Redirecting an Entire Website?
-
Is it best to redirect an old website to a new website page by page to like pages or just the entire site all at once to the home page of the new site?
I do have about 10 good pages on the site that are worth directing to corresponding pages on the new site. Just trying to figure out what is going to preserve the most link juice.
Thanks for the help!

I also want to redirect my client's website blazingweb.site to a new domain name that is more focused on speeding up websites. Is it good to transfer or better to get a new domain name?

@photoseo1 Redirecting an entire website involves directing all pages and URLs to new locations or a different domain. It's a strategic decision that requires careful planning and execution. Preserve SEO value and communicate the change effectively.

If you redirect your entire website to another website, it will pass the complete link juice to another website and that's the most advantageous thing.
Suppose you have a 30 DA website and some good backlinks..If you redirect it to another website, it will get the same authority and the link juice

@Kateparish Thanks so much for the advice.

@photoseo1 You need to redirect your whole website to your new URL. Simply do it via your cpanel, and do not forget to check the wildcard option. This will help you to redirect all pages as well.

@photoseo1 When redirecting an old website to a new one, it's best to use individual page-to-page redirects for important pages. This preserves link juice and SEO value. It guides search engines and visitors to corresponding pages on the new site. Redirecting the entire site to the new site's homepage is an option for small sites without significant page equivalents. However, it may not retain the same SEO benefits. Targeted page redirects ensure a smooth transition, maintain rankings, and enhance user experience.

What are the SEO ramifications of domain redirection?
Hi Moz Community! I was just trying to set up our global site and got this message: "Redirect detected
SEO Tactics | | Padmagandhini
We have detected that the domain bhaktimarga.org redirects to prodfront-coli.bhaktimarga.mediactive-network.net. We do not recommend tracking a redirect URL. Would you like to track prodfront-coli.bhaktimarga.mediactive-network.net for this campaign instead?"
6358703c-d8ef-4c0a-83a9-c948d370d743-image.png What's interesting is when you go to the site, Bhaktimarga.org, it shows our domain in the URL bar. Is this done for performance and masks the hosting provider domain? I haven't talked to website developers about this yet, but my main question is...Does this have any SEO ramification? Thanks so much,

Hosting in the US for an Australian website
Hi, I was wondering whether it's still important for SEO to host a website in the same country as you're targetting. We host a fair few Australian sites and we're looking for a new webhost at the moment. Should we only consider hosting on Australian servers or is it worth looking at servers elsewhere? One of the main reasons we're thinking about US hosting is that we can get a machine that is 3x more powerful than we can get in Australia for the price. This performance increase should go some way to minimizing the effect of the latency increase. Thanks, Nick
