Tips do join 2 domains
-
I would like to move all my old domain content ( dicasdogoogle.com.br) with more than 1200 tutorials pages to a new one (seomartin.com)... and then unify them.
I´m using wordpress in both but the permalinks are different... Any tips 4 me folks?

Hey There
OK, this should be pretty straightforward then;
1. Create a new section for the new blog where the old content will go (basically a page that's a blog "homepage").
2. Export all the old content from the old blog using WordPress' export function.
3. Have your redirects ready to go - some people like using just the .htaccess file, some prefer the redirection plugin. Either way, you'll want to maintain ownership of course of the old domain name. Individually redirect every piece of content to it's new home.
4. Import the posts to the new blog.
5. Put the redirects in place. Obviously check everything really well.
I wouldn't use the move domain tool in WMT since you're not doing a direct 1:1 move.
Hope that helps!

thanks Dan,
- are you moving just blog posts, or are you moving pages too?
Only Blog Posts - when you say "combine" do you mean put the old blog posts into the new blog section on the new site?
YEAP! - you're going to maintain the same theme as is currently on SEO Martin?
YEAP! - how do you want this transition to appear publicly? Just that one day, all of a sudden both sites will be combined? Or are you going to do it in stages?
The fastest as possible, (no stages) - what are you going to do with the old domain? redirect the old URLs to the corresponding new content?
I don´t know... I can redirect posts urls to the new site or just use as second domain, in this case i´m wondering to redirect the same way because permalinks are little bit different
I also know google webmaster tool have a "move your domain" section... but i´cant find information if I should use that before or after the "move" ... thanks Dan !-)

This really depends on the specifics of what you need to do. In other words;
- are you moving just blog posts, or are you moving pages too?
- when you say "combine" do you mean put the old blog posts into the new blog section on the new site?
- you're going to maintain the same theme as is currently on SEO Martin?
- how do you want this transition to appear publicly? Just that one day, all of a sudden both sites will be combined? Or are you going to do it in stages?
- what are you going to do with the old domain? redirect the old URLs to the corresponding new content?
Whatever the case, you'll probably need some arrangement of these;
If you want to leave some more specifics, myself or someone else could chime in with more info.
I also wouldn't rule out developing the whole thing on a dev server first.

Dividing my catalog into 2 different sites.
Hi, We are a wholesaler for electronics parts and accessories on our main site Our Business for parts is more B2B. Accessories is more B2C oriented. Right now, our catalog is not the best SEO Friendly kind. We want to move all accesories to a new site. Now. So as not to get duplicated content, and user experience, I guess the best is remove all category pages and product pages from our main site. That would generate lots of 404. What would be the way to handle this as we are talking about hundreds, maybe thousands of pages ? Thanks.

Using Webmaster Tools to Redirect Domain to Specific Page on Another Domain
Hey Everyone, we redirected an entire domain to a specific URL on another domain (not the homepage). We used a 301 Redirect, but I'm also wondering if I should use the Google Webmaster Tools "Change of Address" section to redirect. There is no option to redirect the old domain to the specific URL on the new domain within the "Change of Address" section. Thoughts?

International Domain and URL Method of Preference
I'm seeing varied opinions and methods preferred for domain/URL structure on international websites. A specific example we have now is an international brand in Asia, USA, Brazil/South America, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. Their current domains are all fragmented across the brand and our goal is to have them unified, examples of their issue here; country.brand.com

www.brand.com.au
www.brand.co.nz What I'm looking for is an approach that will have the best long term impact but no short term losses as well. I'm leaning toward www.brand.com.eu or www.brand.com/eu/ Looking at SERP's for other countries, subdomain geographic segmenting doesn't seem to show on any first pages in the SERPs. There is one other option I'm still interested in finding out more about, geographically segmenting sites and pages through canonical or hreflang. Interested in hearing some additional POV's. Thanks!

Stability in the rankings - Domain mapping
Tues domain mapping of multiple (more than 180) urls to a single address can harm rankeamento these urls? I have the following scenario… Mapping domain addresses: www.meusitecidade01.com www.meusitecidade02.com www.meusitecidade03.com ... www.meusitecidade181.com to: www.meusite.com where I have a index.php page which will assemble according to the url mapped. This could be hurting my SEO in any way? There has been a lot of stability in the rankings (not google dance) some of these urls for some keywords and unique pecularidade see that, relative to other site, is the above scenario.

Do exact matter domain not matter anymore?
I need to buy a new domain and Im wondering if I should be looking at a exact matching domain or simply just some nice name. Did the last change from Google simply just lessen the importance of the exact matching domain or completely kill the importance of them?

Multi domain redirect to single domain
Hello, all SEOers. Today, I would like to get some ideas about handling multiple domains. I have a client who bought numerous domains under purpose of prevent abuse of their brand name and at the same time for future uses. This client bought more than 100 domains. Some domains are paused, parked, lived and redirected to other site. I don't worry too much of parked domains and paused domains. However, what I am worrying is that there are about 40 different domains are now redirected to single domain and meta refresh was used for redirections. As far as I know, this can raise red flag for Google. I asked clients to clean up unnecessary domains, yet they want to keep them all. So now I have to figure out how to handle all domains which are redirect to single domain. So far, I came up with following ideas. 1. Build gateway page which shows lists of my client sites and redirect all domains to gateway page. 2. Implement robots.txt file to all different domains 3. Delete the redirects and leave it as parked domains. Could anyone can share other ideas in order to handling current status? Please people, share your ideas for me.
