New website
-
Hello,
How bad is going to be if I change my Joomla website to Wordpress? I can check the 100 best pages and redirect them to the new url with 301 but my website has 424 pages.
- If is this needs time, how long does it take to be in the same position?
- Is Google review my new website quickly?
- What about if I make my services more specific and the main topic is going to be smaller in pages? (Mpre social services pages vs. less pages about the main webdesign topic)
I should change my website to WP but I am afraid because now I am in the 2.
Thanks!
Regards,

Thanks!
- Is it better to change to HTML5? (SEO value?)
- If I choose only the 200 good content and create 100 much better new optmized content?
- What do you think if I broaden my link profile? Now I am SEO optimized to ecommerce webdesign. (Now just ecommerce and I make the : online marketing + webdesign + blog design + seo...)
The Penguin make me 2. and i was 4-5. before, that is why I am afraid of the changes now
Thanks!
Best regards,
Misi

Hi,
If the 424 pages are important and have specific content, you need to redirect all the content. You can't loose anything.
If the content isn't specific, You should plan to remake new pages with more specific content and take care about all the SEO factors (check out all the SEOmoz tools).
Use Webmaster tools to comunicate google the new sitemap. Now Webmaster tools detect if you're using WP or other software.
I did the same the past month, but with a big website to HTML5 code and redirect all the content. The pages load faster and Google crawler reach more pages. In 2 weeks the web had the same positions (but with google penguin update I had a little Google dance contest)
Check your top pages and content and be careful with, plan all your content and menus (architectural page content) and check all on-page SEO factors.

New website on new url?
We have a new website on a new url (been up for around 2 years now) and our old website is slowly fading in the background, we are now at the point where the money is still ok but we are having issues running both side by side, we have a calculator on each page and are thinking about removing this and adding a box with please order from our new site here (with url of similar page). Now the issue is we don't want to link for SEO purposes and google hammer us (thinking of no - following these) and we also have a penalty we got in 2012 on the site but we did get out of this, would this cause any issue to the new site?

Author Mark on multiple websites - Is this possible?
Let's assume that someone has a blog and they've added the author tag to that so they appear in author search. Let's say they then write an article on another site? Can that site use the same author mark for them? I guess the question is: Can the same author mark be used across multiple sites?

New Website and Domain Question
Hi all, I am launching a new website around the end of October and I have purchased a great domain to use for it. My question is should I put some kind of holding page up to try and start building up some domain authority in preperation for launch? Or maybe a blog at www.domain.com/blog and then keep all the blog content at the same location when the full site goes up? Or is it best to wait and just launch the site when the first version is complete? Thanks, Ben

Moved to a New Server IP Address
Hi, I just upgraded everything, a much faster server. I have significantly improved page load times. I have 2 questions 1. I also upgraded my blog which is a component of the site. I could NOT redirect post-for-post so made single 301 redirect from all pages from the old blog to the root of new blog. I did not care about the old blog, the posts are irrelevant now. Will the massive redirects be a problem? 2. I had some DNS issues and other problems that took me about 24 hours to fix during the transition. The site is up an fully operational. Will I be penalized? If so, how long Thank you,

Google Website Optimizer
So if you are AB testing two pages: index.html and indexB.html Shouldn't I nofollow indexB.html? It has all the same content, just a different design.
