Thank you very much, Tom!
What I also want to know is, the many external links which linking to the site's older URLs, after the URL changes (and 301 direct), is it necessary to change the links built on the other sites to point to the new URLs instead of the old URLs? If not, what's the disadvantages? This is also a problem many experience after switching to https.
We're changing our website's URL structures, this means all our site URLs will be changed. After this is done, do we need to update the old inbound external links to point to the new URLs? Yes the old URLs will be 301 redirected to the new URLs too. Many thanks!
We have three sites hosted on the same server with the same IP address. For SEO (to avoid duplicate content) reasons we need to redirect the IP address to the site - but there are three different sites. If we use the "rel canonical" code on the websites, these codes will be duplicates too, as the websites are mirrored versions of the sites with IP address, e.g. www.domainname.com/product-page and 23.34.45.99/product-page. What's the best ways to solve these duplicate content issues in this case?
Many thanks!
