          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.

                            Does google sandbox aged domains too?

                            Hello, i have a question. Recently i bought a domain from godaddy auction which is 23 years old and have DA 37 PA 34 Before bidding i check out the domain on google using this query to make sure if pages of this website are showing or not (site:mydomain.com) only home page was indexed on google. Further i check the domain on archive web the domain  was last active in 2015. And then it parked for long about 4 years. So now my question does google consider these type of domain as new or will sandboxed them if i try to rebuild them and rank for other niche keywords ? Because its been 4 weeks i have been building links to my domain send several profile and social signals to my domain. My post is indexed on google but not showing in any google serp result.

                            Is domain redirection a good method for SEO?

                            I have a question and need suggestion from you guys. I’ve searched for my question on Google but don’t get exact information what I need. Maybe I can’t search perfectly.
                            Let me explain my confusion:
                            I’ve checked backlink profile of a website. He is not using his main domain while doing comment backlink. He put his another domain while doing comment backlink. The another domain redirect to the main domain. Why he use another domain while doing comment backlink?
                            Is it helpful to get better rank on Google? For example: My Main Domain = solutionfall.com
                            Another Domain= xyz.com (It redirect to solutionfall.com)
                            He just uses xyz.com while doing comment backlink. Thank You so much

                            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?

                            Suspicious external links to site have 302 redirects

                            Hi, I have been asked to look at a site where I suspect some questionable SEO work, particularly link building. The site does seem to be performing very poorly in Google since January 2014, although there are no messages in WMT. Using WMT, OPenSiteExplorer, Majestic & NetPeak, I have analysed inbound links and found a group of links which although are listed in WMT, etc appear to 302 redirect to a directory in China (therefore the actual linking domain is not visible). It looks like a crude type of link farm, but I cant understand why they would use 302s not 301s. The domains are not visible due to redirects. Should I request a disavow or ignore? The linking domains are listed below: http://www.basalts.cn/

                            Noindexing Thin Content Pages: Good or Bad?

                            If you have massive pages with super thin content (such as pagination pages) and you noindex them, once they are removed from googles index (and if these pages aren't viewable to the user and/or don't get any traffic) is it smart to completely remove them (404?) or is there any valid reason that they should be kept? If you noindex them, should you keep all URLs in the sitemap so that google will recrawl and notice the noindex tag? If you noindex them, and then remove the sitemap, can Google still recrawl and recognize the noindex tag on their own?

                            Off-page SEO and link building

                            Hi everyone! I work for a marketing company; for one of our clients' sites, we are working with an independent SEO consultant for on-page help (it's a large site) as well as off-page SEO. Following a meeting with the consultant, I had a few red flags with his off-page practices – however, I'm not sure if I'm just inexperienced and this is just "how it works" or if we should shy away from these methods. He plans to: guest blog do press release marketing comment on blogs He does not plan to consult with us in advance regarding the content that is produced, or where it is posted. In addition, he doesn't plan on producing a report of what was posted where. When I asked  about these things, he told me they haven't encountered any problems before. I'm not saying it was spam-my, but I'm more not sure if these methods are leaning in the direction of "growing out of date," or the direction of "black-hat, run away, dude." Any thoughts on this would be crazy appreciated! Thanks, Casey

                            Are expired domains for Godaddy backlinks already reset by googel ?

                            When does Google actual reset backlinks to a domain. If i am buying expired domains from godaddy action for linking purpose am i wasting my time.Also if that the case whats the point of buying expired domains with many links pointing to them. If the backlinks to the expired domain still show up under my Google webmaster tool window does that mean Google counts that link?

                            Can a Page Title be all UPPER CASE?

                            My clients wants to use UPPER CASE for all his page titles. Is this okay? Does Google react badly to this?
