Hello good people,
Website A was doing great in terms of traffic and ranking.
Website B had seen a steady decline in traffic and visibility for several years, most likely due to thin content issues.
Website B was merged into website A. Content was redirected on a per page basis with a rewrite rule that takes domain name and the change in URL structure into account. After merging the two websites, traffic and rankings of Website A started dropping.
What would be the best course of action here?
- Weed out thin content and stick with the merger?
- Removing all of Website B's content and the redirects to Website A?
- ??
Thanks!
