301 Redirect Properly To Keep the Juice

[fAgBxa8b]

I have a bunch of  WP Blogs and was thinking of taking all linkjuice from these to my main money site. The most of the other WP Blogs is hosted at godaddy.com (domain and site) and I know they have a URL Redirects page in site manager but I`m not sure this is the right way to go.

Also I wonder some of these sites have hundreds of blogposts  there is no way I can "re-create" those on the money site but I am sure that is not a must-thing to do in order to keep the "juice" right or wrong?

Last but not least, I was wondering if you think it would be best to redirect the sites to relevant pages on money sites. For instance if i had a domain called cheap-ties.com with 100 blogposts about this and on money site a webshop with a category called ties, should redirect to this or to main domain  or doesnt it matter?

if you fo 100+ 301s to a single page, they will be ignored, well at least the vast amount of them.  do they all have incomming links? if not just 301 the ones that do.

Ok, so since my old blog is only about, for example, ties,  all 100+ posts on the old blog is related with ties, it should be safe 301 redirect ALL content of the old blogposts to the ties category on my new webshop and keep transfer PR value of the old one to the new?

No, it does not matter what the content was, the new linked page should be relevant to the linking page and its link text.

You may have a link from a page about cars, with link text v8 engines, the old linked page may have been about cars also, but it may not of been, it may of been about ice creams. but you would not want to do that this time, make sure the new linked page is about cars.

When you 301 redirect, forget about the old linked page, it ios the linking page you need to share relevancy with

Do you mean in order to preserve and move the current PR and link juice I need to create the same content on the site it redirects to ?

For instance if i have a blog post on old domain like this:

www.olddomain.com/why-you-should-wear-a-tie

it need to have a similar name and/or content on new domain :

www.newdomain.com/why-you-should-wear-a-tie

with the same page content as original post on old domain in order to "move" the current PR to new site?

First link juice comes from links, if there are no external links pointing to pages then you will get no link juice. So look at the pages that have external links. They should be 301 redirected, do not mass 301 redirected to the one page or they will be ignored.

Try to redirect to relevant pages. When i say relevant I mean relevant to the page the link comes from and the link text, not the page it used to point to that has no affect.
