Hmmm.. I think its the IP address of your computer i.e. goto http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and get your IP address and use it below.
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^123.45.67.8
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/$1 [R=301,L]I am sorry, not much of an Apache expert.

Thanks for you help?
Is the IP address you mentioned is my localhost? i.e. My sandbox IP address is 123.45.67.8
The redirect 301 should be:RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^123.45.67.8
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule /* http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/ [R,L]or
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^123.45.67.8
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/$1 [R=301,L]Am I right?
Thanks,

Please see https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334
You can demote up to 100 URLs, and demotions are effective for 90 days from your most recent visit to the Sitelinks page in Webmaster Tools.
If I were you, then on http://sandbox.vietnamvisacorp.com/ I would put a 301 redirect based on ip address on all pages.
This will redirect all users to http://www.vietnamvisacorp.com/ based on ip address, i.e. if IP address = your ip then don't redirect otherwise redirect.

If you are webmaster, you can demote the unwanted content using google web master tools.
Configuration -> Sitelinks-> Demote this sitelink URL:
And obviously, keep updating robots.txt moving forward.

"p/s: I have just add robots.txt to sandbox and disallow all pages."
That will do it, just have to wait till google picks up on those instructions (might take a while)

Should I worry that thousands of spam sites are linking to me?
I was browsing Google Webmaster Tools and discovered there are 117,301 links to my site— mostly from very low-quality, spammy websites. I definitely did not solicit these links. I'm worried they are from a competitor trying to get me penalized by Google. Should I be worried about this? spam-websites.png?1505218483

Linking to my Site so I should Link Back?
I remember hearing a few years ago that it was a good practice to link back to a site that was linking to you. My company's site was referenced and linked to in a news article. The news company has an above average domain authority, which is pretty good for my company's backlink profile. Is it still or was ever a "best practice" to link back to this website/domain? I feel like linking back was a best practice, but when I try to search this, all I get back is backlinking 101 and backlinking articles. Nothing really answering my question straight forward. Thanks for any help.

Google Indexing Pages with Made Up URL
Hi all, Google is indexing a URL on my site that doesn't exist, and never existed in the past. The URL is completely made up. Anyone know why this is happening and more importantly how to get rid of it. Thanks 🙂

Test site got indexed in Google - What's the best way of getting the pages removed from the SERP's?
Hi Mozzers, I'd like your feedback on the following: the test/development domain where our sitebuilder works on got indexed, despite all warnings and advice. The content on these pages is in active use by our new site. Thus to prevent duplicate content penalties we have put a noindex in our robots.txt. However off course the pages are currently visible in the SERP's. What's the best way of dealing with this? I did not find related questions although I think this is a mistake that is often made. Perhaps the answer will also be relevant for others beside me. Thank you in advance, greetings, Folko

Why is Google not indexing my site?
I'm a bit confused as to why my site just isn't indexing on Google. Even if I type in my brand name, my social channels rank and there's no evidence of my website. I've followed all of the advice I've read and gone into webmaster tools and got the Wordpress yoast plug-in but nothing seems to be making a difference!One thing I've noticed, in Google Webmaster Tools it says "Couldn’t communicate with the DNS server." in site errors. I've called GoDaddy and they said that everything is fine. A bit frustrating. Trying to work out what my next steps should be but feeling a bit lost to be honest! Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Google seems to be penalizing my site for some reason
I recently took control of a website which did have some pretty big SEO problems, duplicate content being one of the main ones!! Looking back at ranking data the website ranked very well for it's main keyword, #5 for Google, Yahoo and Bing. The ranking then dropped in February 2012 for Google to #64 but stayed the same for Yahoo and Bing. I scrapped the dodgy content and completely rewrote it using a Wordpress framework about 6 weeks ago, still targeting the same keywords and 301 redirecting the old pages to the new pages where applicable. My rankings for Yahoo and Bing are still maintaining their page 1 rankings but Google is still ranking the website on page 5/6. My question is. Is the website getting punished for something that was part of the old website? If so how can I find out what it is and fix it? This website ranked on page 1 for Google for most of it's popular keywords but now it doesn't. I appreciate any feedback Many Thanks : )

Google has not indexed my site in over 4 weeks, what's the problem?
We recently put in permanent redirects to our new url, but Google seems to not want to index the new url. There was no problems with the old url and the new url is brand new so should have no 'black marks' against it. We have done everything we can think off in terms of submitting site maps, telling google our url has changed in webmaster tools, mentioning the new url on social sites etc...but still nothing. It has been over 4 weeks now since we set up the redirects to the url, any ideas why Google seems to be choosing not to index it? Thanks
