Hello friends, I have one confusion that suppose I have abc.com abc.com/test.html If I am down my homepage which is index.html then is test.html effect its seo rank ?
There are mixed opinions on this. Some say that Google does rank the website as a whole based on the backlinks on not just the main domain but the subpages within that domain itself. But no, it shouldn't really hurt your SEO rank except maybe a little bit if you're interlinking between the home page and test.html and backlinking for the same keyword as that anchor text. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just work on getting your home page back up and running.
I need to down my index.html permanently because of some issues. But can I transfer it on home.html ? and place home.html on my other sites pages so it will get crawl regular basis.what you say?
That's a weird question, can you clarify what you mean? Do you mean that since domain1.com is down, you want to transfer domain1.com (index.html) under domain2.com/home.html? :S Personally I say you have a few options. Move the website to a new domain and do a 301 redirect from your old domain to the new one (this will pass all link juice). Or, if you don't really care about index.html, redirect the main domain to the subpage abc.com/test.html (if they're ranking for the same keyword that is). You could say in some sense that Google treats and ranks each page on a website as an individual website, so just stop ranking the main domain (index.html) and just rank the abc.com/test.html (or you could do the 301 redirect like I said so people that go to abc.com don't get pissed about the broken page).
Let me explain exactly what's my problem. I have a domain says abc.com/index.html which cover my niche 'abc' then there is a page says abc.com/test.html covers keyword 'test' and other page says abc.com/temp.html which cover keyword 'temp' I have traffic from abc keyword follow index.html->10 visitors google 3rd rank test keyword follow test.html->25 visitors google 2nd rank temp keyword follow temp.html ->15 visitors google 1st rank Now because of some legal issue I need to down abc.com but I am going to down only index.html page not whole site so people who require to down my site they face site down. so in this case I loss only 10 visitors and other pages are working properly. So my question is it effect ranking of test.html and temp.html page ? Because I am also making changes in sitemap.html. can you please suggest is it right way or there is any other way?
No, it shouldn't drastically effect your other page's rankings at all if that's the answer you're looking for. Google does rank based on the website as a whole, but the individual pages are ranked just like individual websites almost, so you're good to go. I would recommend however that you do something about index.html (perhaps build a new one to avoid the legal issues) because even those 10 visitors (Google 3rd rank) is very beneficial! But if each page is ranked for its own keywords, then no, you're good to go.
actually you will get different opinion about this matter. but i think the main home page passes link juice to the other pages so its obivious that you will get some benefit from the home page. and if it is down then you will not get any SEO benefit. thanks
Yes, there is some effect, but hardly noticeable. I know a lot of people that developed websites, and now have nothing on the main page but instead use the subdirectories to market their affiliate offers via landing pages. They just rank the landing pages individually, no problems.
Yes futurepocket you are right. My other pages are based on directory and they get it's own value. There is one last question if I down my index page then other pages has been crawl on which bassis? on sitemap.xml or google boat crawl all pages which are on root directory?
