Restarting SEO when you move to different state
-
Hi every one, I have been working on my local citations but I have a blog which has been up for 4 years and has about 500 blog posts but I was living in NJ before and there is loads of stuff from jersey and also I have a lot of errors which is way too much to go back and fix like thousands since I am a photographer and loads of images. Would I be better off starting a new blog in my new SC region?
my blog is feuzablogs.com and my main website is feuzareis.com so I thought of just doing a www.feuzareis.com/blog
is it too much google juice to miss out on? is changing locations worth keeping blogging at this previous blog or should I just leave it up and start a new one which will be focused on new location?
thanks

Thanks Miriam, well I do have 6 weddings there this year and the commute with kids is not so fun as I thought it would be so more of a hassle and really need business here for now. And the errors are years of errors before I did not know any better and like in the thousands, I don't see a way to bulk fix errors and thus why I considered new one, I was just not sure if I just left old one up and started fresh but then how long to start getting some page rank and authority ya know.

Hi Feuza,
I like the idea of starting your new on-site blog at feuzareis.com/blog to begin showcasing your work in SC, and if handled properly, 301 re-directing the old blog to the new one might be a good idea, but if there is any chance that the old blog might still earn you business (for instance, if you would be willing to travel to NJ for great jobs), then it may well be worth it to fix those errors and continue to maintain that blog.

So do a redirect for www.feuzablogs.com to www.feuzareis.com/blog, yes I do have PR and DA. thanks.

Hello, since you have put 4 years into this site, I believe you should not just abandon it. Instead, set up your new blog or site which will be optimized for your new location. When your site is live, setup a 301 redirect from the original domain (s) to the new domain. This will forward some of the link juice to your new website. Even though the target keywords will have changed, you can benefit from the Page Rank, Domain Authority, etc...

Our company has drafted several SEO blogs using certain keywords.

Internal blog with history and some SEO value versus new external blogs with specialized content?
We operate a blog inside a folder on our site and considering the launch of 4 highly focused blogs with specialized content which are now categories on the internal blog. Wondering if there is more value in using the external new blogs or just keep growing the internal blog content. Does fact that the internal blog is buried amongst millions of pages have any impact if we want the content indexed and value given to the links from the blog content to our main site pages.

SEO for a News based site : Outdated content
How do we maintain the SEO of a 5 year old News content based site? How should we deal with 3-4 year old content, which are outdated or not searched? Some of them are still useful as archiving/history of a topic..but not searched.... ?? Should we no-index them? or should we keep it like that?

URL structure on moving from old nukedit site to Drupal
I am currently rebuilding a site in Drupal. The old site was in Nukedit and all the urls end in .asp. Given the new urls will not end in .asp is there any point in matching the rest of the url or will using 301 redirects (to better seo'd pages) be sufficient to minimise any (temporary) ranking loss?

Does having blog on subdomain weaken primary site's SEO?
I have a Joomla site with a WordPress subdomain that I'm wanting to use as a learning center. It's far more simple for new blog editors and publishers to learn that over Joomla. The issue I'm facing is trying to figure out rather having the blog put into the primary domain instead of a subdomain will hurt my ratings at all? Where I got the idea that it may hurt ratings is due to how (from what I understand) search engines will see a subdomain slightly different than the primary domain. Thank you for any help!

What is the best way to get around duplicate content when you are advertising exactly the same content on two different sites?
I am currently trying to improve exposure for an online degrees website but the content for the degree program pages is exactly the same as the company's main website. What would you suggest for getting around the duplicate content issue as a lot of the curriculum content will obviously be the same for each module, etc? Thanks
