      I switched from one domain to another because I wanted a domain that had our company name so it was more brand-y. However, the old domain had better DA/PA. Originally I set up a global 301 from the old to the new, but now I'm finding that I actually need to set up individual 301's from each URL of the old site, or at least from each page.

      However, I am using Wix so it looks like I can't always do URL-URL 301's, although I can redirect any URL to a page on the new website. The problem is that, in some cases, the content on the new site is different (or, for example, I can only link a particular blog post on the old site back to the new site's blog's main page). How closely do URLS/pages need to resemble each other for link juice to be transferred? Also, should I try to set up all these redirects manually or bite the bullet and go back to using the old domain?

      The problem is that I did a lot of beginner SEO junk for the new domain, like submitting to a few higher-quality directories, and getting our website on various industry resource sites, etc. I'd need to re-do this entirely if I go back to the old page.  What do you think?

        I don't know of any rule that says the content has to be close to or resemble the original content. I've used both url to url and many to one url methods of redirecting pages, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. If you CAN go url to url, I would, simply from a usability standpoint. If I am clicking on a link in the SERPS for "old link", I am expecting the content on "new link" to at resemble the content I'm expecting. If not, you will get higher bounce rates etc. I'd go for url to url for this reason alone.

        In the circumstances where you can't do this, such as limitations WIX has on url to url 301 redirects, then you would go to the main page or section page. Remember, the intent of the redirect is to tell Google the content moved and that it has a new home. Again, no rule that I can cite on this, but we all know Google likes what people like.

          Images on their own page?

          Hi Mozers, We have images on their own separate pages that are then pulled onto content pages. Should the standalone pages be indexable? On the one hand, it seems good to have an image on it's own page, with it's own title. On the other hand, it may be better SEO for crawler to find the image on a content page dedicated to that topic. Unsure. Would appreciate any guidance! Yael

          Should I apply Canonical Links from my Landing Pages to Core Website Pages?

          I am working on an SEO project for the website: https://wave.com.au/ There are some core website pages, which we want to target for organic traffic, like this one: https://wave.com.au/doctors/medical-specialties/anaesthetist-jobs/ Then we have basically have another version that is set up as a landing page and used for CPC campaigns. https://wave.com.au/anaesthetists/ Essentially, my question is should I apply canonical links from the landing page versions to the core website pages (especially if I know they are only utilising them for CPC campaigns) so as to push link equity/juice across? Here is the GA data from January 1 - April 30, 2019 (Behavior > Site Content > All Pages😞

          Page rank and menus

          Hi, My client has a large website and has a navigation with main categories. However, they also have a hamburger type navigation in the top right. If you click it it opens to a massive menu with every category and page visible. Do you know if having a navigation like this bleeds page rank? So if all deep pages are visible from the hamburger navigation this means that page rank is not being conserved to the main categories. If you click a main category in the main navigation (not the hamburger) you can see the sub pages. I think this is the right structure but the client has installed this huge menu to make it easier for people to see what there is. From a technical SEO  is this not bad?

          Substantial difference between Number of Indexed Pages and Sitemap Pages

          Hey there, I am doing a website audit at the moment. I've notices substantial differences in the number of pages indexed (search console), the number of pages in the sitemap and the number I am getting when I crawl the page with screamingfrog (see below). Would those discrepancies concern you? The website and its rankings seems fine otherwise. Total indexed: 2,360 (Search Consule)
          About 2,920 results (Google search "site:example.com")
          Sitemap: 1,229 URLs
          Screemingfrog Spider: 1,352 URLs Cheers,
          Jochen

          Should my back links go to home page or internal pages

          Right now we rank on page 2 for many KWs, so should i now focus my attention on getting links to my home page to build domain authority or continue to direct links to the internal pages for specific KWs? I am about to write some articles for several good ranking sites and want to know whether to link my company name (same as domain name) or KW to the home page or use individual KWs to the internal pages - I am only allowed one link per article to my site. Thanks Ash

          Redirect Search Results to Category Pages

          I am planning redirect the search results to it's matching category page to avoid having two indexed pages of essentially the same content. Example http://www.example.com/search/?kw=sunglasses
          wil be redirected to
          http://www.example.com/category/sunglasses/ Is this a good idea? What are the possible negative effect if I go this route? Thanks.

          www.sampledomomain.co.uk/low-traffic-greyshoes
          www.sampledomomain.co.uk/low-traffic-greenshoes
          www.sampledomomain.co.uk/low-traffic-redshoes all of the above will be redirected to the following page:
          www.sampledomomain.co.uk/high-traffic-blackshoes Question
          Will carrying out htaccess redirects from the above example influence to web positioning of both www.sampledomomain.co.uk/high-traffic-blackshoes and www.sampledomomain.co.uk Regards Mark
