Welcome to the Q&A Forum

They are defiantly related Dan. Site A is for Primary Care Physicians.  Site B is for Clinical Geriatrics which is a part of the whole Primary Care Market.  Family doctors are always interested in the elderly.

I just need to know what will happen to site B and its Domain Authority if I change the domain name and then add a bunch more content (about 2,000 urls).  With the Change will I lose much of my 58 DA?

Thanks,

Jeff

I have 2 sites.  Site A is doing well and growing, but has a low Domain Authority.  Site B is older, has a higher authority but I want to retire it as the site's topic is well dated.

Can I move all of my content on site A, to site B, change site B's name to Site A's name keep its higher authority and add all of the content and 301 redirect from site A to site B?

Whew,

Thanks for any thoughts,

Thanks,

While agree with your thinking, I was more specifically thinking about how in tune it would be with Google's Quality Guidelines. We publish information for Doctors, its very clinical.  We never get much in the way of likes or shares with this community. In fact we are struggling with time on site as well, since all of our websites support print product where doctors seem (gulp) to have a preference.

Thanks for your consideration and I agree with your assessment as well.

I was wondering if serving 6 or 7 ads on a webpage would have a negative effect on a websites Domain Authority.

Thanks Man,

I have done some page retirement previously, when Penguin and Panda were haunting some sites.  I 301 the good links elsewhere and retired pages with otherwise spammy links.

I thought there might be a way to reclaim some links and retire pages that were not ranking or creating visits.

Thanks for your thoughts and recommendation.

Thank David,

75% of the urls have unique content.  We are a medical journal publishing CLINICAL information for Primary Care Doctors.  Most of the URLs have unique content, talking to a wide group of doctors.  The keyword volume is either too large for our content to be ranking or too small for the search engine volume to help us much.

Since most of those URLs have one, two or no links, and 0 - 15 pageviews in a year, I though to retire them, but I might loose keyword rank or who knows.

I hope that helps. 25% of the urls of us blogging about reports we feel might be valuable. Its our URL but mostly stuff we find on the web that we somewhat aggregate.

I have a site with 6000 indexed urls.  1,500 have traffic I feel is valuable and 4,500 with almost no traffic (perhaps less than 10 page views in a year).  These 4500 are inedxed but have 1 or less in bound links.

If I retire the pages, will I help or hurt my Domain Authority and separately my rankings that could produce traffic?

I'd appreciate any consideration.

How long before I can see those links show up in SEO Moz for my website?  What elements is SEO Moz looking for before they add the  wordpress site to my linking domains report?
