Hello, One of my client's site is doing good for certain very highly competitive keywords. He has also developed one more site. This site is also 2 months older and listed on all major search engines. He wants to redirect old site to new site. I personally don't want it. But because client wants, i have done 301 redirect from old site to new site before 2 days. What can be impact of these????? And whether this decision is good or bad??? And right now there is no any lose in traffic. What is your opinion on it?? Whether we keep 2 sites. And do SEO for 2. Or just do seo for new site and redirection from old site which we have done right now. Thanks.
Continue with SEO for your new website. You told the engine the old site moved to the new one in a correct manner now continue working on the new site.
But it is done just before 2 days. But still any search engine doesn't has crawled my site. So, they don't aware of it. IF there is any good suggestion is there, then plz tell. I can revert it back.
Google handles 301's pretty good. Other engines are kinda slow with it but at this time handle it well too. if you had to redirect an old site to a new one a 301 is the only way recommended to go. By doing SEO for others you should know to have patience with the crawlers by now. There is no magic tricks to further help you other then continueing with the new website and link building to the new domain.
I have found this as well... But, where you can avoid it then there are no worries at all. Sometimes (and I'm as guilty as anyone) improper planning before a project causes you to end up with too many 301's and all of a sudden you have completely different urls posted in Google, MSN, and Yahoo! It actually took weeks/months before I noticed that the engines had all of this sorted out; I think Google might have a waiting period to make sure your permanent redirect isn't actually a temporary ploy to throw weight in a different direction, and it might be the same with other engines, too...
