporting less than 300 linking root domains. For the links that it is reporting the majority of these are being 301 redirected to the new URLs (some of them we changed the links directly). However the majority of the links that are being 301 redirected are not being reported. It is reporting most of the links coming from the old to the new domain. Google Webmaster Tools is reporting over 1,000 linking root domains to the new domain (it has a max of 1,000). We did notice that MOZ took some time to update the domain authority of the new domain. It was 1 for along time and it has now jumped up to 46 ( it was previously at 74). Maybe this is a time delay thing and eventually Open Site Explorer will report all of the 301 redirected links? It is a bit frustrating at the moment as we can't fully analyse the links to the site to try to focus on the high domain linking sites to get them to change the link directly. Also, If all links are being 301 redirected to the new domain should the authority not be close to where it was previously after one month? Our search traffic has dropped considerably since the launch of the new site and hasn't returned yet, so just wondering if the 301 redirected links pass on as much value as thre original direct links. Thanks, Damien
