Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Tom,
yes I have WordPress, I have read a few guides online about it.

for the search and replace part, I found a plugin called Better Search Replace: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/

the instructions in the search engine journal article do the search-replace manually. The plugin should be better, have you tried it?

Good question. In all honesty, I think it's safe to go forward with an HTTPS migration.

I am a bit worried. I asked this question to many people in many forums and nobody replies. Which makes me wonder if it's something really bad. It would be nice to have additional opinions.

Few days ago Google indexed hundreds of my directories by mistake (error with plugins/host), my traffic dropped as a consequence.

Anyway I fixed that and submitted a URL removal request. Now just waiting things to go back to normality.

Meantime I was supposed to move my website to HTTPS this week.

Question:

Should I wait until this indexing error has been fixed or I may as well go ahead with the SSL move?

Hi,

thanks for taking the time to answer, but honestly this does not address the point I am trying to make.

Lets see if I can be more clear with an example.Let's suppose I have an affiliate WordPress website that reviews cameras.

OPTION 1: My URLs at the moment are "POST" type:

/best-camera
/best-sony-camera
/best-fujifilm-camera
/fujifilm-xt20-review
/canon-60d-review
/nikkon-750d-review

OPTION 2: Other websites in my niche have also a wordpress website and they posted the same topics as "PAGE" type:

/best-camera
/best-camera/sony
/best-camera/fujifilm
/review/fujifilm-xt20
/review/canon-60d
/review/nikkon-750d

Here, best sony camera and fujifilm review are wordpress child pages of the parent pages review and best cameras

Question:

How much SEO advantage do these people (the PAGE type people - option 2) have over me (POST type website - option 1)?

Is it gonna be worthwhile for me to re-design my website and have all my option 1 re-organized as option 2?

When I started my website many years ago I didn't have any idea what I was doing so I just did it all as posts. But these people clearly are experienced and started the website with the right foot. So I am wondering if it's gonna be worthwhile for me to transform my website structure from option 1 into option 2.

Yes, nobody in my niche is doing this, which is a bad sign, I know.

The point was this, I already have a successful website in the sex adult niche and I thought, if I expand into porn I will use my current "authority" to help my new porn-related pages rank higher.

If I create a new domain, I am pretty much starting from zero, with no advantages. I don't see much point in that.

Hi,

I read and watched the video, but I don't see why I should add dofollow links? how does it help?

Say you have a WordPress website with reviews and lists.

Would you use "post" or "page" type for them?

Is there any SEO advantage in using pages/subpages instead of posts?

Hello,
why? could you expand on this?

Hello,

I was reading that having many nofollow outbound links is bad for SEO.

Could somebody give me an idea how many is "many"?

Hello,

I'm thinking to extend my website into porn. At the moment there is no pornography on it, although we do talk about sex related topics and products (from dating to tutorials, to toys etc.)

Would it be dangerous to keep the porn section on the same domain as the rest? Would this negatively affect my non-porn content as Googlebot would "flag" my website as being pornographic (although only a few pages would be)?

Or simply Googlebot would leave the current non-porn pages ranking as they are now, just fine, and plus it would rank the porn pages if they "deserve" to?

I hope my question is clear.

I don't want to create a subdomain.
