:confused: To merge or not to merge

    Hello,

    I currently have two sites, www.mistertruffle.com and www.food-love.com. Mister Truffle is selling fresh truffles and food-love is my food blog.

    They are also currently on different hosting.

    I'm wondering if, from an SEO content point of view, I should bring my food-love blog into the mister truffle site, or whether it is better to keep them separate.

    Can you help?

    Thanks,

    Hugo

    Unless it is too much work to maintain both sites I would keep both sites separate. If you just want to focus your time and effort on a single site, then you should consider redirecting one to the other and consolidating them.

    Are you talking about doing a 301 redirect with one site then merging the content?
