Hello,
I'm not entirely sure I understand your question so please let me know if this answers it or not.
You have two domains and would like to combine them into one domain. If one domain is much more "brandable" than the other you should probably go with that one. If they're about equally brandable you should probably go with the one that has the highest domain authority (DA Score).
Once you have decided which domain to keep, and which one to redirect you will need to plan how to redirect the old site. A migration strategy is beyond the scope of a Q&A post, but generally speaking you'll redirect every page from the old domain to its most equivalent / similar page on the new domain. This redirect should be a "301, Permanent" type of redirect, often - but not always - achieved with a line of code in the site's HT Access file. Sometimes this needs to be a new line of code for every page and sometimes a "regular expression" can be written, which allows one line of code to redirect many pages at once to their corresponding page on the new domain.
The .htaccess file may be hidden on the server, and will require you to show all files. Speak to your host if you need help. I highly recommend getting a professional SEO consultant to help you out on this one.
Resubmitting the old website's XML sitemap to Google once again can help speed up their discovery of all of the redirects.

Moving blogs to different domain
Hey guys, We currently have some blogs on one of our pages (fraserisland.com.au) and we are launching a complete rebranding of our sites. We want to move the blogs from fraserisland.com.au to the new parent page of travelfreedom.com.au (but still link it to fraserisland.com.au), however I don't know what affect this will have on the ranking of the blogs. The biggest thing I'm worried about is that the domain will be completely different, and not a sub domain, but I'm not sure what impact this will have on the effectiveness of SEO on the blog. Thanks guys

Multiple on-page links to single domain
Hi, the main focus of my question is to add a bit more information to my client as to where they are going wrong. Firstly they have a directory on a third party domain with subdirectories containing all their product listings. All the links need to be no-follow for sure. However, from a link juice passing perspective if there are per page say 20-30 links to varying URLs on the same domain is it still the same sort of calculation that the link juice is sufficiently weakened that each link has little value, or because the links are to the same domain there is an extra (potential) filter going on?

Need assistance with website placement
Hi, If a website xyz.com is placed under the top right navigation of a blog abc.com which are closely relevant to each other, will it do any harm to the website in Google search?
Link Building | | promodirect
Now since the website is placed under right navigation, it is visible on every page of the blog, does it matter even though they are closely relevant? Note: The other external links that are on the blog are also relevant to each other. Thank You,

Formatting of Links in Direct Press Releases
I have been looking around but not found any great suggestions. If we send out a direct press release to a journalist, eg to their email address, what is the best format to send it in (eg word, pdf, rtf, html)? Also, if it was to be sent out as a pdf or word doc, is there a good way to put links in there to increase the chance of them putting a keyword link in the article if it was to be published on their site? Would a hyperlink in there be confusing or is that ok?

Why does SEOmoz not show links to my website?
Google WebMaster shows that 55 external sites have links to my website (webmakercms.com). But SEOmoz shows only 5 links and when I click on "download to CSV" I get a message saying that there is no data for this url in Open Site Explorer. Why is this?

Mutliple language website with same keyword for different language
Hi you all, how are you? I'm having a problem with a new client. His website is multilanguage, and he wanted to position his website in Google US, Google Brazil and Google Argentina. The problem is the following: the client is an hotel chain, and for every hotel they own they have an internal website. Because each internal website is well optimized for the keyword that include the city the hotel is in, now the page is decently positioned with the internal pages, not the home. This is fine by me, but here is the problem. Each language (es, en and pt) ranks better in each country. How would you exchange links? Because I have, for each keyword, three websites, each one in a different languages. Coul you give me an idea with this? Someone has experienced the same thing? Thanks!
