Unsolved I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know.
-
Hello
I have a "click rate juice" question would like to know.
For example. I created a noindex site for a few days event purposes. Using a random domain like this: event.example.com. Expecting 5000+ clicks per day.
Is it possible to gain some traffic juice from this event website domain "example.com" to my other main site "main.com" but without exposing its URL.
Thought about using 301 redirecting "example.com" to "main.com". But it will reveal the example-b.com to the general public if someone visits the domain "example.com".
Also thought about using a canonical URL, but it would not be working because the event site is noindex. or it would not matter at all
Wondering if there is a thing like this to gain some traffic juice for another domain?
Thanks

It seems like you are trying to leverage a temporary event website to potentially transfer some traffic or "juice" to your main website without exposing the main site's URL. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
301 Redirects:
Using a 301 redirect from event.example.com to main.com would indeed transfer some SEO value. However, as you mentioned, this would expose the main domain to users who visit the event site, defeating the purpose of keeping it undisclosed.Canonical Tags:
Canonical tags are meant to indicate the preferred version of a page when there are duplicate or very similar content. In this case, as the event site is set to noindex, search engines may not consider canonical tags.Noindex:
The "noindex" meta tag is used to instruct search engines not to index a particular webpage. This means the content won't appear in search engine results. However, it doesn't necessarily prevent search engines from following links on that page.Considering the goal of transferring some SEO value without revealing the main site's URL, here are a few potential suggestions:
Link Building:
Consider building internal links on the event site to relevant pages on the main site. This won't provide an immediate SEO boost, but it may help search engines discover and index your main site's content more efficiently.Social Media:
Promote the event site on social media platforms and encourage sharing. While this won't directly affect search engine rankings, it can generate traffic and awareness.Email Marketing:
If you have an email list for the event, include links or CTAs (calls to action) that direct users to the main site. Again, this won't directly impact SEO but can drive targeted traffic. -
At the domain zehlm.com will it boost "Link Juice" if there are dofollow links leading from other webpages of the same domain to the index home page? OR- will it penalize the website? OR- if it will work and help, and how many dofollow links from other same domain pages will cause toxic repercussions?

Rel: Canonical - checking advice provided by SEO agency
Hey all, We have two brands one bigger and one smaller that are on 2 different domains. We are wanting to repost some of the articles from the smaller brand to the bigger brand and what was a bit of curve ball, our SEO agency advised us NOT to put a rel: canonical on the reposted articles on the bigger brands site. This is counter to what i'm used to and just wanted to confirm with the gurus out there if this is good advice or bad advice. Thanks 🙂

Slug redirect to existing subdomain?
Hi everyone, I'm Levi, new here and new in the world of SEO so please don't judge if my question is silly. Back on the days when my website was built we tought of having subdomains to help with SEO. We have a couple subdomains set up https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk etc .
Link Building | | Leviiii
We do have some content on these, but from seo perspective creating a slug and redirecting it to the subdomains would be beneficial? Would it make any difference at all, good or bad? Ex. Creating
https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-tofrom-stansted and redirecting it to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk
Will this help or we better create different content on the slugs? Waiting for your opinions.
Thanks in advance.0 -
GA traffic locations must be wrong? Most hits from a state we don't do business in!
I launched a website earlier this year. Very limited traffic, 200-300 a month. It is an info site for a specialized business. However, when I review my GA traffic reports, 20% of our traffic comes from one city in Virginia. (although the company does business in many states, it does not in Virginia) or anything close. The bounce rate is 97%! Could it be a web scraper or some kind of redirect?

301 Redirects from Subdomain to Location Pages
I have a client site that is getting redesigned. Its a multi location service provider. Currently (for whatever reason) the location pages are sub domains. https://<location-name>.site.com/ In the new design the locations will be on the main domain. https://site.com/locations/<location-name> We are considering using 301 redirects from the current sub domains to the new location pages on the main domain. The current sub domains are setup on a multi-site with A records for each one in our GoDaddy account. Would like to get feedback on any unforeseen SEO issues that anyone might have input on.

Best way to "Prune" bad content from large sites?
I am in process of pruning my sites for low quality/thin content. The issue is that I have multiple sites with 40k + pages and need a more efficient way of finding the low quality content than looking at each page individually. Is there an ideal way to find the pages that are worth no indexing that will speed up the process but not potentially harm any valuable pages? Current plan of action is to pull data from analytics and if the url hasn't brought any traffic in the last 12 months then it is safe to assume it is a page that is not beneficial to the site. My concern is that some of these pages might have links pointing to them and I want to make sure we don't lose that link juice. But, assuming we just no index the pages we should still have the authority pass along...and in theory, the pages that haven't brought any traffic to the site in a year probably don't have much authority to begin with. Recommendations on best way to prune content on sites with hundreds of thousands of pages efficiently? Also, is there a benefit to no indexing the pages vs deleting them? What is the preferred method, and why?

How does Google know if a backlink is good or not?
Hi, What does Google look at when assessing a backlink? How important is it to get a backlink from a website with relevant content? Ex: 1. Domain/Page Auth 80, website is not relevant. Does not use any of the words in your target term in any area of the website. 2. Domain/Page Auth 40, website is relevant. Uses the words in your target term multiple times across website. Which website example would benefit your SERP's more if you gained a backlink? (and if you can say, how much more would it benefit - low, medium, high).
