This is indeed a simple question and I expect many of you will scratch your head and think I am not too bright! However I want to get this right so will ask anyway and live with my embarrassment! I have a wordpress website I am not happy with a page on my website, it has been published and viewed. Can I save this page to draft and then redirect the url that it had to another page on the website that is similar? Is there a better way of doing this that Google would prefer? If I have similar pages on my website both ranking fairly poorly (page 3) for similar keywords would it be good for ranking to redirect one to the other (with the other saved as draft), would this result in Google most likely then selecting the other url and using that one to list in the organic results? With a 301 redirect such as discussed above does any 'power' of the page then get passed to the page that it is redirected to? Oops that is more than one simple question! Sorry, any answers would be greatly appreciated...
Yes. 301 redirects transfer about 90% of link juice to the new page. That's best way to move forward.
