Hey there.
I have a technical question regarding redirects. It`s pretty complicated and it would be best if somebody PM`d me. I`ll do my best to explain.
Long story short I have a client that moved his site from WP to a real estate oriented platform. Since he`s moved, his site has completely tanked in rankings.
A few issues with this platform. All posts and site pages edited on a custom url for example. http://domain-name.bilt.me which then 301 redirect to http:domainname.com
Google webmaster tools shows this http://built..me as the most linking site. It gets even worse as most of the subpages have 30 links or so of random links from this http://built..me urls. (see screen shot)
I have a Moz acct and I have anywhere from 400 to 1500 pages with duplicate content. The duplicate content fluctuates on a daily bases!
Its gets worse. The blog portion of his site is in WPMU. Before he switched developers, his blog post structure was domainname.com /postname. Now it`s domainname/2013/11/sample-post/.
BUT domainname/2013/11/sample-post/ is what indexes on google but it 301 redirects to domainname.com /postname..
I`m really not sure what to do. I`m assuming these issues are causing me major problems. Do we get this developer to try to fix the issues or ditch him.
Any input would be appreciated! ?
