Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Our travel company used to maintain a set of country destination guides on our site, under the www.oursite.com/destinations/country folder path.  Because we offer tours all over the world, we used these pages as high-level guides to each country so a prospect could get a sense of the highlights of those destinations.  These pages operated as landing pages too.  Unfortunately the pages became stale and unfocused, and we decommissioned them.  In order to bring them down, we put a 301 redirect on these URLs, pointing them to a faceted-search page that showed all of our tours to that country, with URLs: www.oursite.com/trips/country. These faceted-search pages were pulling double duty as both search pages and landing pages, which isn't ideal (from a users perspective). We are now in the process of redoing our search function and we'll need to move the search URLs off /trips/ and onto /search/.  Within this transition, we are going to re-launch destination guides, and I think the best place for them will be back on the old /destinations/ subfolder.  So, a few moving parts here. My question: Do you see problems with reversing the redirect path completely? Ie. where we currently redirect /destinations/country to /trips/country, we are now proposing to redirect /trips/country to /destinations/country.  Our concern in this equation is that, over the last few years, we've built up significant link volumes and equity to the /trips/ pages, and we don't want to lose that.

Hello Moz Community, We are currently in the process of launching new ccTLDs.  We need to know how to handle this from a press release perspective. Scenario: If we have a global press release, should we release a version for each one of our TLD's within the wires?  Or how should this be handled. Thank you, Valerie MacDonald
