All, I need your valuable remarks over query, which puzzles me a bit. My question is: I have two sites. Say, site A & site B. Site A is old one & site B is new one. The theme of both the sites are same. The rankings of both sites are good in major search engine like Google. I re-directed few pages of site B including home page to site A through server IIS redirect. Pages which I redirect are on same theme and same name like www.B.com/bb.html redirect into www.A.com/bb.html. Now I have few question regarding redirect: 1. Would my site B rankings lost OR not? 2. Site A Ranking will effect? 3. The SE crawler also redirect into A when it crawls site B? 4. When Search engine cache site B page which we redirect into Site A page then what will be the snapshot while we check site B latest cache record after redirect? 5. Suppose if site B got higher ranking for few keywords and site A got less ranking for same keywords then after redirect site A ranking will improved for that keywords? 6. Suppose if site B got less ranking for few keywords and site A got good ranking for same keywords then after redirect site A ranking will also reduce? Thanks, Rock
1. Would my site B rankings lost OR not? If it contains only or mostly redirect, then yes. 2. Site A Ranking will effect? Some said yes, some said no. Logically it should be a no. 3. The SE crawler also redirect into A when it crawls site B? Yes, if your way of redirect is SEO friendly. There are tools to check it. Try "seo friendly redirect checker" in google. 4. When Search engine cache site B page which we redirect into Site A page then what will be the snapshot while we check site B latest cache record after redirect? That depends on how you redirect it. Some way will have empty content, some way will have site A content. 5. Suppose if site B got higher ranking for few keywords and site A got less ranking for same keywords then after redirect site A ranking will improved for that keywords? If 301 redirect, then yes. If not, then no. 6. Suppose if site B got less ranking for few keywords and site A got good ranking for same keywords then after redirect site A ranking will also reduce? No. Your ranking will reduce because of competition, not because of the redirect.
