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?

Added a canonical ref tag and SERPs tanked, should we change it back?
My client's CMS uses an internal linking structure that includes index.php at the end of the URLs. The site also works using SEO-friendly URLs without index.php, so the SEO tool identified a duplicate content issue. Their marketing team thought the pages with index.php would have better link equity and rank higher, so they added a canonical ref tag, making the index.php version of the pages the canonical page. As a result, the site dropped in the rankings by a LOT and has not recovered in the last 3-months. It appears that Google had automatically selected the SEO-friendly URLs as the canonical page, and by switching, it re-indexed the entire site. The question we have is, should they change it back? Or will this cause the site to be reindexed again, resulting in an even lower ranking?

When to re-write and redirect a blog url?
What are best practices for rewriting (and then redirecting) blog URLs? I refresh old blog posts on our blog every month and many of them have URLs that are too long or could be improved. However, many of them also already get decent organic traffic and I don't want to lose traffic due to a URL redirect. Are there any best practices or "rules" I can follow when deciding whether to re-write and redirect blog URLs?

Unanswered questions in forums
What should be done with forum questions that go unanswered for a long time (i.e. year or longer)? Are these types of questions valuable content? Should we opt out of having these types of pages indexed? Since these pages are just one sentences doesn't seem like it is adding value to the site.

"No Information Available" Error for Homepage in Google
Hi Everyone, Been racking my brain around this one. Not sure why it is happening. Basically Google is showing the "www" version of the homepage, when 99% of the site is "non-www". It also says "No Information Available". I have tried submitting it through GSC, but it is telling me it is blocked through the Robots.txt file. I don't see anything in there that would block it. Any ideas? shorturl.at/bkpyG I would like to get it to change to the regular "non-www" and actually be able to show information.

What is the difference between link rel="canonical" and meta name="canonical"?
Hi mozzers, I would like to know What is the difference between link rel="canonical" and meta name="canonical"? and is it dangerous to have both of these elements combined together? One of my client's page has the these two elements and kind of bothers me because I only know link rel="canonical" to be relevant to remove duplicates. Thanks!
