Need advice on redirects
-
Hi,
I have new web addresses for my subpages. None if them have external links. Should I do redirects to the new pages or just leave the old pages in 404 and let google crawl and rank the new page. I am asking because my current pages don’t have a good ranking and I am thinking starting with a clean url is better.
Thank you,

Hi there, depending on the CMS you're using you should consider adding 301 redirects as part if the site build
-
Yeah - you are fine. Whenver you get a chance to. We've redirected URL's for websites that we switched 3-6 months prior to us working with them and the equity was transferred over. I hope that helps!
-
Thank you. I will redirect in the case.
How long do i have to redirect. Is it ok to do the redirect 48 hours after the website is online ?
-
Hey there! I would still 301 redirect the pages. Even if the pages do not have any external links, Google may value them from the number of inner links pointing to them and the age of the pages. Google also sees a high 404 page ratio as an indication of an unhealthy website.
Thanks!

How many redirects are too many?
Hello Everyone, I currently have a dynamic site and it is my understanding that switching to a static site would be beneficial. I already have some 301's in place from when my site had a .php extension to the new extension now with ./?... etc. Is it okay to re redirect them? How many redirects are too many? Thank you in advance for suggestions. Have a Fabulous Friday! Sandra

Moving to https: Double Redirects
We're migrating our site to https and I have the following question: We have some old url's that we are 301ing to new ones. If we switch over to https then we will be forced to do a double-redirect for these url's. Will this have a negative SEO impact? If so, is there anything that we can do about it?
