Hello Marisa

Thanks for the reply.

That makes perfect sense - I was thinking along those lines, I just really wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything!

Hello

I am looking for advice regarding moving content from one site to another.

We have two websites:

Site 1:  E-commerce site, with content weaved in throughout the visitor journey.
Site 2: Blog-style site, used to archive magazine (which we own) articles online.

Both sites exist on completely separate domains.

Over time, Site 2 has received a lot less attention due to a change in our business objectives.  As a result of this, this site is not as up-to-date as it could be and we're now starting to think about winding the brand down.

However, some of the content (mostly feature-pieces, reviews etc) on Site 2 is really good and it would be a shame to just see such high quality stuff disappear into the ether.

Ideally, we would like migrate some of the content on Site 2 to Site 1.  The reasons for this are mostly to improve things from a visitor perspective, but also to gain any positive SEO points from adding such pieces to our main domain.

I've had a look through and a lot of the articles from Site 2 are indexed.

Is it going to be a case of selecting the pieces I want and then adding a 301s to those pages so they're no longer found/visable before re-publishing them on Site 1?

Sorry if this is a bit of silly question, just wanted some advice to ensure I go about it the right way.

Thanks!
