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.

When buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? OSE not showing links
when buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? Sometimes the open site explorer doesn't show any links to the domain, especially if the domain is parked. Obviously a domain for sale with 1000 domains linking to it has lots of SEO Value right? Thanks mozzers!

Website is Dropping in PR
Hey there. I'm new here at our company, and I'm working on SEO for a website we are working on (www.greenthumbdepot.com). We are doing some link-building (forums, articles, blogs, directory submissions, etc) and are currently trying to find some good quality links, as well. After 3 months, the site was on page 15 for the search term "hydroponics nutrients" on Google, and on the first pages of organic search for Bing and Yahoo!. However, looking again, our website has disappeared from the first 50 pages of Google (according to SEOMOZ). From what I can see, the incoming links are not spammy, and the articles we have been submitting have been driving a small amount of traffic to the site. Are we doing something incredibly wrong here? We've changed the meta tags a couple of nights ago. I'm a noob here, so please go easy on me! I'm learning... so thanks for any advice you can give. -jen

How to Define Quality of External Website During Link Building?
I want to know about process, method or tool which can help me to define quality of external website during link building. We are searching too many questions and topics on Google to resolve daily mind bubbles which land us on different website with different subject. I found that, I was able to drop my website URL over there but confuse about quality of website. I am selling Football and create external link from baby care website. So, will it make sense? My concern is that, Can we create external links from different subject website or specific to subject oriented website? Is there any specific method which help me to understand more about external website and help me to take decision about link building?
