I am in the process of creating some sites. I have a website with huge amount of content. It is not adding to the visitor satisfaction. I am looking forward to create a separate website for each category and redirect the existing pages to the new website. There are few question I would like to ask 1. What kind of a redirection is best. 301 php redirect will it work? ( I want to transfer my PR and link juice to the new website) I am not redirecting my website. Only pages in a website I am re directing to another website. 2. Will it harm my SERP. My old site has some good link juice and keyword ranking. Will it get affected by this action. Please give me detailed reply because I am in the process of launching websites.
Any change to your website domain or structure will have an effect on SERPS and PR as all your original pages will have developed lots of PR over the years. I changed a site from html to php and lost all my traffic and PR overnight.
I did exactly this - moved a subpart of a site to a new domain. It went so badly I'm never, ever doing that again. In hindsight I would have just deleted the content from the first site and moved it to the new forked domain and never put in a redirect at all.
From whatever I know I thought I could transfer the Link juice using the this technique. Would love to hear from other experts as well
Why don't you just make good plans and corrections/organize things on your original site so you don't have to risk this redirect?
I think you should create sum domains of your main site,gives its proper url to redirect properly,use proper keywords,content etc.
I am really sorry. I dont understand what you are coming at.. Can you make things little more obvious
If you create a separate website for each category, this will going to effect your ranking. You can carry on back links from old new new site. But old domain authority can't carry on to new sites.
That is a valid point. You are right. It is very hard to carry forward the old domain authority. Domain age is really important.
