Transitioning to HTTPS, Do i have to submit another disavow file?
-
Hi Mozzers!
So we're finally ready to move from http to https. Penguin is finally showing us some love due to the recent algorithm updates. I just added the https to Google search console and before 301 redirecting the whole site to a secure environment.....do i upload the same disavow file to the https version?
Moreover, is it best to have both the http and https versions on Google Search console? Or should I add the disavow file to the https version and delete the http version in a month?
And what about Bing?
Help.

If Bing will allow you to do it then yes. I can't add "other" version for my websites so probably Bing covers "all".
-
What about for Bing? Do i create 4 variations?
-
so ok, just for disavows.
-
yes.
-
Just for adding disavow. Because you have redirects set well right?
-
Krzysztof,
Does that mean I have to add sitemaps to all 4 versions as well? Including data highlighter schema? Or the purpose of these 4 it to redundant disavow files?
Thank you

Hi Shawn
Yes. Make sure you have all properties in your Google Search Console: www.domain.com, domain.com, https://domain.com, https://www.domain.com even if you have redirects. If you don't, create them, verify, and upload disavow file to all 4 "versions". If you got some subdomains, do the same for them too.
Don't delete. Add to all 4.
Krzysztof

Losing referrer data on http link that redirects to an https site when on an https site. Is this typical or is something else going on here?
I am trying to resolve a referral data issue. Our client noticed that their referrals from one of their sites to another had dropped to almost nothing from being their top referrer. The referring site SiteA which is an HTTPs site, held a link to SiteB, which is also an HTTPs site, so there should be no loss, however the link to SiteB on SiteA had the HTTP protocol. When we changed the link to the HTTPs protocol, the referrals started flowing in. Is this typical? If the 301 redirect is properly in place for SiteB, why would we lose the referral data?

Google Analytics Set-Up for site with both http & https pages
We have a client that migrated to https last September. The site uses canonicals pointing to the https version. The client IT team is reluctant to put 301 redirects from the non-secure to the secure and we are not sure why they object. We ran a screaming frog report and it is showing both URLs for the same page (http and https). The non-secure version has a canonical pointing to the secure version. For every secure page there is a non-secure version in ScreamingFrog so Google must be ignoring the canonical and still indexing the page however, when we run a site: we see that most URLs are the secure version. At that time we did not change the Google Analytics setup option to use: "https" instead of "http" BUT GA appears to be recording data correctly. Yesterday we set up a new profile and selected "https" but our question is: Does the GAnalytics http/https version make a difference if so, what difference is it?

How does switching to HTTPS effect Google Analytics?
We are looking at making our site HTTPS. We have been using the same Google Analytics account for years and I like having the historical data. All of our pages will be the same, we are just going to redirect from the http to https. Does anything need to be done with Google Analytics? What about other addons such as Optimizely, Crazy Egg, or Share this?

Disavowed inks
If we disavow spammy links to our site in google, will the overall number of incoming links reported in webmaster tools reflect the drop? (assuming google indeed disavowed them).

Getting traffic for another site
Hi Everyone, Our website url/brand is very close to another website url/brand. We are non-competing entities. It appears as though this other company has begun a marketing program which has resulted in our traffic skyrocketing. However, it seems to have also resulted in our Pages/Visit and Visit Duration to decrease and our Bounce Rate to increase. Can anyone suggest how to deal with this type of scenario? Thanks,
