Ok i have two related sites, i am combining both sites (wordpress blogs) what is the best course of action for SEO. just delete 2nd site and domain and forward nothing ( and add articles later own to site 1) do a 301 redirect from domain 2nd domain to 1st domain ( add articles) or leave both sites as is then use the yoast redirect functionality to copy post to 1st site then forward it from the post from 2nd site? (would this be copying)? please help.
A permanent redirect would be the way to go providing the 2 websites are related. This way any link juice from the old websites backlink profile will flow through. WebDev
thanks, do i copy all the posts from the old site to new site first? the category structure changes a little , so wouldn't this effect the indexed search pages? how do i do a permanent redirect?
Best way is redirect your website. Redirection will be 301 Redirection, becoz 301 is a permanent redirect which passes between 90-99% of link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page. 301 redirection refer to the HTTP status codes for this type of redirect. In most instances, the 301 redirect is the best method for implementing redirects on a website.
