That's what I was thinking too.  It may only be a few weeks but that will give me some idea what to keep.

I just didn't know if that mattered and removing those pages would have a negative effect.  But since it's on a separate domain, it guess not.

Thanks!

Our company website has needed a complete overhaul for some time now and the new one is almost ready to go live.  We also have a separate "news" site that is houses around 800 blog posts and news items.  (That news site will be thrown away because it's on a completely different domain and causes confusion.)

So we have a main site with about 100 decent blog posts and a separate news site with 800 poor posts.

I plan on bringing all the main site blog posts over to the new site (both WordPress), but my question is whether or not to bring over the news site posts?  All, handful, none?

Another issue is the news site doesn't have Google Analytics, so I'm not sure if any posts actually generate traffic, but I can from the main site we do get some referrals from it.

As far as quality of content goes, it's poor.  Not sure who wrote it all, but it's mainly text press releases that aren't very interesting.

Is it worth bringing over for SEO purposes or simply delete the site and create a mass redirect so all of those pages will direct to the new website's blog page?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
