How to combine sites...

ArizonaLandForSale · 08-17-2011, 12:47 PM

I've got two sites right now that I'm 90% sure I want to combine into just one site. How can I do it and still retain the SEO value of the site that is eliminated?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Using 301 redirects

So throw the content on one site (call it the old one, the one you are migrating away from) onto the other one (call it the new one), then on the OLD site setup a 301 redirect for each page, redirecting it to the new URL at the new site.

Or if you're regging a new domain and putting both sites' content into that new domain, just setup 301 redirects for both old sites.

Will I still need to keep the hosting for the old website if I do it this way?
