410 /demandware.store/ pages
-
I have a client that just migrated to salesforce commerce cloud. They have a large amount of 410 pages showing up in site crawls. They are all of the /on/demandware.store/ variety. Is there any reason to redirect thousands of these pages? Any value? Or should they be allowed to drop off?
-
There were several that had good traffic and sales pre-migration.
-
Yes, your sitemap should be clean of anything other than a 200 (ok) status code.
If you are getting thousands of 410's then the URL mapping must not be correct. Otherwise, they'd be 301s. Export all of those URLs returning a 410 status code and pull in metrics for them from Google Search Console, Analytics, and for backlinks (Moz, aHref, SEMRush...). Did any of them get more than a few visitors in the 90 days prior to the migration? Did any of those result in sales? Do any of them have backlinks?
-
I wasnt in on the mapping of the 301's but it LOOKS like all was correct. Just thousands of 410's still out that. And submitted on the site map, which I think aint helping.

BDCSEO,
That is not at all uncommon. If the migration was done well it "should" bounce back within a few weeks. A sustained traffic loss usually means something was missed, like losing link equity from legacy redirects that weren't ported over, similar to the issue above.
-
There's been a significant drop in organic since site migration.
-
BDCSEO,
That really depends on if those URLs are still getting traffic and/or have any backlinks. I would do a complete export of all of the backlinks to that domain and look for any going into those pages. That should tell you if you need to redirect any of them.

Redirecting https pages
If I add 301 redirects from the https versions of the root domain to the http:www.website.com (canonical version), will this prevent users from being able to access the https version? I believe the https version is only accessed once users log into the site. Thank you!

Moving Top rank Page urls off my Home page and nesting them on one page? Good idea?
I am basically trying to cut down the amount of links on my home page to make it less eye boggling and move stuff around. So i have of my Urls on my home page that lead to pages that rank very well within google. My questions is can i remove those urls to a separate page to group them together and then showcase that one link to that page on my home page. Is that a good idea or i am going to loose my link juice and position in search? The physical urls on those pages wont change at all.
