slug Link redirect to subdomain?
-
Hi !
Im Levi new here and new in the world of SEO, please dont judge if my questions are silly.Back on the days when the site was built we thought it is a good ideea to have subdomains that together with the domain name represent our main keywords.
ex. https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk.There is content on this subdomains, would it make any difference from SEO perspective if we create slugs that redirect to these subdomains? for example creating https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-vip-tesla-norwich-to-stansted that redirects to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk ? Or better create these slugs with slightly different content?
Any ideeas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance! -
@Leviiii actually if you are solely creating slugs that redirect to the subdomains, then there is little value in this action? Would be better off just having the subdomains linked from your main domain directly. Better for both users and search crawlers.
Alternatively, if your slugs have different content and then you can link to the corresponding subdomain. *Note that its a normal href link and not a redirection. If you are worried about content duplication or keyword cannibalisation when doing this, can simply point a canonical tag over from the subpage to the subdomain.

The first option displays the same content on one URL as it does on another. For example, if you recently changed your domain to DomainB but still have a large number of visitors to DomainA, you could use this to show them all of the existing content that is located on the new domain without having to update both websites.

Solve Redirect Chains
I've gotten a few Redirect Issues that involve Redirect Chains, with the https:// version redirecting to the www. version and then redirecting to the right URL. Here is an example:

Schermafbeelding 2021-12-07 om 11.04.32.png I've tried setting a direct redirect between the first and the last URL, but WordPress doesn't seem to allow that (it's overwritten). I've also tried checking the internal links to make sure that none of the links are the first one. They don't seem to be there. Does anyone have any tips on solving these Redirect Chains?0 -
When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

Redirecting dofollow, high-domain-authority links from one site to another: good idea?
I have two sites that offer help for freelance writers. The first gets almost no search traffic and is very low priority for me. The second is my main priority and gets substantial search traffic. The low-priority site has a significant number of dofollow backlinks from high-domain-authority sites. Is it a good idea to 301 redirect these links to similar/related posts on my high-priority site? Would this potentially boost the SEO of my high-priority site? Thanks for any help!
