Redirecting an Entire Website?
-
Is it best to redirect an old website to a new website page by page to like pages or just the entire site all at once to the home page of the new site?
I do have about 10 good pages on the site that are worth directing to corresponding pages on the new site. Just trying to figure out what is going to preserve the most link juice.
Thanks for the help!

I also want to redirect my client's website blazingweb.site to a new domain name that is more focused on speeding up websites. Is it good to transfer or better to get a new domain name?

@photoseo1 Redirecting an entire website involves directing all pages and URLs to new locations or a different domain. It's a strategic decision that requires careful planning and execution. Preserve SEO value and communicate the change effectively.

If you redirect your entire website to another website, it will pass the complete link juice to another website and that's the most advantageous thing.
Suppose you have a 30 DA website and some good backlinks..If you redirect it to another website, it will get the same authority and the link juice

@Kateparish Thanks so much for the advice.

@photoseo1 You need to redirect your whole website to your new URL. Simply do it via your cpanel, and do not forget to check the wildcard option. This will help you to redirect all pages as well.

@photoseo1 When redirecting an old website to a new one, it's best to use individual page-to-page redirects for important pages. This preserves link juice and SEO value. It guides search engines and visitors to corresponding pages on the new site. Redirecting the entire site to the new site's homepage is an option for small sites without significant page equivalents. However, it may not retain the same SEO benefits. Targeted page redirects ensure a smooth transition, maintain rankings, and enhance user experience.

Redirection of 100 domain to Main domain affects SEO?
Hi guys, An email software vendor managed by a different area of my company redirected 100 domains used for unsolicited email campaigns to my main domain. These domains are very likely to get blacklisted at some point. My SEO tool now is showing me all those domains as "linking" to my main site as do-follow links. The vendor states that this will not affect my main domain/website in any way. I'm highly concerned. I would appreciate your professional opinion about this. Thanks!!

Unsolved Issue with former site redirect
Hello, After 2 months of starting a new service with a new domain name and a rather flat curve, I decided to invest in auditing tools. To my surprise, when analyzing links with 'Link Explorer', I got the following warning : "You entered the URL crapahute.com which redirects to www.krapahute.com. Click here to analyze www.krapahute.com instead."... So I understand I bought a domain name that was previously in use, 8 years ago. And logically, when they moved from crapahute.com to krapahute.com, the former site owners set a (probably 401) redirect between their former name and their new one. Probably that in the last 8 years they dropped crapahute.com since I was able to buy the domain name last year. I can't understand the warning I'm receiving. since I thought this redirect would become inactive when they dropped the domain name. On the contrary, if I analyze the backlinks to krapahute.com I can indeed see : crapahute.com [no anchor text] 3 2 0 --

Date first seen - Date lost - Link target
2016-09-05 - N/A - www.krapahute.com So my question is : where is this warning coming from ? I performed some nslookup and dig on my domain and their's just to find out that every thing seems to look normal. Meanwhile, if I type "crapahute" in Google (and most other search engines), my site arrives in 12th page (!), and if I type "crapahute.com", the site "krapahute.com" appears first. Thank you for those reading up to that point ! Any hint on what could cause this ? Should I change of domain name ? Thank you !0 -

Redirection chain and Javascript Redirect
Hi, A redirection chain is usually defined as a page redirecting to another page which itself is another redirection. URL1 ---(301/302)---> URL2 ---(301/302)---> URL3 But what about Javascript redirect? They seem to be a different beast: URL1 ---(301/302)---> URL2 ---(200 then Javascript redirect)---> URL3 From what I know if the javascript redirect is instant Google counts it as a 301 permanent redirection, but I'm still not sure about if this counts as a redirection chain. Most of the tools (such as moz) only see the first redirection. So is that scenario a redirection chain or no?
