I have just bought a site with 300+ pages .. I want to redirect the whole pages to a subfolder of my site. Can I do it gradually i.e. 301 redirect 20 pages a day instead of redirect all 300+ pages in one day? I don't want Google to be suspicious , finding that that the content of my site become 300+ pages more in mere one day. The custom redirect will be done via .htaccess . I will define 301 redirect rules for each of the page. Thx
I don't think will affect your rankings or make google suspicious if you don't have any illegal content or content that is outside of the Google Guidelines.
But the addition of 300+ pages in one day ? plus hundreds of new inbound links from the redirected domain? My site is a 3 month old site ..... BTW i am going to redirect the older site to a subfolder of my new site.
Hi All, Unfortunately I had deleted the old files .com/xyz which I relocated it to .com/a/xyz. Since I have lost the old files, I am not able to use 301 redirect from .com/xyz to .com/a/xyz and google or any search engines are not able to index my new links. I have uploaded new sitemap on webmasters tool. Please give me a solution on how can I index my new links and demote my old links appearing in Search Engines. Thank you, Gururajseo
redirection will not affect your rank as you are not creating spam content, you are just pointing the existing content to a new url and that is legal and it does not matter how much pages you redirect in a single day, it can be 2 or 2000 or 20000 google wants unique content that is it.
