          Hi i am a real newbie to this and i hope for a guide on how to do this. I seen a few moz post and is quiet confusing hopefully somebody able to explain it in layman terms to me.

          I would like to  301 redirect this way, both website contain the same niche.

          oldwebsite.com > newwebsite.com

          and also its pages.....

          oldwebsite.com/test >newwebsite.com/test

          So my question here is i would like to host my old domain and its pages in my new website hosting in order to redirect to my new domain and its pages

          how do i do that? would my previous page link overwrite my new page link? or it add on the juice link?

          Do i need to host the whole old domain website into my new hosting in order to redirect the old pages?

          really confusing here, thanks!

              Yes. you should move your contents to your new host and redirect your old domain to new one.

                by parking the domain in the new hosting, all my previous pages will be gone right? unless i move everything from the old server to the new one? so i can redirect those pages to my new one too

                  Yes. Simply park your domain on your new hosting and redirect it using this code.

                    do we need to keep this redirect permanently? for example to keep the hosting on in order for it to redirect it to my new site.

                      yes; all of your old links move to new domain without hurting your SEO. Its a permanent redirection called 301.

                        by using this code

                        Options +FollowSymlinks
                        RewriteEngine On
                        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC]
                        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

                        how would it affect my seo? would it merge from the old link to the new link?

                          Hi

                          its better to ask instead of not asking 🙂

                          First, you should host your old domain on your new site and use this htaccess code to redirect 301 all your urls to new domain(don't forget to change newdomain.com and yourdomain.com with your new and old site):

                          Options +FollowSymlinks
                          RewriteEngine On
                          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC]
                          RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

                          RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [NC]
                          RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

                          then you should submit a request in webmaster tools > change of address part to move your site authority completely.

                            New Flurry of thousands of bad links from 3 Spammy websites. Disavow?

                            I also discovered that a website www.prlog.ru put 32 links to my website.  It is a russian site.  It has a 32% spam score. Is that high? I think I need to disavow. Another spammy website link has spam score of 16% with with several thousand links. I added one link to the site medexplorer.com 6 years ago and it was fine. Now it has thousands of links. Should I disavow all three?

                            Old subdomains - what to do SEO-wise?

                            Hello, I wanted the community's advice on how to handle old subdomains. We have https://www.yoursite.org. We also have two subdomains directly related to the main website: https://www.archive.yoursite.org and https://www.blog.yoursite.org. As these pages are not actively updated, they are triggering lots and lots of errors in the site crawl (missing meta descriptions, and much much more). We do not have particular intentions of keeping them up-to-date in terms of SEO. What do you guys think is the best option of handling these? I considered de-indexing, but content of these page is still relevant and may be useful - yet it is not up to date and it will never be anymore. Many thanks in advance.

                            How would you optimize a new site?

                            Hi guys, im here to ask based on your personal opinion. We know in order to rank in SEO for a site is to make authority contents that interest people. But what would you do to increase your ranking of your site or maybe a blog post? leaving your link on blogs comment seem dangerous, nowadays. Is social media the only way to go? Trying to get people to write about you? what else can be done?

                            Does Google crawl and index dynamic pages?

                            I've linked a category page(static) to my homepage and linked a product page (dynamic page) to the category page. I tried to crawl my website using my homepage URL with the help of Screamingfrog while using Google Bot 2.1 as the user agent. Based on the results, it can crawl the product page which is a dynamic. Here's a sample product page which is a dynamic page(we're using product IDs instead of keyword-rich URLs for consistency):http://domain.com/AB1234567 Here's a sample category page: http://domain.com/city/area Here's my full question, does the spider result (from Screamingfrog) means Google will properly crawl and index the property pages though they are dynamic?

                            Separate domain name for a subdomain?

                            I just created a subdomain to help our main TLD website. I was wondering if it's smart to create a separate TLD for this subdomain and set up a forward and build links to it. Reason I was thinking about it because it would be easier for people to remember instead of typing in subdomain.maindomain.com. But, I don't want the main website to suffer, since the purpose of creating this subdomain and it's content is to help the main domain. Any inputs on this? Thank you.
